Carter's Review
This 30-story, dark-brown brick tower on the southeast corner of First Avenue and 54th Street has an impressive entrance in a small plaza that is raised a few steps above the sidewalk, an design that is not very popular with urban designers and the physically disabled.
The 229-unit tower was built in 1970 and converted to a condominium in 1987.
It is close to Sutton Place and Beekman Place and its neighborhood has numerous restaurants and convenience stores.
Cross-town buses run a few blocks to both the north and south, but the building is quite far from a subway station. A small park is nearby at Sutton Place and 53rd Street.
The building has a concierge and garage and some good views from upper floors.
