BLDG Management Company has officially launched leasing at Stella LES, a new rental property at 251 East 2nd Street in the East Village, Manhattan. Designed by Rotwein + Blake Architects, the ten-story property houses 44 one- and two-bedroom apartments, many offering private balconies and terrace spaces.
All available properties boast oversized floor-to-ceiling windows with sunshades, white oak hardwood flooring, custom closets, and in-unit washers and dryers. A Latch entry system allows convenient yet secure apartment access via smartphone app, and smart thermostats provide both comfort and energy efficiency.
Monthly rents at Stella LES start at $3,255 for a studio, $3,590 for a one-bedroom, and $5,855 for a two-bedroom home. Corcoran New Development is the exclusive marketing and leasing agent.
“STELLA LES is a much-needed offering in a neighborhood where luxury rentals and amenities remain limited,” said Jodi Stasse, executive vice president of new developments at The Corcoran Group. “The building’s façade and mid-rise height were designed to blend into the fabric of the neighborhood while standing out like a beautiful jewel box at night.”

Amenities, as revealed in the renderings, include a fully equipped fitness center, a rooftop lounge with a fire pit and outdoor cooking areas, and communal indoor lounges.

Oooooh! I sure like this! I especially like the external design.
Rents starting at 3,000+ for a studio apt on the LES..Who would have thunk it?
High rent and not near a subway.
Not true, this is a short walk to the 2nd Ave. subway (F line), as the eastern entrance is on 1st Ave., and the Delancey/Essex subway (FJMZ lines), as the northern entrance is north of Delancey. Also, there are a ton of bus routes that take you right to 14th Street/Union Square subway hub.
I know because I lived down the street in the early 2000’s. The neighborhood has excellent transit access. And $3,000/month is cheap for a new construction building in Manhattan. They were already charging $3,000+ for newer buildings 20-25 years ago. You pay $6,000/month for newer construction rentals in a more prime neighborhood.
