A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The St. Tropez 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.
The St. Tropez is where condominium ownership in Manhattan began. When Marvin Kratter's Countrywide Realty completed the tower at 340 East 64th Street in 1964, the condominium form was so unfamiliar to New York buyers that the building had to explain what it was selling. New York's residential market had been built for decades on two tenures: the rental and the cooperative. The co-op, with its share structure, its board approval, and its proprietary lease, was the default form of ownership for an apartment above 59th Street. The condominium — fee-simple title to real property, recorded by deed, freely financeable and freely transferable — was a legal novelty that most buyers had never encountered. Kratter later remarked that condominiums were "like Chinese money" — people simply didn't understand them. The market's hesitation was real: 159 unsold units were transferred to a subsidiary of Israeli Discount Bank in 1966.
That slow start is now the building's distinction. Every condominium in Manhattan — every supertall on Billionaires' Row, every glass tower on the far West Side, every new-development conversion on Park Avenue — descends from the tenure structure that The St. Tropez introduced. The building is not architecturally famous. It is historically foundational. For a buyer, that history is more than trivia: it means The St. Tropez has offered the full menu of condominium flexibility — deed ownership, liberal financing, minimal purchase friction, permitted investor and pied-à-terre use — for longer than any comparable building in the city.
The daily-life case is straightforward and strong. This is a full-service Lenox Hill tower with a genuine rooftop pool, a valet garage, a fitness center, a playroom, and a live-in manager, at a $/sf that sits well below the Fifth and Park Avenue condo tier. Buyers who want condominium mechanics — no board interview, immediate flexibility, financeable at low down payments — in a large, well-run, amenity-rich building at an accessible price point find The St. Tropez a rational answer.
Architecture and unit composition
Brown & Guenther designed a postwar tower in dark-brown brick — a façade that drew criticism in 1964 for reading as "office-building"-like, at a moment when First Avenue itself was considered a rough address. Both judgments have aged out. The neighborhood is now solidly Lenox Hill, and the building's massing — a 34-story central tower stepping down to a 15-story eastern wing — gives it the setback profile and the rooftop real estate that produced its signature amenity: a 44-foot heated outdoor pool on top of the wing.
The 301 residences run from one-bedrooms through three-bedrooms, with a handful of four-bedroom penthouse combinations at the top. Layouts are flexible — many units convert to add a bedroom or a home office — and the apartments carry the practical postwar package buyers respond to: oversized windows, walk-in closets, in-unit washer/dryer capability, central air, and, on many lines, private terraces or balconies. Higher floors in the tower capture open city, river, and bridge exposures.
The St. Tropez sits firmly in the value tier of full-service Upper East Side condominiums: materially below the trophy corridors, competitive with the postwar and new-construction condo stock across Lenox Hill and Yorkville.
Building operations
The St. Tropez operates as a full-service condominium: 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, and a staffed lobby. The amenity roster is real and used — the rooftop pool, the rooftop terrace, the fitness center, the children's playroom, a library and resident lounge, and a common dining room with a catering kitchen. The valet parking garage sits in an enclosed through-block driveway and is subsidized for unit owners; there is on-site laundry, resident storage, and a bike room in addition to in-unit washer/dryer capability.
Because the building is a condominium rather than a co-op, its governing documents lean toward flexibility, but they are not unlimited. Pets are welcome — dogs and cats both. Subletting is permitted after the first year of ownership and is then unrestricted, subject to a sublet fee of one month's rent and standard lease-package review. Pieds-à-terre and investor purchases are permitted. The one meaningful restriction buyers should note up front: entity and trust purchases are not permitted — units must be held in an individual name. A flat transfer fee to the condominium applies at closing; there is no percentage-based flip tax on record. Buyers should confirm the current fee schedule and any variable financial figures against the building's most recent documents at offer stage.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
Recorded sales at The St. Tropez auto-populate from the building's tax lot and reflect a broad, liquid transaction history — this is one of the most actively traded large condominiums on the Upper East Side, precisely because condominium mechanics make units easy to buy, finance, and resell. Pricing is best read at the line and floor level: the tower's higher floors and terraced lines command premiums over the lower-floor and wing inventory, and view exposure (open city, river, and bridge sight lines) is the primary driver of variation.
The building trades on square footage, as condominiums do. The practical implication for buyers and sellers is that comparable analysis here is a $/sf exercise — normalize for floor, exposure, terrace, and condition, and the building's pricing is legible. The value-tier position is durable: The St. Tropez consistently prices below the Fifth/Park trophy corridor while offering a fuller amenity package than most co-ops at the same price.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,204/sf (floor-adjusted) across 7 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 4.3% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Condominium flexibility is the core of the story. Deed ownership, no board interview, liberal financing (historically to roughly 90% — confirm the current cap at offer stage), permitted pied-à-terre and investor use, and unrestricted subletting after year one. This is the flexibility that co-ops across the neighborhood cannot offer.
Note the entity/trust restriction. Unlike many condominiums, The St. Tropez does not permit purchases in an entity or trust name. Buyers planning to hold through an LLC or trust for estate or privacy reasons should factor this in early.
Price on square footage. Normalize comps for floor, exposure, terrace, and condition. The pool-wing units, the terraced lines, and the high-floor tower exposures each price differently.
The amenity package is a real value driver. A rooftop pool and a valet garage in a full-service Lenox Hill condominium at this $/sf is uncommon. Model the amenity value against the common charges.
Run the carry carefully. Model common charges, property taxes, parking, and utilities as a full monthly figure, and confirm any variable line against current building financials.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the flexibility and the amenities. The condominium tenure, the low-friction purchase process, the rooftop pool, and the garage are the building's marketing strengths — they widen the buyer pool to investors, second-home buyers, and financed purchasers who cannot clear co-op boards elsewhere.
Price at the line. Buyers and their agents will comp on $/sf; a seller who prices to the correct floor-and-exposure cohort, rather than to the building average, transacts faster.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing is typical, with no board interview to schedule.

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.
