A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Elodie 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.
Elodie, at 439 East 77th Street, is a ground-up boutique condominium on a quiet interior block of Lenox Hill — exactly the kind of new product that almost never appears between First and York Avenues, where the stock runs to pre-war walk-ups, post-war rentals, and older co-ops. Developed by Grand Cru Real Estate, a venture of Salomon Cojab's Visabe Corp. and Jack Ezra Cattan's Urban Spring Capital, and designed by ARC Architecture + Design Studio, it is a seven-story building of sixteen condominium homes, anchored by two private townhouses and a penthouse.
The building is small and deliberate. At roughly 1,800 square feet on average, with layouts running from one- to four-bedroom homes, it is sized for buyers who want new construction and condominium flexibility without the scale and overhead of a large tower. The two townhouses and the 3,600-square-foot penthouse give the building a top-of-house identity that boutique projects often lack, and a landscaped rear yard and on-site parking add amenities that are genuinely scarce on a mid-block Lenox Hill site.
For a buyer, the case is condominium ownership — financing latitude, flexible use, a light closing process — in new construction, on a calm residential block close to the Second Avenue Q at 72nd Street and the full Lenox Hill medical, retail, and dining fabric.
Architecture and residences
Elodie is a contemporary boutique building in a restrained masonry idiom, scaled to its interior-block setting — seven stories, roughly 74 feet, with private outdoor space woven through the design via terraces and balconies and a landscaped rear yard at the base. The architecture is in service to the homes: light, proportion, and outdoor access rather than a statement façade.
The residences run from one- to four-bedroom layouts across the sixteen condominium homes, complemented by two private townhouses at the base and a 3,600-square-foot penthouse at the crown. New construction means contemporary ceiling heights, modern mechanical and air systems, high-specification kitchens and baths, and the efficient, light-filled proportions older Lenox Hill stock cannot match. Two enclosed parking spaces and the pet-friendly policy round out a program built for full-time residents.
Ownership and what buyers should know
As a new condominium, Elodie offers the structural advantages its co-op and rental neighbors cannot. Financing is flexible — condominiums impose none of the financing caps common at Upper East Side co-ops. There is no board admissions process — a purchase clears through a lighter right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board package and interview. Pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investment purchases are customary, and resale and subletting are materially freer than at the surrounding cooperatives. The building is pet-friendly. For a buyer who wants new construction and ownership flexibility on a quiet Lenox Hill block, that combination is the building's core case.
The residences are offered under a condominium plan accepted for filing by the New York State Attorney General. Common-charge and tax projections, finish selections, and closing mechanics follow that plan and the construction timeline; we help buyers read it, benchmark the pricing against the limited new-condo set nearby, and structure the deal.

Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a small new-development condominium, so a purchase is a new-construction transaction. The range of product is the distinguishing feature: one- through four-bedroom homes, two private townhouses, and a penthouse, all in a single boutique building — there is a home type here for the first-time condo buyer and the trophy buyer alike. Private outdoor space, parking, and a pet-friendly policy add practical value on an interior block.
Buyers should weigh floor, exposure, and outdoor space, and review the offering plan's common-charge and tax projections, which in new construction set the long-run carrying cost. With only sixteen homes plus the townhouses and penthouse, inventory is thin and each layout is distinct — scarcity that rewards moving decisively on the right home.
What to know if you’re selling
The condominium structure and new construction are the marketing core. New homes with private outdoor space, parking, and contemporary systems distinguish a resale here from anything in Lenox Hill's older stock, and condominium ownership itself — financing latitude, flexible use, a faster closing path — is a durable draw. The townhouses and penthouse give the building a top-of-house story that supports pricing across the stack.
Benchmark a resale to the limited set of new and recent East Side condominiums rather than to the neighborhood's co-ops, and lead with what is scarce on the block: new construction, private outdoor space, and parking. A resale clears through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board — a faster, more predictable path that is itself a selling point. With so few homes, available inventory will be thin, and a well-positioned resale benefits from the limited supply of comparable product.

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.
