The Plan: 200 East 75th Street Combines Old-World Charm With Modern Luxury Living

The condominiums at 200 East 75th

Street will soon welcome residents home

to units that offer a warm and luxurious

vibe, almost like what you’d find stepping

into an Italian villa. What else would you

expect when the kitchen marble comes

from the same quarry as Michelangelo’s

“David”?

Slated for completion by the end of the

summer — assuming everything stays

on track — the 18-story, 36-unit condo-

minium is being developed by EJS Group

and, at the time of publication, was 81 per-

cent sold.

From the outside, homeowners are

greeted by a limestone, brick and glazed

terracotta facade complemented by arch-

ing windows, jewel boxes and Juliet balco-

nies on some residences.

“We think it really creates something

special, a little bit modernized, but very

much in the context of the traditional

Upper East Side,” said Ted Segal, presi-

dent of EJS. “If you look at the traditional

co-op buildings along Park Avenue, they

are not super tall towers, and they typi-

cally have those handsome brick arrays.

And we wanted to do that, but with the

benefit of delivering this at a much later

point than when those were built, and

implementing those terracotta features

and giving it some additional high-

light that those [older] buildings were

missing.”

ESJ and its collaborators — Beyer

Blinder Belle Architects for the exterior

and Yellow House Architects for the inte-

rior — wanted to create a building that felt

timeless within the Upper East Side neigh-

borhood, but not stuck in the past.

“Something that distinguishes us from

those old-line co-ops, and is a relatively

rare feature across New York real estate, is

we have a porte-cochère ... a motor court

that you can drive in and pull out of, that

can fit two vehicles, and will have a stately

gate when it’s not in use,” Segal said. “That

is an amenity that really resonates with

our buyer pool.”

And the developers are going to want

to do everything they can to make those

potential buyers happy, especially consid-

ering the price tags. Homes range from $3

million to almost $12 million, depend-

ing on the bedroom count, which ranges

from two to four, and if the buyer wants

a penthouse.

The best part of the units is the full

bathroom in each, which features a

walk-in shower and a deep soaking white

Kohler tub situated under an archway. If

heaven has a bathroom, it looks like this.

Other amenities coming to 200 East

75th Street include a fully equipped gym

with an attached infrared sauna, two

private club spaces, a courtyard garden,

a rooftop terrace with grilling stations,

a children’s playroom, a teen hangout

lounge and a recording studio for music

and podcasts, as well as a multi-sport sim-

ulator room.

“We wanted to deliver a building that

was for New Yorkers, that felt like it was

a fixture in the community,” Segal said.

“There are a lot of people from the neigh-

borhood relocating here and moving from

Downtown to Uptown. We have some

empty-nest buyers as well, and second

home buyers — all of whom, again, are

drawn to the great features of this neigh-

borhood and the boutique nature of the

building.”
