Carter's Review

Erected in 1963, The Pavilion at 500 East 77th Street occupies the full block between 77th and 76th Streets and York Avenue and John Jay Park overlooking the East River.

When it was built, this light-gray brick building had very few post-war neighboring towers.

The building has a driveway and extensive sidewalk landscaping and a large lobby with a doorman and concierge.

It has its own shopping arcade, landscaped roof decks, a 24-hour attended garage, a shuttle bus to transit and shopping, a windowed laundry facility, air-conditioning, ATM on site and a fitness center.

It is four blocks north of Sotheby's, the auction house, on York Avenue and there is cross-town bus service on 79th Street. There are numerous nearby restaurants.

The huge building, which has a central tower, has 843 rental apartments and was designed by Philip Birnbaum & Associates.
