The Leyton Nears Completion at 1059 Third Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side

Work is nearing completion on The Leyton, a 30-story residential tower at 1059 Third Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Manuel Glas Architects and developed Dart Interests and Real Estate Inverlad, the 481-foot-tall, 127,000-square-foot structure will yield 38 residences with sales and marketing led by Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing. Frampton Co. and Champalimaud Design handled interior design for the residences, which include ten full-floor homes and one duplex penthouse. 1059 Third Avenue is located by the intersection of Third Avenue and East 63rd Street.

A significant amount of façade work has been completed since our last update in June, and only the lowermost floors and the roof parapet remain to be finished.

The main western profile facing Third Avenue has almost all of its floor-to-ceiling glass, metal railings, terraces and balconies, and additional stone paneling in place. An advertisement for The Layton is displayed on the glass façade above the first story.

The northern wall’s columns of stone that run the full height of the structure enhance its sense of verticality.

Photographs of the back eastern elevation show some outstanding work on the glass curtain walls on the lower half of the superstructure, and a very small sliver of the exterior surface below the flat top remaining to go up.
