Cladding going up on Citizen360; CityRealty
Over in Yorkville, construction has quietly moved along on a 34-story condominium named Citizen360. Addressed at 360 East 89th Street/ 1711 First Avenue, the building is being developed by Anbau Enterprises and designed by SHoP Architects. Since beginning construction in 2015, workers have fully erected its 398-foot frame and have enclosed much of the structure in a muted brick skin sliced by staggered strips of windows. SHoP, who are also behind the American Copper Buildings, 111 West 57th Street, and 247 Cherry Street, is known for thinking out of the box but have yet to confine themselves to a consistent style. Here, the architects employ a mix of conventional tower-on-podium massing, traditional Upper East Side materials and fenestration with a high-tech flare.

The building anchors the northwest corner of First Avenue and East 89th Street and neighbors Magnum’s condo-conversion 389 E 89 and the elegantly-stacked Leighton House designed by James Stewart Polshek & Associates. Additionally, the Second Avenue Subway opened its first phase last month and the line’s 86th street station is located a short walk away.

While the rarefied blocks of the Upper East Side are typically thought to be west of Lexington Avenue, East 89th Street between First and Third presents a charming row of walk-ups fronted by trees. The low-scaled mid-blocks allow mid-and upper-floor units of Citizen360 to garner views of the East River and peeks of Central Park.
The 83 open residences come in diverse configurations of one- to four-bedroom layouts ranging from 900 to 4,500 square feet in size. Interiors designed by Clodagh are the interior designers who also crafted spaces in Abington House and the Caledonia downtown. All of Citizen360's homes feature floor-to-ceiling windows while still providing plenty of wall space to hang art and family portraits. Units also come complete with central air, washer/dryer, white oak floors and high ceilings. Custom kitchens feature Persian White Pulido Porcelanosa slab countertops and backsplash and an island with a waterfall edge. The three-fixture master bathroom features a Zuma soaking tub/shower combination with Sense by Clodagh 27 fixtures.
