The Impala is Michael Graves's New York residential debut — the celebrated Postmodernist's first apartment tower built in the city, completed in 2000 by RFR Holding. Graves designed the lobby, the façade, and the building's signature 15,000-square-foot landscaped courtyard, while H. Thomas O'Hara planned the apartment interiors. The result is one of the corridor's most recognizable buildings: bold multi-paned windows, three-story façade segmentation, geometric patterning, and the bronze impala sculptures — by South African artist Danie de Jager — that give the building its name and stand in the courtyard and above the 76th Street entrance.
That courtyard is the point. In a neighborhood of towers built lot-line to lot-line, the Impala organizes itself around a landscaped garden with a fountain and stream — a genuine, usable private amenity that residents pass through and overlook, and that few other buildings in the corridor can match. Combined with a full amenity package — a spa-grade fitness center, a valet garage, a business center — and a real architect's name on the drawings, the Impala trades as a design-and-amenity building rather than a commodity condo.
For buyers, the Impala offers Graves architecture, the courtyard, and a full-service amenity program with condominium flexibility, at a far-east Lenox Hill address that keeps per-foot pricing below the corridor's prime-avenue new construction.
Architecture and unit composition
Graves's Postmodern tower rises 31 stories in warm masonry, with the façade broken into three-story segments and the bold windows that are the building's calling card. The roughly 180 to 194 residences — sources differ on the exact count — run from studios through three-bedrooms, with some units carrying gas fireplaces, 12-foot ceilings, and private terraces. The lobby is maple-paneled over limestone floors. Because the building is a condominium, apartments are valued on a per-square-foot basis; the offering plan controls on any specific unit's count and dimensions.
Building operations
The Impala runs as a full-service condominium: 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, an on-site parking garage with valet service, a fitness center with sauna, steam room, and spa, a business and conference center, a children's playroom, the landscaped courtyard with fountain, a bike room, private storage, and a common roof deck. In-unit washer/dryers are present in many apartments, and select units carry private terraces. The offering plan, house rules, and financial statements are held in The Roebling Research Library and available to clients during 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.

Recent sales
The Impala's resale market is a design-and-amenity market. Buyers reach it wanting the Graves architecture, the courtyard, and the full amenity package with condominium flexibility, and they weigh that against the far-east location. Turn-key units — especially those with fireplaces, high ceilings, or terraces — command the premium; dated or lower-floor inventory trades closer to the neighborhood average. The courtyard and the spa-grade fitness program are genuine differentiators that support pricing and should anchor the marketing.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01470-7501) and verified listing data.

What to know if you’re buying
The courtyard and amenities are real value — underwrite the carry that supports them. The garden, spa, and valet garage are genuine, but they run through common charges. Run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator on the specific unit.
Condominium flexibility applies. No co-op-style financing cap, pets welcome, and pied-à-terre and sublet use permitted under the declaration. Confirm any transfer fee against the offering plan at contract.
Price to the line and the features. Fireplace lines, high-ceiling units, and terrace apartments carry premiums the building average hides. Use same-line comparables. Run the Buyer Closing Cost Calculator.
Weigh the location honestly. The far-east address is the trade for the pricing — a feature for some buyers, a consideration for others. View the building and the courtyard in person.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with Graves and the courtyard. The architect, the impala sculptures, and the 15,000-square-foot garden are documented, searchable assets that separate this building from the corridor's default towers. Use them.
Sell the amenity package. The spa-grade fitness center, valet garage, and business center are differentiators to buyers comparing against amenity-light stock; market them.
Anchor to the line. Fireplace and terrace lines carry premiums the average obscures. Same-line history — which we maintain — is the right anchor.
