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.

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.

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.
