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.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
