215 Avenue B, known as The Copper, is a boutique 2008 condominium at the corner of Avenue B and East 13th Street in the East Village, near Tompkins Square Park.
The building takes its name from its distinctive copper-colored aluminum-paneled facade — a modern presence on the avenue. Behind it are 17 full-ownership residences, from studios to two-bedroom penthouses, in a full-service boutique building. It is a rare piece of ground-up condominium construction in a neighborhood otherwise defined by prewar walk-ups.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00396-7501) and verified listing data.
