Carnegie Park is the Related-developed, RAMSA-amenitized condominium of upper Carnegie Hill — a large red-brick tower built in 1986 as a rental by Davis, Brody and reborn in 2014 as a 325-unit condominium, when The Related Companies converted the building and brought in Robert A.M. Stern Architects to reimagine the amenity program. Like its sibling amenity buildings, its defining feature is space almost no Manhattan condominium can offer: a half-acre private landscaped park with a playground at its base, reserved for residents.
The 2014 conversion is what made the building what it is today. Related did not simply re-paper the ownership — it repositioned the property, combining and reconfiguring units down from 455 rentals to roughly 325 condominiums and building out a RAMSA-designed amenity suite: a three-lane pool with a sun deck, a fitness center with a yoga studio, a rooftop terrace with grills, a children's playroom, and a recreation room, all organized around the private park. The result is a family-first full-service condominium in a neighborhood — the Carnegie Hill / Yorkville border — that the Second Avenue Subway has since repriced and connected.
The appeal is the package: a genuine private park, a deep amenity plant, in-unit laundry, and the ownership flexibility of a condominium, in a location that is now one Q-train stop from Lexington. For families who want outdoor space, a pool, and full-service staffing without the constraints of a co-op, Carnegie Park is a direct answer.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a large red-brick tower with signature curved window walls and broad bay windows — a Davis, Brody design of the mid-1980s whose massing and glazing pull wide light into the strongest lines and, on upper floors, deliver open East River and Carnegie Hill sightlines. The 2014 RAMSA work concentrated on the amenity interiors and the park rather than the facade, which retains its 1986 character.
The roughly 325 residences run from one-bedrooms through large three- and four-bedroom family homes created by combining original rental units at conversion. Interiors carry the 2014-conversion finish standard — planned kitchens, in-unit washer/dryers, and modern baths — and the curved-window and bay-window lines are the building's most distinctive. Because the conversion combined units, same-line, same-configuration comparables are the correct pricing unit rather than blended averages.
Building operations
Carnegie Park operates as a full-service, family-oriented condominium: 24-hour doorman and concierge, the three-lane pool and sun deck, the half-acre private park with playground, the RAMSA-designed fitness center and yoga studio, the rooftop terrace with grills, a children's playroom, a recreation room, a bike room, private storage, an on-site attended garage, and valet and dry-cleaning services. Common charges reflect the staffing and the amenity maintenance a park-and-pool building requires. Because the building was a rental until 2014, some sponsor or investor units may remain in the mix; buyers should confirm the specific unit's carry, review the reserve position and any assessment, and understand the current sponsor-unit and rental profile during diligence.
Recent sales
Carnegie Park trades as a family-first full-service condominium where the private park, the pool, and in-unit laundry drive value — in a corridor the Second Avenue Subway has repriced. Pricing runs unit-by-unit: the larger combined family homes and the curved-window lines trade on their own comparable set, and the condominium structure widens the buyer pool relative to the co-ops nearby. Recorded sales auto-populate from public records; unit-level history and current same-line comparables are maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence. Same-line, same-configuration comparables — not blended per-foot averages across a 325-unit converted tower — are the correct analytical unit.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01539-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
Buy the park and the amenity plant deliberately. The half-acre private park with playground, the pool, and the RAMSA amenity suite are the reason to be here, and they carry cost. Confirm the current common charge, the reserve position, and any assessment on the specific unit. Run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator.
Understand the conversion history. The building was a rental until 2014. Confirm the current sponsor-unit and rental composition, and whether any sponsor units remain — it affects the owner-occupancy profile and the financing picture.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre and investment use, subletting, and financing without a co-op board's thresholds are all available; small dogs are permitted; in-unit laundry is standard.
The Second Avenue Subway is priced in — but it is real. Direct Q access at 96th Street repositioned this corridor. Underwrite the location as transit-connected.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the park and the pool. A half-acre private park with a playground plus a three-lane pool is the marketing headline and a genuine differentiator for the family buyer. Use it.
Price the combined family homes on their own set. The large reconfigured units trade on a distinct comparable universe. Don't blend them into the building average.
Sell the transit story and the flexibility. The Q at 96th Street and the condominium's pied-à-terre and sublet flexibility are the facts that reach buyers moving from other neighborhoods.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing; foreign and investor buyers are welcome under the declaration.

The Roebling Team at Carnegie Park
The Roebling Team at Compass works Carnegie Hill, Yorkville, and the Second Avenue corridor of the Upper East Side as a core practice area. We publish this profile because a converted, amenity-heavy condominium demands conversion-aware, unit-level analysis — the combined-unit comparable set, the carry math, and the sponsor-unit picture, not a blended average.
If you're considering a purchase or sale at Carnegie Park, a 30-minute consultation is the right starting point. We'll bring same-line comparables, the full carrying-cost picture, and the diligence priorities specific to a 2014 rental-to-condominium conversion.
