170 East End Avenue brought a level of architectural authorship and amenity depth to East End Avenue that the corridor had rarely seen. Designed by Peter Marino — among the most prominent architects in the luxury-residential and flagship-retail world — and developed by Skyline Developers, the 2008 condominium rose on the site of the former Doctors Hospital, directly across from Carl Schurz Park and the East River esplanade. The building's two stone-and-glass volumes, joined by a glass sheath and organized around a landscaped interior courtyard with a roughly 20-foot waterfall, gave East End Avenue a contemporary trophy address among its older co-op neighbors.
The premise is specific: a quiet, park-facing residential pocket — the most residential stretch of the Upper East Side, near Gracie Mansion — paired with a condominium's flexibility and a full-service amenity package that rivals far larger buildings. For buyers who want the calm of East End Avenue with new-construction systems and resort-grade amenities, the building has no direct equivalent on the avenue.
The location is the draw as much as the architecture. East End Avenue at 87th to 88th places residents on the park and river, with the Carl Schurz Park dog runs, the esplanade, and the East 90th Street ferry within a short walk, in one of Manhattan's most insulated residential enclaves.
Architecture and unit composition
The 110 residences span 19 stories across two stone-and-glass volumes. Layouts run from generous one- and two-bedrooms to large family homes and penthouses, with floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies and terraces on many lines, and interiors finished with oak parquet, custom kitchens, and marble baths; certain residences include wood-burning fireplaces. Peter Marino's design wraps the program around a central landscaped courtyard with a waterfall and sculpture garden — the building's signature shared space and a rare outdoor amenity at this scale on the avenue.
Park- and river-facing exposures command the building's premium; the most prized residences look directly across Carl Schurz Park to the East River.
Building operations
170 East End Avenue operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, and one of the deepest amenity rosters on the Upper East Side — a full-service parking garage, fitness center, squash court, golf simulator, a 40-seat screening room, a library, a children's playroom and art studio, a game and party room, a bike room, and private storage, in addition to the central courtyard. Amenity-rich new-construction condominiums carry meaningful common charges and real estate taxes; buyers should model the full monthly carry and review the building's financials, reserves, and any assessment or capital-work history during due diligence.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

170 East End Avenue prices as a new-construction luxury condominium, benchmarked on a price-per-square-foot basis with the wide spread that floor, exposure, and outdoor space create. The building's defining pricing variable is the park-and-river frontage: residences facing Carl Schurz Park and the East River command the building's top pricing, while interior- and city-facing lines price below. The penthouse tier and any residences with private terraces or wood-burning fireplaces carry further premiums. Because the building offers a combination — Peter Marino authorship, deep amenities, direct park frontage — that is scarce on East End Avenue, comparable analysis is best done at the apartment level rather than by neighborhood average. Specific financing, sublet, and any flip-tax terms should be confirmed at offer stage.

What to know if you’re buying
The location is the asset. Direct frontage on Carl Schurz Park and the East River in Manhattan's quietest residential enclave is the building's core value. Park- and river-facing lines carry the premium.
The amenity package is exceptional — and it costs. Garage, squash, screening room, golf simulator, and the courtyard are real. Model the common charges and taxes.
It's a condo, so it's flexible. Pied-à-terre, investment use, and subletting are permitted under the declaration; 30–45 day closings are standard.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. Multiple brackets are routinely in play at this building's pricing. Run figures through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the park, the river, and the architect. The combination is the building's distinctive story; the marketing should center it.
Apartment-level positioning is decisive. Exposure and outdoor space drive pricing variation — choose the comparable set precisely and foreground the view.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
