Overview
About 170 East End Avenue
The handsome, 14-story, red-brick, Beth Israel Hospital Singer Division building at 170 East End Avenue that overlooked Carl Schurz Park across the avenue and the charming low-rise residential buildings of Henderson Place across 87th Street was demolished in 2005 and construction started on a new 19-story, 110-unit condominium apartment building on the site that extends from 87th to 88th Streets.
The new building has a tower fronting on the avenue and two low-rise wings on the sidestreets with a large garden with a waterfall between them.
The lower two floors of the complex will be faced with limestone and granite and the rest will be faced with limestone-colored pre-cast concrete. The center section of the tower on East Avenue above the entrance will be mostly glass.
Peter P. Marino + Associates is the architect.
The building's unusual facade is quite bold with deeply-inset, multipaned windows, many balconies with glass railings, and a center section facing East End Avenue clad only in glass. Vertically, the north and south wings on the avenue are broken into three sections with different pier arrangements in limestone-colored, pre-cast concrete. The two-story base on either side of the entrance is rusticated limestone.
In 2004, Beth Israel sold this building and two adjacent apartment buildings on 88th Street to Skyline Developers LLC, an affiliate of Garden Homes Development, which announced its intention to "create world-class, family-oriented luxury condominiums featuring spectacular views overlooking Carl Schurz, Gracie Mansion and the East River." The sales price was reported to be about $700 a buildable square foot, one of the highest on record at that time for a residential project.
