Ahead of The Treadwell’s anticipated spring 2024 delivery, the Upper East Side condominium has revealed two model units designed by Billy Cotton, an acclaimed interior designer best known for his work on the homes of artists like Cindy Sherman and Mirabelle Marden. The model homes come hot on the heels of Cotton’s collaboration with West Elm, but he drew inspiration for The Treadwell from 1930s French interiors. The furnishings were envisioned as modern heirlooms that can evolve over time.

Like all homes at The Treadwell, the model units feature oversized windows, high ceilings, European white oak floors, kitchens with cerused oak cabinetry and Miele appliances, and spa-like primary baths. Along with access to a gracious collection of indoor/outdoor wellness and social amenities, residents will receive complimentary one-year memberships to concierge medicine group Sollis Health and hospitality firm Omacasa.

The Treadwell is a 28-story condominium situated at 249 East 62nd Street, just beyond the borders of the Treadwell Farms Historic District on the Upper East Side. Designed with an Art Deco-inspired aesthetic by INC Architecture & Design in collaboration with SLCE, the design pays homage to the cadence of the nearby pre-war architecture, offering impressive height and private terraces for residents to relish stunning views of the Manhattan skyline and river.
Sales commenced late last year, and occupancy is projected for Spring 2024. Overall prices range from $1 million to $4.5 million, with current availabilities averaging just over $2,100 per square foot—significantly below the $2,530 average asking price for new development condos in Manhattan.
In addition to complimentary one-year memberships to concierge medicine group Sollis Health and hospitality experience group Omacasa, residents at The Treadwell have access to a range of wellness and social amenities, such as a double-height attended lobby, a fitness center with both indoor and outdoor meditation areas, sauna and steam room facilities, a Club Lounge equipped with a dining table, catering kitchen, and designated "Zoom rooms," a children's playroom and a courtyard with a grilling station and dining areas.
