A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 250 East 21st Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
250 East 21st Street is a 2021 condominium that took its design cues directly from its setting. Where most new towers reach for glass, Issac & Stern Architects gave this 13-story building a limestone facade, French and Juliette windows, and a striking mansard crown — an explicit nod to the European charm and old-world architecture of Gramercy Park, a block and a half away. The result is new construction that reads as if it belongs to the neighborhood it joined, with the systems, layouts, and amenities only a new building provides.
The building, originally introduced as The Edison Gramercy, offers 54 residences across an unusually broad range — studios to four-bedrooms — making it accessible to a wide set of buyers, from pied-à-terre purchasers to families. Its amenity package is generous for its size, anchored by a landscaped yoga garden and two rooftop terraces with Midtown skyline views, and its location places it within steps of Gramercy Park, the 6 train at 23rd Street, and the School of Visual Arts.
For buyers, the appeal is the combination — contextual, design-forward new construction with condominium ownership flexibility, in the heart of one of Manhattan's most coveted residential pockets.
Architecture and residences
Issac & Stern's design is the building's signature. The limestone facade, the French and Juliette windows, and the mansard crown compose a graceful, European-inflected silhouette that distinguishes 250 East 21st from the glass towers of its generation and ties it visually to Gramercy's historic character. It is contemporary architecture written in the neighborhood's own vocabulary.
Inside, the 54 residences range from studios to four-bedrooms, with interiors by Paris Forino bringing a warm, refined finish program. Some homes include private outdoor patio space. Contemporary ceiling heights, oversized windows, open kitchens, and modern mechanical systems with in-unit laundry are standard. The broad unit mix means the building serves a wide range of buyers, while the larger and higher-floor homes — and those with private outdoor space — command the top of the range.
Amenities and lifestyle
The amenity program is well-considered and generous for the building's scale. Residents have a 24-hour attended lobby, a fitness center with premium equipment, a residents' salon with a fireplace and billiards table, a landscaped yoga garden for a moment of calm, and two landscaped rooftop terraces with seating and Midtown skyline views, plus dedicated bicycle storage. The mix leans toward wellness and outdoor space — a deliberate fit for the building's tranquil, Gramercy-inspired design.
The location supplies the rest. Gramercy Park's gated green is steps away, with Madison Square Park, Union Square, and the Flatiron dining-and-retail districts all within an easy walk. The 6 train at 23rd Street and the broader downtown transit network put the rest of the city within a short ride, and the School of Visual Arts and the neighborhood's cafés and restaurants are immediately at hand. It is a calm, residential position with full convenience.
Ownership and what buyers should know
As a condominium, 250 East 21st Street offers what the neighborhood's older co-ops cannot. Financing is not subject to co-op-style caps; there is no admissions board, so a purchase clears a condominium's lighter right-of-first-refusal rather than a board package and interview; and pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investor purchases are customary. Subletting and resale are materially freer than at a cooperative. For buyers who want a design-forward Gramercy home — or a flexible pied-à-terre — without a co-op board, the building is purpose-built for it.
Pricing spans a wide band given the studio-to-four-bedroom mix, with the larger, higher, and outdoor-space homes commanding the top of the range. Comparable analysis belongs against the newest condominium inventory around Gramercy. The residences were offered under a condominium plan accepted for filing by the New York State Attorney General; we help buyers read the plan, benchmark the pricing, and structure the deal.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00901-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

What to know if you’re selling
The architecture and the amenity package are the marketing core. The limestone-and-mansard envelope, the yoga garden, and the dual rooftop terraces are durable differentiators against both the older co-ops nearby and plainer glass condominiums. Benchmark to new-construction Gramercy condominiums, and lean on the building's broad unit range, which widens the buyer pool. Closing mechanics are condominium-standard — a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board process — a faster, more predictable path that itself appeals to the flexibility-minded buyer this building attracts. As a recent, design-driven building with limited resale supply, a well-positioned home benefits from scarcity.

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.
