The Saratoga is, per public records, "one of the most handsome Post-Modern apartment buildings in the city" — and a deliberate Beyer Blinder Belle gesture at the seam of postmodern and prewar Carnegie Hill traditions.
The defining note is the Beyer Blinder Belle postmodern composition — red brick over a two-story rusticated limestone base, a large circular window above the entrance, and a distinctive semicircular driveway — which the A.I.A. Guide to New York (Willensky & White, 4th ed., Three Rivers Press, 2000) calls "a restrained midblock handshake between the traditions of the 1920s and those of the Post modern," its "French-doored balconettes are stylishly outfitted with flat metal railings." That restraint extends to a boutique 18-unit configuration of two apartments per floor across fifteen stories — the smallest unit count of any Carnegie Hill condominium and one of the smallest on the Upper East Side. Adding to the appeal is a plaza adjacency that faces the Park Regis (50 East 89th) plaza and the rear garden of 1088 Park Avenue, drawing exceptional mid-block light and air.
