Cannon Point South is the southern half of a near-identical Resnick/Green pair with Cannon Point North (25 Sutton Place South, 1959). Its signature gesture is the cantilever over the FDR Drive, which gives most apartments unobstructed East River exposures running south toward the United Nations and Queensboro Bridge. For all its size, the building cultivates a boutique-of-the-postwar-large-buildings shareholder community — 277-278 units with white-glove staffing calibrated to that scale. The address carries a deep Cannon Point name and shot-tower site provenance as well: the "Cannon Point" name traces to fortifications erected on the site to ward off Manhattan's invasion, and the site held a shot tower until 1921, per the building's original marketing brochure.
A famous photograph of a high-floor resident fishing out his window into the East River below remains the building's enduring image.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01371-0014) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
