Overview of Eastlight at 501 Third Avenue

Eastlight is a 34 story condominium at the corner of Third Avenue and East 34th Street, straddling the Kips Bay and Murray Hill neighborhoods. Designed by CetraRuddy Architects and developed by China Overseas America, the building features a distinctive cantilevered design wrapped in sound attenuated floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of the Chrysler Building, the East River, and the Midtown skyline. Units range from studios (starting at 462 square feet) to two bedrooms, with some layouts including flexible spaces that can serve as home offices.

Residences share a consistent material palette: 7 inch wide white oak flooring, custom oak cabinetry, and white marble countertops with grey veining in the kitchens. All units come with integrated Miele appliances, in-unit Bosch washer/dryers, and Kohler fixtures in a titanium finish. Bathrooms are finished with honed Dream White marble walls and Cinderella Grey marble floors, with primary baths featuring 60 inch Kohler soaking tubs. Ceiling heights are typically 9 feet, though some units reach 8.5 feet or higher, and select corner units boast 10 foot ceilings. Windows come pre-wired for electronic shades, and certain units include 18 inch wine refrigerators.

The amenity suite occupies the 34th floor and includes a fitness center with a yoga studio, a residents lounge with kitchen, a billiards room, a private dining room, and an outdoor rooftop terrace equipped with grills. The building provides a full time doorman, an on-site resident manager, a bike room, and a laundry room. At the time of initial sales, the sponsor offered incentives including two years of common charges and complimentary storage with one bedroom purchases.

The location sits two blocks from both Trader Joe's and the 6 train, with convenient access to Grand Central, the Morgan Library & Museum, and the NYU campus. The surrounding area includes Fairway, the Kips Bay AMC theater, and the restaurant scenes of NoMad and Murray Hill. The building's position provides relatively easy access to airports while maintaining a central Manhattan address just south of Midtown.
