303 East 33rd Street is a 12-story condominium completed in 2009, developed by Toll Brothers City Living with The Kibel Companies and designed by Perkins Eastman. It brought full-amenity, new-construction condominium product to a Kips Bay block long defined by older and smaller-scale buildings, and it did so with a sustainability credential that was still uncommon for residential towers of its era: it was built to LEED Gold, among the first such buildings in the neighborhood.
With roughly 129 residences, the building is positioned squarely at buyers who want contemporary finishes, modern mechanical systems, and a real amenity package without taking on a co-op board. For a neighborhood where much of the stock is older and frequently co-op, that combination — new construction, condominium flexibility, and a green-building pedigree — is the building's calling card.
For buyers, the appeal is direct: a turn-key condominium with the financing latitude, ownership flexibility, and resale liquidity the format provides, a short walk from Murray Hill, Gramercy, and the East River medical and academic corridor.
Building operations
303 East 33rd Street operates as a condominium with full-time doorman and concierge service and a live-in superintendent. As a condominium, it offers what the neighborhood's co-ops structurally 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, with subletting and resale materially freer than at a cooperative. The common charges, the precise sublet and pet rules, and the building's current operating posture are confirmed against the offering plan and the managing agent during due diligence.
Recent sales
303 East 33rd Street prices in the new-construction Kips Bay condominium tier, and value is read on a price-per-square-foot basis against the newest condominium inventory in the area rather than against the older co-ops nearby. The larger and higher-floor homes command the top of the building's range; the lower and interior lines anchor the entry tier. Floor, exposure, line, and finish state are the decisive variables, and the LEED Gold construction and full amenity package support pricing relative to plainer contemporaries. Capture the apartment-level specifics — square footage, exposure, common charges, and condition — and benchmark to the right comparable set; we help buyers and sellers do exactly that.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00939-7501) 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
The new-construction-plus-flexibility case is the core. A 2009 LEED Gold condominium with a full amenity program offers contemporary finishes, efficient systems, and condominium ownership latitude in a neighborhood where much of the stock is older.
Condominium flexibility is real. No board package or interview — a right-of-first-refusal rather than admissions; financing is not co-op-capped; pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investor use are customary. Confirm the current rules against the offering plan.
Floor, exposure, and finish drive value. Higher floors capture the light and the views; price each apartment on its square footage, line, and condition.
Model the full carry. Run common charges plus property taxes plus utilities and insurance carefully; the LEED Gold envelope is a point in the building's favor on operating economics.

What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the LEED Gold pedigree and the amenities. The green-building credential, the full amenity program, and the new-construction finishes are durable differentiators against both the older co-ops nearby and plainer glass condominiums.
Benchmark to new-construction Kips Bay and Murray Hill condominiums — not the older co-op stock — and position each apartment on its square footage, floor, exposure, and condition.
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.
