East Winds is a 31-story post war condominium at 345 East 80th Street, developed by H.J. Kalikow & Co. and designed by Philip Birnbaum, the architect behind notable buildings including One Lincoln Plaza, the Galleria, 1001 Fifth Avenue, and Trump Plaza. Built in 1973 and converted to condominiums in 1990, the building contains 328 apartments and sits prominently on the southwest corner of First Avenue in a landscaped plaza with a two level canopied entrance.
The building offers comprehensive full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, concierge, valet service, and live-in superintendent. Residents enjoy access to a roof deck with panoramic views, an attached garage, bike room, central laundry facilities, and luggage storage. The smoke free building welcomes pets with breed and weight restrictions and features a distinctive beige façade with brown spandrels and numerous five sided balconies that are characteristic of many units.
Apartments typically feature strip hardwood floors, windowed kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and spacious layouts ranging from one to three bedrooms, with some units offering convertible fourth bedroom options. Many units include the building's signature five sided balconies, and washer/dryer installation is permitted with board approval. Higher floor apartments offer glimpses of the East River and open city views, while the building's sponsor sales program provides custom renovation services at cost for buyers.
The location has become increasingly desirable following the opening of the Second Avenue subway, with the building positioned to benefit significantly from improved transit access and the enhanced retail environment along the corridor. The building is zoned for PS290 and offers immediate rental capability, making it attractive for both residents and investors.
