Carter’s Review

"For a generation or so, some civic activists in the Sutton Place neighborhood fought fiercely to block a project known as Bridgemarket that would have restored the enclosed Gustavino tile vaults of the Queensborough Bridge on the east side of First Avenue at 59th Street, directly across from this handsome pre-war apartment building.

The civic activists opposing the project arguing that it would bring too much traffic to the area and incredibly their argument won over the common-sense reality that the bridge was already one of the largest generators of traffic in the city and this project was considerably more elegant in style than many of the other retail uses in the immediately vicinity."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "perfectly positioned" residence offers "the best of both worlds" with bustling city energy to one side and "serene" residential charm to the other. The "well-maintained" building benefits from its "prime location" that seamlessly bridges the urban-residential divide.
