Wellington Tower is one of the most complete full-service condominiums in Yorkville. Where much of the neighborhood's inventory sits in smaller pre-war and post-war walk-ups and mid-rise co-ops, 350 East 82nd Street offers the full amenity stack — a 24-hour doorman, an indoor pool, a fitness center, an on-site garage, and a live-in resident manager — inside a condominium ownership structure. That combination is scarce east of Third Avenue, and it is the building's defining commercial advantage.
The building matters because it resolves the two frictions that most often frustrate Upper East Side buyers. First, it is a condominium, not a co-op: purchase approval is a straightforward application rather than a co-op board interview, financing runs to roughly 90 percent for qualified buyers, and the declaration permits pied-à-terre use, subletting, and investment ownership that a comparable Yorkville co-op would restrict. Second, it delivers hotel-grade services and recreation — the indoor pool in particular — that are rare in the surrounding blocks. For a buyer who wants Yorkville's value and quiet residential character but is unwilling to give up flexibility or amenities, Wellington Tower is one of a short list of buildings that answers both requirements.
Its location is Yorkville proper: East 82nd Street between First and Second Avenues, a few blocks from the Second Avenue subway at 86th Street, Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade to the east, and the museum-corridor stretch of the Upper East Side to the west. This is a neighborhood that trades at a meaningful discount per square foot to the Fifth and Park Avenue spine while offering comparable safety, schools, and daily convenience — the reason Yorkville has become one of the most active value corridors on the East Side.
Building operations
Wellington Tower operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, and an on-site staff supporting the pool, fitness, and garage operations. The amenity depth means common charges carry a real service load — buyers should model the full monthly cost (common charges plus property taxes plus utilities) rather than anchoring on common charges alone, since the staffing and the pool are what the charges are buying.
As a condominium formed by conversion of a 1990s rental building, the property carries the ordinary diligence profile of a building of its era and structure: buyers should review the offering plan, current house rules, recent financial statements, the reserve study, and board meeting minutes during due diligence. The building's amenity infrastructure — the pool and mechanical systems in particular — is a capital item to understand at the reserve level. The Roebling Research Library maintains the offering plan, current house rules, recent financials, and board minutes for this building for client review.
Architecture
Wellington Tower was built in the late 1990s as a rental tower and converted to condominium ownership in the mid-2000s. It rises 18 stories in limestone, granite, and brick — a masonry palette chosen to sit comfortably within a traditional Yorkville block rather than to announce itself. The result is a building that reads as contemporary but restrained, without the glass-curtainwall posture of the newer towers further west and downtown.
The interior program is where the building distinguishes itself. Apartments run from studios through larger family layouts, with the upper floors and penthouse levels carrying the building's best light and views — northern and eastern exposures reach toward the East River, while higher floors clear the surrounding low-rise streetscape. Unit interiors reflect the building's conversion vintage; many have been individually renovated in the years since, so condition and finish level vary apartment to apartment, and pricing tracks accordingly.
The amenity floor plan is unusually deep for the neighborhood. The indoor swimming pool with sauna and steam room, the fitness center, the residents' lounge and library, the children's playroom, the screening room, and the wine cellar together give the building a recreational and social infrastructure that most Yorkville buildings cannot match. The on-site attended garage and the common roof deck round out a package that is closer to a Midtown luxury tower than to a typical Upper East Side mid-rise.

Recent sales
Wellington Tower trades as a full-service Yorkville condominium, and its pricing is best understood on a price-per-square-foot basis against the neighborhood's other doorman condominiums rather than against the Fifth and Park Avenue spine. The building's value proposition is consistent: condominium flexibility and a deep amenity package at Yorkville pricing, which typically sits below the museum-corridor blocks to the west.
Pricing within the building is heterogeneous. Floor level, exposure (river-facing eastern and northern units command a premium), line, and — importantly — the individual renovation condition of each apartment all drive meaningful variation in achieved price per square foot. Studios and one-bedrooms anchor the entry point; larger combined and upper-floor units set the top of the building's range. Because the condition spread is wide in a converted building of this vintage, comparable analysis has to be done at the apartment level, not the building average. General market conditions — interest rates, inventory, and the pace of the broader Upper East Side condominium market — apply as they do across the corridor.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,297/sf (floor-adjusted) across 4 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 0.0% from the last ask.

What to know if you’re buying
Condominium flexibility is the core benefit. Purchase is by application rather than co-op board interview; financing runs to roughly 90 percent for qualified buyers; and pied-à-terre use, subletting, and investment ownership are permitted under the declaration. For buyers who want an East Side address without co-op restrictions, this is the reason to look here. Confirm current house rules at offer stage.
Amenities are the second benefit — and a cost. The indoor pool, fitness center, and full service package are rare in Yorkville and are what the common charges support. Model the full monthly carry (common charges + property taxes + utilities) rather than common charges in isolation.
Condition varies unit to unit. As a converted late-1990s building, apartments range from original to fully renovated. Inspect in person and price the condition — the building average is not a reliable guide to any individual apartment.
Do standard condominium diligence. Review the offering plan, current house rules, recent financial statements, the reserve study, and board minutes. Pay particular attention to the reserve position given the building's amenity infrastructure.
Mind the tax thresholds. For larger units, run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator to check whether a cliff threshold applies.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with flexibility and amenities. The building's condominium structure and deep amenity package are its two strongest selling points in a neighborhood where both are scarce. The marketing story is Yorkville value plus full service plus condominium freedom.
Price to condition and exposure. Because achieved prices vary widely by renovation level, floor, and exposure, pricing has to be set against the closest true comparables — same line, similar condition, similar view — not the building average.
Reach the value buyer. Wellington Tower's natural buyer is trading off the higher price per square foot of the museum-corridor blocks for Yorkville value and amenities. Marketing should target that comparison directly.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. Condominium sales typically close in roughly 30–45 days from contract, materially faster than a co-op.

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.
