Carter's Review

The 37-story tower at Two Sutton Place North on the northwest corner of York Avenue and 60^th Street is developer Sheldon Solow’s fourth, handsome, black-glass, residential monolith in Manhattan.

The others are One Sutton Place North, which is just to the west of this tower, 265 East 66^th Street and One East River Place.

This building, which is also known as 1113 York Avenue, has 209 rental units and commands spectacular views of the adjacent Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge and Roosevelt Island Tram.

Its site orientation is east-to-west and it is perpendicular to One Sutton Place North.  It is, however, placed on the south side of the site rather than the north and as a result will interrupt some views of the tram and bridge and the world to the east from the other tower.  If it had been placed on the north side of the site, it would have interrupted fewer such spectacular views from its sister tower.

It was scheduled for completion in 2015.

It was designed by Costas Kondylis & Partners.

Bottom Line

At long last, a very elegant black stalk has blossomed on this very prominent site with its drop-dead vistas of the tram and the great Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge and a lot of amenities including escorted deliveries and windowed elevator lobbies on each floor.

Description

As always, Sheldon Solow delivers a super-slick black star to the city’s pantheon of impressive sheer residential towers.
