Overview of The Chatham at 181 East 65th Street

The Chatham is a luxury condominium developed by Related and designed by Robert A. M. Stern, the dean of the Yale School of Architecture. The design of the 34-story Chatham displays all of Stern’s virtuoso architectural skills.

Inside, the 94 apartments feature classic layouts with fine finishes throughout, including solid wood doors, cherry wood floors and – most rare of all in post-war construction – plaster walls. Modern kitchens have premium appliances and glass and ash-blond cabinets imported from France. High-efficiency windows were imported from the Netherlands and bathrooms have marble floors and walls and topnotch fixtures. Several units have balconies or terraces.

The Chatham’s impressive amenities include an on-premise garage, storage and bike rooms, and state-of-the-art fitness room and spa. Its address at 181 East 65th Street puts it in excellent proximity to Central Park, restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. Pets are welcome.

Carter’s Review

"The Chatham at 181 East 65th Street on the northwest corner at Third Avenue is a very handsome, red-brick, condominium apartment building on the former site of the Sign of the Dove Restaurant that for several decades was one of the most elegant and expensive on the Upper East Side.

The 34-story tower, which was completed in 2000, was designed by Robert A. M. Stern, a leading Post-Modem architect who is dean of the Yale School of Architecture and the author of several very major volumes on the history of New York's architecture over the last century or so."

Very nice, many over-priced apartments.
Related commissioned Robert A.M. Stern, the then new dean of the Yale School of Architecture and one of America's preeminent architects, to design its first new-construction luxury condominium development in New York City: The Chatham at 181 East 65th Street, the former site of the renowned Sign of the Dove restaurant.

The Chatham's limestone base with a Georgian-inspired brick facade and stone accents were intented to harmonize with the classic and elegant architecture of the Upper East Side, in the tradition of the best of New York's grand apartment buildings, marrying convenience and charm in a seamless package. It worked.

This marks Related's third development with Stem as architect, and Stem's first condominium tower in the United States.
