The 10-story, pre-war building at 142 East 49th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues is being converted to co-operative apartments with condominium-style rules.
The beige-brick building has 44 apartments.
The building has a one-step-up, canopied entrance with a four-step-vestibule and a nice lobby. The building is just to the east of the Marriott New York East Side Hotel that was formerly the Shelton Hotel, one of the city's most important pre-war landmarks.
The building at 142 East 49th Street has an arched entrance by attractive wall lanterns, stringcourses above the second and 8th floor and a cornice. It is half a block from the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and this is a pleasant residential block.
The mid-block building permits protruding air-conditioners and has no sidewalk landscaping and no garage.
According to Louise Phillips Forbes, senior vice president of Halstead Property Devlopment Marketing, prices for studio apartments start at about $340,000 and at about $530,000 for one-bedroom units. Pets are allowed and occupancy should be ready in three to four months.
