Top 10 Buildings by Bing & Bing
#1 - 2 East 88th Street
2 East 88th Street is a full-service building, but its greatest perk may be its prime location across from Central Park and the Guggenheim Museum. It contains only 13 full-floor apartments, all of which enjoy Central Park views and grand proportions.
#2 - The Alden, 225 Central Park West
Landmarks cooperatives designed by Emery Roth line Central Park West, and The Alden represents one of his collaborations with prolific developer Bing & Bing. Residents arrive to an attended lobby with a beautiful chandelier, and additional amenities include bike storage and a landscaped roof terrace.
#3 - 299 West 12th Street
Designed by Emery Roth and developed by Bing & Bing, 299 West 12th Street boasts a beautiful brick facade and a Tuscan-style water tank enclosure. One of a few prewar condominiums in the West Village, famous residents past and present include Jennifer Aniston and Andy Cohen.
#4 - 1000 Park Avenue
The stately tone and incredible details of the Emery Roth-designed 1000 Park Avenue are set at the handsome building's entrance, where two medieval-style robed figures were reportedly modeled on the Bing brothers of the eponymous development firm. It is in a prime Upper East Side location near Central Park, Museum Mile, and Madison Avenue shopping.
#5 - 2 Horatio Street
In a neighborhood full of beautiful prewar architecture, 2 Horatio Street stands out for its "Aztec Deco" terra cotta details on its handsome red brick facade. It is located on Jackson Square Park and in close proximity to the Whitney Museum, the High Line, and Meatpacking District dining and nightlife.
#6 - 302 West 12th Street
The "sister building" to 299 West 12th Street, 302 West 12th Street boasts a handsome prewar facade as well as recently renovated hallways, elevators, and lobby. Amenities include doorman service and a rooftop garden, but the greatest perk may be its address near Hudson River Park, the High Line, Little Island, and the Whitney Museum.
#7 - Southgate, 424 East 52nd Street
Located in an already tranquil Manhattan enclave, the six-building Southgate complex enjoys extra privacy by virtue of its cul-de-sac. John Lennon's iconic "New York City" photograph was taken on the terrace of a Southgate penthouse.
#8 - 45 Christopher Street
A rare prewar condominium in Greenwich Village, 45 Christopher Street features a stone and brown brick facade as well as an attractively enclosed water tank. The building offers doorman service and a landscaped common terrace, and the greatest perk may be its address near historic, world-renowned restaurants, performance venues, and cultural institutions.
#9 - Eastgate, 225 East 73rd Street
The six buildings of the Eastgate complex share common architectural motifs while retaining their own unique characters. Residents enjoy white-glove service as well as easy access to Central Park, world-famous museums, fine dining, and the Lexington and Second Avenue transportation hubs.
#10 - The Governor, 59 West 12th Street
Located on a tree-lined block in the Gold Coast section of Greenwich Village, 59 West 12th Street is distinguished by its brown brick facade, classical trim, and Art Deco design touches. Past residents include musician Jimi Hendrix and actress Cameron Diaz.
