Construction is now complete on The Leyton, a 30-story residential tower at 1059 Third Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Manuel Glas Architects and developed by Dart Interests and Real Estate Inverlad, the 481-foot-tall structure spans 127,000 square feet and will yield 38 condominium units with interior design by Frampton Co. and Champalimaud Design. The residential program includes ten full-floor homes and one duplex penthouse. Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing is leading sales and marketing for the property, which is located by the intersection of Third Avenue and East 63rd Street.
Since our last update in April, work has concluded on the ground floor and on the stacked balconies on the rear elevation. The sidewalk scaffolding has been removed, revealing the completed look of the frontage. The building features two separate entrances, with the residential doors marked with the address 1059. Above, the multi-story podium is wrapped with an advertisement for the penthouse unit.

Looking near all new views on these designs, from where you show I could see beautiful day events by developer. The glistening had been named on my attracted to exterior with balconies, they made me feel powerful facade and lay several colors would surely be there need: Thanks to Michael Young.
Kind of looks like it’s having an identity crisis.
I couldn’t agree more.
Idk why but this is easily one of my favorite new high-rises. A classy design that is very NY in some way, i even like the super low-key entrance

..building seems well executed and atypical. It’s curious when the floorplans are reviewed, so many of the bedrooms do not have wallspace/room space for a dresser? Millions of dollars and no place to put underwear and socks. I’m amused, or not?!
“It’s a little bit of this, and
a little bit of that”! 🤗
Looks like they used everything in the design? including the “kitchen sink”!
🤣😂😅
Somehow this works. I agree that it’s a bit of everything, but it all looks like it’s been thought out and well executed. And we all need to appluade that it’s not another glass tower. Great job!
In Damn Yankees Gwen Verdun sang “A little bit of dis-a and a little bit of dat-a with an emphasis on the Lat-a. Odd that seeing these photographs ran that melody though my mind.
I really want to like this, but there’s a lot going on. The ground floor entry is simply terrible. The projecting balconies on the upper floors ruin the look. The intent was good, but more design editing was sorely needed.
I am looking for a 2 bedroom apartment I have section 8 and my husband work
