In the latest testament to the allure of the Second Avenue subway, closings for The Kent, a 30-story condominium one block away from the 96th Street stop, have begun in earnest. There have been no drastic departures from the asking prices, which have come in at an average of $2,049 per square foot. According to CityRealty data, this puts it well above the Yorkville condo average of $1,686 per square foot. The convenience and cleanliness of New York’s most-anticipated transportation is a factor that cannot be ignored.

The biggest deal recorded thus far is a three-bedroom that sold over a hair over the asking price

However, one look at the elegant design by Beyer Blinder Belle shows that The Kent has much more to offer than convenient subway access. Growing families appreciate the proximity to local parks and top private schools, not to mention the apartments’ two- to five-bedroom floor plates. Interiors by Alexandra Champalimaud feature oversized windows, 15’ ceilings, custom millwork and hardware, and a choice of Ebonized or Brushed Oak flooring. Developer Extell's customized finishes extend to the kitchens, which come with a choice of Ivory, Opal, or Onyx color palettes as well as custom cabinetry and integrated Miele appliances.

When The Kent was still in development, a sound lounge designed by Lenny Kravitz attracted the most attention for its star power and space for residents to practice music, screen films, and perform. Additional amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center with heated lap pool and sauna, an indoor and outdoor children's playroom, and Garden Salon with landscaped courtyard, billiards table, library, and catering kitchen.

Remaining availabilities start at $3.671M for three-bedrooms, $6.199M for four-bedrooms, $8.53M for five-bedrooms, and $12.9M for a four-bedroom penthouse with a private terrace. Details about this spring’s affordable lottery are not available, but we can imagine that the demand for beautiful homes in a convenient location with starting prices under $400K was in the stratosphere.
