Façade installation is steadily progressing on 200 East 75th Street, an 18-story residential building in the Lenox Hill section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Beyer Blinder Belle and developed by EJS Development, which purchased the property for $32.5 million in March 2021, the 214-foot-tall structure will span 97,569 square feet and yield 36 condominium units and ground-floor retail space. The property is alternately addressed as 1305-1307 Third Avenue and located at the intersection of Third Avenue and East 75th Street.
The first sections of the paneled brick façade were beginning to cover the midpoint of the reinforced concrete superstructure at the time of our last update in late May. Progress has continued steadily and is now nearing the first of the upper setbacks. Some of the interstitial spaces between each level and grid of floor-to-ceiling windows have been filled in, including the first pieces of white fluted spandrels that are now visible around the corners of the building, and thin white vertical concave terracotta panels. Meanwhile, multiple scaffolding hoists continue to work up and down the northern and western sides of the cladding, while black netting and metal scaffolding still cover up the multifaceted crown and rooftop bulkhead.

The main rendering by DBOX depicts 200 East 75th Streets’ prewar-inspired design in the morning sunlight, showing its light-colored limestone base, an earth-toned brick façade, fluted terracotta paneling, and ornamental metal detailing at the very top. Windows will come in a mix of recessed rectangular and arched floor-to-ceiling shapes, while the setbacks on the top floors will feature the same brick and metal paneling that matches the aesthetic of the rest of the building below. New tree-lined sidewalks will surround the northern and western ground-floor elevations.
The below rendering offers a nighttime depiction of the upper setbacks on the northern profile, showing the three distinctly oversized arched windows flanked by landscaped terraces that will provide views over the neighborhood.

The residential entrance is positioned along East 75th Street beneath a dark metal canopy flanked by two large cylindrical light fixtures and a pair of white planters, along with an adjacent garage door that leads to the building’s on-site parking facility immediately west of the front doors.

The entrance to the main lobby will feature an atrium adorned with artwork directly adjacent to an arched doorway leading to the front desk. The floor is composed of a black and white marble checkerboard pattern.

Compass Development Marketing Group is the exclusive sales and marketing agent and Yellow House Architects is the interior designer for the condominium units, which include five full-floor penthouse residences at the top of the building. Sales launched back in March and homes start at $3.325 million for a two-bedroom residence.
The nearest subways from the upcoming development are the local 6 train at the 77th Street station to the northwest along Lexington Avenue and the Q train at the 72nd Street station to the south along Second Avenue.
200 East 75th Street is expected to be finished sometime in 2025.

This is turning out to be a nice building. It’s a shame what they’re building next to it.
A completion date has not yet been determined, look at how the spaces in the building are separated into good proportions: Thanks to Michael Young.
This is a beautiful building. It is not an eyesore. Can’t more buildings put a little bit of style into their facade at least? Guess not!
