The Upper East Side has always been defined by tasteful opulence and affluent living. Families like the Astors and Rockefellers bequeathed a legacy that has made the Upper East Side the most consistently iconic neighborhood in Manhattan, and perhaps the world.
However, with the development of the Second Avenue subway line, the vibe is slowly changing as developers, investors and potential homeowners are flocking to be part of a new phase in real estate history. It is almost guaranteed that the value of properties will escalate with the new conveniences of transportation in the area.
And while Second Avenue transforms, the western portion of the UES is experiencing a renaissance of its own, with developer Harry Macklowe’s highly anticipated 737 Park Avenue and 150 East 72 Street. Specifically, 737 Park Avenue features apartments “reaching 4,500 to 6,200-square-feet with prices between $16 million and $27 million.” The residences at 737 Park Avenue have been graciously transformed, offering a modern design approach rarely seen within luxury apartments on the Upper East Side, along with amenities that will make modern living much more attainable while paying homage to the neighborhood’s architectural past.
