Construction has topped out on 232 East 84th Street, a five-story residential building in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The construction board and building permits posted on site indicate there will be a total of four apartments and a cellar level. 68-1509 Estate LLC is listed as the owner of the property, which is located on a very narrow rectangular parcel between Second and Third Avenues. It’s unclear who is the architect, or what the final design will look like.
The new structure is currently topped out at the same height of the two abutting properties and shrouded in scaffolding an netting. Crews have already enclosed most of the main elevation with metal studs and insulation boards, and the final façade will likely follow suit once the framing is complete. The fenestration consists of narrow windows, and a series of rectangular balconies protrudes down the centerline of the building.

The property was formerly occupied by a low-rise residential building, as seen in the below Google Street View image from last fall when construction was ramping up.

The nearest subway from the site is the Q train at the 86th Street station along Second Avenue with an entrance located at the corner of East 83rd Street and Second Avenue.
YIMBY expects construction on 232 East 84th Street to finish sometime in the first half of 2026.

Such a sad loss of history. I’m sure this new ‘housing’ will make for great money laundering shared in the basement or fake affordable for people who make a quarter of a million. When will we learn?
