Overview of 60 Sutton Place South

With its unique architectural features, waterfront views, and full suite of amenities, 60 Sutton Place South offers residents an elegant, convenient lifestyle in one of New York’s most coveted neighborhoods.

Designed by Arthur Wieser and built by the Paul Tishman Company, 60 Sutton Place South is a 19-story red-brick cooperative, completed in 1952 and converted in 1955. Located on the eastern half of a prime block bordered by Sutton Place South, First Avenue, and 53rd and 54th Streets, this two-building complex was thoughtfully designed to maximize waterfront and park views.

Residents enjoy a wealth of amenities, including a full-time doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, fitness center, and laundry facilities. The building also offers an on-site garage, a large garden courtyard between the north and south towers, and a spacious driveway with a center island that features a modern sculpture. Pets and pieds-à-terre are welcome, catering to diverse resident needs.

Architecturally, Wieser’s design stands out for its angled balconies that maximize river views, providing even rear-facing apartments with diagonal sightlines towards the East River. The two towers are joined by a glass-enclosed lobby. The white concrete slabs of the balcony floors contrast elegantly against the red-brick façade, creating strong visual accents and giving the building a handsome, well-proportioned appearance.

In contrast to nearby buildings with similar designs, 60 Sutton Place South achieves a greater sense of openness and sophistication, solidifying its status as one of the more visually successful structures in the area.

Architectural historians Robert A. M. Stern, Thomas Mellins, and David Fishman praised Wieser's innovative approach in their book New York 1960, highlighting how Wieser broke up the building’s structure with angled walls, giving living rooms and bedrooms unique, five-sided layouts oriented towards the river—a design inspired by the Darien Apartments in Chicago.

Carter’s Review

"This handsome, red-brick, two-building complex at 60 Sutton Place South occupies most of the eastern half of the block bounded by Sutton Place South, First Avenue and 53rd and 54th Streets.  It was designed to maximize its waterfront and park views. 

Everyone would like great waterfront or park views, but it's not enough normally to just live in a building fronting on a waterfront or a park as most such properties have many apartments without views. "

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "iconic" 1952 Arthur Wieser-designed building offers "elegant living along the East River" with "breathtaking views" from private terraces. The "impeccably maintained" full-service cooperative boasts a "stunning" central garden with "geometric landscaping," while a "gracious" glass-enclosed lobby featuring imported Italian art sets the tone. "Every convenience imaginable" including 24/7 doorman, valet, and concierge service, plus an on-site health club and garage. The "prime" Sutton Place location puts you "steps away" from luxury shopping, international dining, and multiple transportation options, making it "a wonderful place to call home."
