The Laurel is a 2008 luxury condominium at the corner of First Avenue and 67th Street, developed by the Alexico Group to a Costas Kondylis design in contemporary limestone and glass, and LEED-certified. Its defining feature is the amenity program: roughly 12,000 square feet across two clubs, anchored by a 50-foot lap pool, resistance and current pools, a full spa-grade fitness suite, a screening room, a private dining room with catering kitchen, a game room, a double-height lounge, a library, and a wine bar. In the Lenox Hill condominium tier, that amenity depth is a genuine differentiator and the building's central value proposition.
The building's second draw is condominium flexibility with a light transactional touch. Apartments transact freely, financing is not capped by a co-op board, and the building runs a right-of-first-refusal process with no board interview — a materially more permissive posture than the corridor's cooperative inventory, and a specific reason investor, pied-à-terre, and entity buyers gravitate here.
The honest trade is transit. The Laurel sits well east on 67th Street, and the nearest subway is a walk west — the 6 at 68th Street and the F/Q at Lexington and 63rd. Buyers who value the light, the river-side quiet opposite St. Catherine's Park, and the amenity package read the location as a feature; buyers who prioritize a short subway walk weigh it.
Architecture and unit composition
The roughly 128 residences run from studios through four-bedroom layouts across the tower's approximately 31 stories, with in-unit washer/dryers and a contemporary new-development finish package. Most lines do not carry private balconies; the design prioritizes floor-to-ceiling glass and open exposures over outdoor space, with upper floors capturing river and city sight lines.
Kondylis's limestone-and-glass exterior gives the building a clean contemporary presence on the First Avenue frontage, and the LEED certification reflects the era's move toward higher-performance new construction.
Building operations
The Laurel operates as a full-service luxury condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge and a live-in resident manager. The two-club amenity suite — the Trophy Club fitness and aquatics program and the Laurel Club social spaces — is the operational centerpiece, supported by an on-site parking garage, a bike room, and private storage.
Two operating notes matter for diligence. First, the building's original 421-a tax abatement is expiring or expired heading into 2026, which raises property-tax carrying costs relative to the sellout era; buyers should confirm the current tax bill for the specific unit. Second, common charges reflect the extensive amenity infrastructure. Model the full carry and review the building's financials and reserve position during due diligence.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
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.

The Laurel trades as a full-amenity Lenox Hill condominium. Recent closings have run broadly in the $1,575 per square foot range, with asking prices somewhat higher; the amenity package supports pricing relative to peer buildings that lack a comparable pool and fitness suite. Absolute pricing spans from the lower ranges for smaller units to the mid-single-digit millions for large, high-floor three- and four-bedroom homes.
Pricing is heterogeneous by floor, exposure, and layout, and the tax-abatement burn-off is a live variable in the carry. Comparable analysis should reference recent closings on the specific line and floor, and the current tax bill, rather than a single building-wide average.

What to know if you’re buying
The amenity suite is the draw. A 50-foot lap pool, a spa-grade fitness program, and a full social-club suite across roughly 12,000 square feet are among the deepest amenity offerings in Lenox Hill.
The transaction is permissive. Condominium flexibility, no board interview (right of first refusal only), and pied-à-terre and investor use permitted. Closings are condo-fast.
Confirm the current tax bill. The original 421-a abatement is expiring or expired; property taxes are higher than at sellout. Confirm the specific unit's bill.
Weigh the transit trade. The nearest subway is a walk west; factor that against the location's quiet and the amenity package.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the amenity depth and the flexibility. The two-club program and the no-interview transaction are the building's most marketable features.
Address the tax picture proactively. Buyers will model the abatement burn-off; have the current tax figures ready.
Price at the line and floor. Exposure, floor, and layout drive meaningful variation; reference the specific line's comparables.
