Situated in Manhattan’s coveted Carnegie Hill neighborhood on the Upper East Side, 180 East 88th Street is a striking condominium designed by Joe McMillan’s DDG that offers expansive residences showcasing unprecedented skyline and Central Park views complemented by luxurious amenities.

As the tallest residential building north of 72nd Street on Manhattan’s storied Upper East Side, 180 East 88th Street makes a striking statement against the skyline. Inspired by the boom in high-rise masonry construction in New York in the early 20th century, the design of the building pays homage to the lost art of traditional craftsmanship while maintaining a modern aesthetic. The property’s facade features over 600,000 handmade bricks from master brickworks Petersen Tegl in Denmark. These distinctive bricks, which include the elegant, elongated Kolumba style, possess a thoroughly unique texture and color palette that reflect their handmade quality. The building is also punctuated by statement arches at its middle and crown.

180 East 88th Street features 47 graciously appointed half- and full-floor residences ranging from lofts to five-bedroom homes, and a gracious triplex penthouse. With a modern and thoughtful interior aesthetic, the residences feature distinguished accents such as formal elliptical entry galleries, custom wainscoting, coved ceilings, wide plank Austrian white oak flooring and picture rails for displaying art. Soaring 14- to 28-foot ceilings and nine-foot windows bathe the homes in abundant natural light. Meticulously crafted kitchens feature white lacquer cabinetry custom designed by Molteni & C Dada for DDG, honed statuario marble slab countertops and backsplash with brass inlays, wine refrigerators in every home, top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliance packages, stone-crafted kitchen islands, Fantini fixtures in natural brass and distinct custom bronze kitchen hoods.

The condominium features an extensive amenity collection with the most sought-after spaces for today’s buyers. Unlike other condominiums on the Upper East Side, 180 East 88th Street boasts eight floors of amenities, including noteworthy spaces like a stunning temperature-controlled wine room complete with private lockers and a tasting table. The development offers residents a direct line to Sotheby’s Fine Wine, where a dedicated sommelier is available to assist with recommendations and selections for residents’ private collections. Additional amenities include a partial indoor soccer field and basketball court, state-of-the-art fitness center with a Peloton bicycle and private yoga studio, residents’ lounge, game room and interactive children’s playroom complete with a slide. Residents also enjoy special benefits at the neighborhood’s iconic 92NY, including priority access to the institution’s programming at its original location and in 180 East 88th Street’s Third Avenue retail space.
