Work is progressing 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 Properties, the 235-foot-tall structure will span 93,682 square feet and yield 70 condominium units with an average scope of 1,305 square feet, as well as cellar level and ground-floor retail space. A portion of the homes will be reserved for affordable housing. Hudson 37 LLC is the general contractor for the project, which is alternately addressed as 1594-1598 Second Avenue and located at the corner of East 83rd Street and Second Avenue.
The reinforced concrete superstructure topped out shortly after our last update in late August, when crews were forming the final sections of the mechanical bulkhead above the roof parapet. Recent photos show the perimeter in the process of being framed out with metal frame studs and insulation boards behind scaffolding and black netting. Work has yet to commence on the façade paneling and window grid.

The main rendering depicts the exterior composed of light-hued stone paneling and white spandrels framing a grid of floor-to-ceiling windows.
YIMBY last reported that the developer re-filed plans for the project to increase the height of the 22nd level for additional mechanical needs. Additional changes to the property include the reduction of the ground-floor commercial space by 126 square feet and a subtraction of more than 2,000 square feet of residential space. The architectural design and appearance of the façade should stay the same.
The nearest subway from the site is the Q train at the 86th Street station directly across the street.
300 East 83rd Street’s anticipated completion is slated for the fall of 2024, as noted on site.

Just curious if that “multi-toned grey” concrete wall is going to be covered or left exposed! 🤔
The developers seem to be paying attention to the architectural design, but I am not opposed to these changes: Thanks to Michael Young.
