Overview of 196 Orchard Street

Located on the cusp of the East Village and the Lower East Side, 196 Orchard Street brings a design-driven collection of studio to four-bedroom condominium residences to the gateway of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhood. The imposing yet contextual design blends classic sensibility with contemporary style. The façade is clad in industrial-inspired casement windows paired with gilded-bronze brick imported from the Costa Brava region of Spain. The hand-laid brick is infused with gold dust and will steadily become more golden over time as it oxidizes in the air.

Residents of 196 Orchard enjoy ceiling heights of approximately 9 to 12 feet in living spaces, white oak wide-plank flooring, custom-designed kitchens with integrated Miele appliances, and luxurious marble baths. Select residences include private outdoor courtyards and terraces of up to 1,634 square feet in size.

Amenities include a 4,300-square-foot landscaped roof deck with a sky lawn, two outdoor kitchens, chef’s tables and cabana seating that takes advantage of skyline and Empire State Building views–all in addition to a full-time doorman, a bike room and private storage. The building’s second and third floors are occupied by a 30,000-square-foot Equinox Fitness Center and spa with a private entrance; residents are entitled to a special discount.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "most luxurious" Lower East Side residence earns raves for its "incredible" staff and "premium" amenities including an in-building Equinox gym with "special resident rates" and a "stunning" rooftop space; the "full-service" building has become a "coveted address" thanks to its "impeccable management" and "upscale atmosphere"
