Carter's Review

This attractive, 17-story, building was erected in 1962 and renovated in 1995 and has 198 rental apartments.

The façade of this beige-brick, mid-block building is modulated with red-brick banding at its center and is very similar to the 16-story building across the street at 333 East 34th Street.

It has a concierge, a one-story red-brick base with a polished pink granite entrance surround, a canopied entrance, a roof deck, a garage, and discrete air-conditioners. It has no sidewalk landscaping, no balconies and no health club.

This area was significantly upgraded with the development of numerous luxury high-rise towers near the Manhattan entrance to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel a couple of blocks to the north beginning in the late 1980s and the renaissance of the Madison Square Park/Flatiron District to the west and south.

There is good cross-town bus service on 34th Street although this location is not close to a subway. The Murray Hill and Midtown South districts are not too far away.
