227 East 44th Street is a 2014 new-construction condominium in Turtle Bay, near the United Nations and Grand Central. It is a genuine condominium — units are individually owned and sold — in a nineteen-story tower that stacks residences over a commercial base.
As one of the newer condominiums on its stretch of Midtown East, the building offers the flexibility and modern systems that come with recent construction, in a location built around the UN, Grand Central, and the Midtown business core.
Architecture and building operations
The nineteen-story building rises over roughly 10,000 square feet of commercial space at its base, with the residential program above. As a 2014 Midtown East condominium, it carries elevator and doorman-class service typical of new construction of its vintage.
The building has a limited public marketing profile relative to larger, branded towers; amenity detail and current pricing are best confirmed at diligence and against recorded closings.

The tax benefit ends within a couple of years. As it phases out, the property's real-estate taxes step up toward the full assessed amount — a rising monthly carrying cost worth pricing in now rather than at closing.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
