Construction is rising on 300 East 83rd Street, a 22-story residential building in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Lalezarian Group, the 235-foot-tall structure will yield 84,266 square feet with 70 residential units, as well as cellar and ground-floor retail space. The homes will average 1,203 square feet, likely indicating condominiums. Hudson 37 LLC is the general contractor for the project, which is located at the corner of East 83rd Street and Second Avenue.
Foundations were still underway at the time of our last update in early March. Since then, the reinforced concrete superstructure has risen above street level and passed the parapets of its low-rise neighbors. The first 13 stories of 300 East 83rd Street feature the same floor plate dimensions, followed by a setback and a reduced volume. The building will culminate in a symmetrically stepped crown with a tall mechanical bulkhead. The main rendering shows the façade composed of light-hued stone paneling framing a grid of floor-to-ceiling windows with gray spandrels.

The below photo shows 300 East 83rd Street (left) rising alongside 250 East 83rd Street, a 31-story residential tower under construction just across Second Avenue. Though they will top out short of skyscraper status, both buildings will still contribute nicely to the vertical density of the neighborhood.

The property is located directly across from the southern entrance to the 86th Street subway station, serviced by the Q train. Also nearby are the 4, 5, and 6 trains at the 86th Street station to the west.
300 East 83rd Street is anticipated to be finished next fall, as noted on site.

More bland UES apartments.
More bland than the old apartment tower to the north? Ohh please
Wow. How much more mediocre junk can SLCE inflict on this city?? Hopefully it’ll have scafgolding around it in perpetuity so it won’t be as noticeable. /s
Hope my wife and I could get in thanks
Anyone can get in. Just buy an apartment. Given this is a pretty prime area on the UES and new construction, I’d imagine a spacious two bedroom would be well north of $2 million. Still cheaper than closer to Central Park, though.
I am retired I live with my wife
The 80s are back.
I don’t see Bud Fox at the top of this.
He started with brick wall .
I’ll take bland, reasonably sized condos over some ornate stone facade building where the smallest unit is a 3,000sf 3-bedroom starting at $6MM.
What difference does 2.5 million and 6 million make for regular people?
A lot? Contrary to what you may think, there are many people who can afford apartments in the 2-2.5MM range. Similarly, those apartments will be much more affordable on resale in 5-10 years.
A $6MM mega-apartment is always going to be the domain of celebrities, absentee residents, and Russian oligarchs.
Those nice prewars had to come down for this?
Also, it’s sad knowing that all of those UES small businesses torn down for luxury development are never coming back
Yeah small businesses never just move to another location. I’ve never seen that happen in my life. My thoughts are of they don’t pursue another location it’s probably because they are retiring or were looking for a reason to close anyway.
Lowell, Papaya King on E 86th Street relocated literally across the street. They didn’t fold, they didn’t give up just because another condo will go up in it’s place. They’re coming back.
That’s on Third not Second
What happens when that block gets torn up for condos also? Just keep opening up in new places and signing leases that are more landlord friendly each time?
Have started to notice these new condo towers being built on more corners, with low-rise older buildings to the left and right! 🤔
Kind of like “sentry” towers on a castle protecting the fort! 🤣
