Inside the New Ultra Luxury UES Tower Fit for a Mets Slugger

We are getting our first look inside of a new ultra-luxury condominium tower in Lenox Hill, so opulent that one New York Mets slugger reportedly plans to call it home, and Arched doorways, richly veined marble flooring and filtered light will welcome visitors and residents alike through the entrance of 200 East 75th Street, a 304-foot-tall tower with 18 floors and just 35 multi-million-dollar condominium units, developed by ESJ Group and designed by Beyer Blinder Belle Architects and Planners, located at the corner of Third Avenue.

The high-end residence replaces three low-rise tenement-style apartment buildings, once home to long-time Lenox Hill small businesses, including French restaurant Bistro LeSteak, a fixture of the block since 1996, and Candle Cafe, which both relocated.

“I wanted to create a welcoming jewel box space,” said architect and designer Elizabeth Graziolo of Yellow House Architects, who designed the building’s interior, citing the entry to Paris’s historic, century-old Hôtel de Crillon as her inspiration for the lobby.

Outside, work is nearly complete on the 200 East 75th Street’s limestone, brick and glazed terracotta facade studded with large picture windows, while the ground-level remains ensconced by scaffolding and construction fencing.

Atop the residence sit five full-floor penthouses — including the largest and most

expensive apartment, a 5,300-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-

bathroom mansion in the sky reportedly purchased by Mets’ shortstop Francisco Lindor — that offer sweeping views over the Upper East Side with Midtown’s skyline as a backdrop, with custom interiors and large outdoor terraces.

All of the homes feature large living and dining spaces, with bleached oak and marble finishes, while Yellow House Architects curated the kitchens, inspired by its experience designing for private chefs.

The apartments’ primary bathrooms, with free-standing bathtubs in an arched alcove, provide a space to indulge in comfort and escape from the busy city streets below.

The opulent building also features shared amenities, including a rooftop terrace with lush, green plantings and small trees next to lounge chairs — perfect for sipping champagne while taking in the sunset — and a parlor with French oak-paneled walls that open onto a landscaped garden with an outdoor fireplace.

“I wanted to create a welcoming ambiance but also modern and elevated,” Graziolo described, drawing upon New York City’s exclusive members’ clubs for inspiration.

Other amenities include a multi-sport simulator room, where residents can practice golf, hockey, soccer or baseball, a private cinema, a gym with a yoga room, a sauna, a music room and a children’s playroom, while storage lockers in the cellar of 200 East 75th Street are priced at $24,000 for 18 square feet, up to $80,000 for 59 square feet.

The apartments range in price from $3.275 million on the lower end for unit 4C with two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms at a modest 1,491 square feet, up to Lindor’s sprawling future home, which features a 1,009 square-foot terrace and $22.95 million price tag, according to the condominium offering plan filed with the New York State attorney General’s Office, but reportedly sold for $20 million.

That’s still a bargain compared to the $37.5 million, 7,206-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom penthouse deluxe in the neighboring 255 East 77th Street.
