20 East End Avenue is Robert A.M. Stern's New Classical answer to the pre-war masters of the Upper East Side, executed as new construction on East End Avenue. Developed by Corigin Real Estate Group and completed in phases from 2016, the 18-story building is clad in brick and Indiana limestone with setbacks and a gated cobblestone motor court — a porte-cochère entrance that few Manhattan condominiums of any era can offer. The design draws explicitly on the language of J.E.R. Carpenter and Rosario Candela, the architects who defined the city's pre-war luxury apartment house, and earned the 2019 Stanford White Award for its classical achievement.
The premise is to deliver pre-war grandeur — proportion, materials, layout, a private motor court — with new-construction systems and condominium flexibility, in the quiet park-and-river enclave of East End Avenue. For buyers who want Stern's classical authorship without the constraints of a pre-war co-op board, 20 East End is a singular address on the corridor. Notably, it was the last New York building permitted to include wood-burning fireplaces before the 2014 ban took effect.
The East End Avenue location — at 80th Street, near Carl Schurz Park, the East River esplanade, and Gracie Mansion — places residents in one of Manhattan's most insulated residential neighborhoods.
Architecture and unit composition
The 43 residences are configured for scale and exclusivity: duplex townhomes, a maisonette, large family floors, and penthouses near the crown, with only a handful of apartments per floor. Stern's brick-and-limestone exterior, setbacks, and motor court establish the building's pre-war posture, while interiors deliver the proportion and finish — high ceilings, formal layouts, and, in select residences, wood-burning fireplaces — that the classical vocabulary implies.
A penthouse at the building set an East End Avenue price record at $30.3 million in 2021, a benchmark that reflects the building's positioning at the top of the corridor.
Building operations
20 East End Avenue operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour concierge and doorman, an on-site garage reached through the porte-cochère motor court, and a deep amenity package: a fitness center and spa, a RAMSA-curated library, a billiards and game room, a poker room, a substantial wine cellar with a private dining room, a children's playroom, and bike and private storage. As a boutique luxury condominium, common charges and real estate taxes are meaningful and are spread across only 43 owners; buyers should model the full carry and review the building's financials and reserves during due diligence.

Facade safety — Local Law 11

Recent sales
20 East End Avenue prices at the top of the East End Avenue corridor, benchmarked on a price-per-square-foot basis with wide variation by residence type — duplex townhomes, full-floor layouts, and penthouses each occupy distinct tiers. The building's combination of Stern authorship, a private motor court, classical finish, and a scarce 43-unit count supports premium pricing, with the penthouse and townhome tiers commanding the highest figures (a penthouse closed at $30.3M in 2021, an avenue record). Because every residence is distinctive, comparable analysis is best done at the apartment level. Specific financing, sublet, and any flip-tax terms should be confirmed at offer stage.

What to know if you’re buying
This is Stern's pre-war language as new construction. The brick-and-limestone facade, the motor court, and the classical layouts are the building's defining features. Buyers respond to that posture or prefer something more contemporary — view it in person.
Scarcity and configuration drive pricing. With 43 residences across distinct types, each tier prices differently. Apartment-level comparable work is essential.
Model the boutique economics. A deep amenity set across few owners means meaningful common charges and taxes. Review the financials and reserves.
Mansion tax thresholds are major. Multiple brackets routinely apply at this building's pricing. Run figures through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architect and the motor court. Stern authorship, the porte-cochère, and the classical finish are the building's distinctive marketing assets.
Position within the residence tier. Townhome, full-floor, and penthouse inventory each have their own comparable set — choose precisely.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
