A new rendering has been revealed for 1482 First Avenue, a 30-story residential tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Hill West Architects with Paris Forino as the interior designer and developed by Alchemy-ABR, the 395-foot-tall structure will span 161,000 square feet and yield 86 rental units and 343 square feet of commercial space. The property is comprised of two conjoined interior lots by the intersection of First Avenue and East 77th Street.
The rendering depicts the main western elevation of the building, showing a straightforward rectangular massing with a handful of setbacks spread across the height of the tower. A metal canopy hangs above the two-story entrance, followed by a dense cluster of windows on levels three through 11. The first setback on level 12 provides room for an outdoor terrace lined with glass railings, while the rest of the superstructure climbs uninterrupted until a small setback on level 26. An additional stack of balconies is positioned along the southwestern corner. An expansive rooftop terrace will be located on the 30th floor setback and will be partially covered by the bulkhead on its southern end. The façade is depicted composed of floor-to-ceiling glass and a grid of gray paneling.
Demolition has concluded since our last update in late-July, when the two former low-rise occupants of the property were being razed behind scaffolding and construction netting. The lot now sits cleared and blocked off with wooden fencing.

The following Google Street View image shows the former occupants of the property before the start of work. Demolition cost a combined $1.8 million and wrapped up before the end of summer.

Alchemy-ABR paid $20.8 million for 1484 First Avenue in an off-market deal from the Parkoff Organization and Prize Network Group. The developer then acquired 1482 First Avenue for $8.3 million and spent $10 million on development rights for the two abutting properties.
The nearest subway from the development site is the Q train at the 86th Street station along Second Avenue.
A construction timeline for 1482 First Avenue has yet to be announced.

86 units?
It’s too bad that awful little turd on the corner isn’t part of the assemblage.
That “awful little turd” is home sweet home for a bunch of people..
35 units
Built 1977
Last sold 1998 for $2 million
That does not actually change the fact it’s still an awful little turd.
Ok, you win 🙂
Better get building before new mayor is elected. re negotiation may be called for. New tower without low income and middle income may not get approved in the future
those are going to be HUGE units…
More than 1800 square feet per unit. unless they are mostly 3 or 4 bedrooms, these are definitely not rentals.
That’s only about 2 units per floor, so apparently this will be more very high-priced condos. Thank good for the unexceptional corner building, with somewhat affordable housing that will remain, and remind people that this neighborhood isn’t brand new.
86 rental units in 161,000sf. These aren’t going to be cheap (no new construction is) but it is a fairly reasonable unit count, especially on gross area.
Just another bland soulless building on the UES
define soulful buildings please and give me examples (except for pre-war bldgs)
Looks too tall for mid-block
You people are hilarious. That corner building looks like it’s from Xinjiang.
Who cares what you think.
You do
Apparently you cared enough to mark another snobby remark, Mayor Kenny. You arrogant retard.
The “Upper East Side” will keep moving northward with the construction of the 2nd Avenue subway. East Harlem’s days are numbered.
