Ruppert Towers at 1601 Third Avenue is a 549 unit condominium built in 1975 on the site of the former Jacob Ruppert Brewery. Designed by Davis, Brody & Associates, the building features the firm's signature Brutalist aesthetic with chamfered corners, staggered floor plans, and vertical window strips. The complex was converted to condominium ownership in 2003 and forms part of a larger three tower development that transformed a 20 acre industrial site in Yorkville. The same architectural firm designed other notable New York complexes including Waterside and Cathedral Parkway Houses, bringing what critics described as a bold, fortress like aesthetic to the city's skyline in the 1970s.
Apartments typically feature parquet hardwood floors, angled layouts that follow the building's chamfered design, and generous closet space with many units offering walk in closets. Many units have been renovated over the years with updated kitchens and bathrooms. The building's height and setback design provide open city views from most apartments, with some higher floor units offering panoramic vistas extending to the George Washington Bridge. A notable feature is that all utilities are included in common charges, encompassing electricity, gas, water, heat, and air conditioning.
The building offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman and concierge, valet service with dry cleaning, a fitness center, roof deck with BBQ grills, laundry facilities, bike room, package room, and an adjacent parking garage. The location is not far from Central Park (four blocks away) and is close to the Q/4/5/6 subway lines, Whole Foods, Target, and the restaurants and shops of the Upper East Side. Cats are permitted but dogs are not allowed in the building.
