The Upper East Side’s appeal amongst tastemakers is due in no small part to the neighborhood’s proximity to Central Park-and a host of upscale apartment buildings, shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions that reign as some of the best in New York and beyond.
Now more than ever, young families want to cement roots in the area, as new construction and beautifully restored Upper East Side apartments come to market. Leading the trend is 737 Park Avenue, a posh residential building developed by Macklowe Properties.
“The depth and sophistication of residential services here is unparalleled,” says Richard Wallgren, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Macklowe Properties. Handel Architects and Moed de Armas & Shannon Architects is responsible for transforming 737 Park Avenue, which was built in 1940, into modern apartments while maintaining its pre-war splendor.
