Excavation is progressing at 250-252 East 83rd Street, the site of a 31-story residential tower in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Torkian Group, the 370-foot-tall structure will yield 128 units with interiors designed by Lemay + Escobar, as well as ground-floor retail space. Cauldwell Wingate Company is the general contractor for the property, which is located at the corner of Second Avenue and East 83rd Street.
Excavation work is moving along and will take several more weeks, with foundations likely commencing this winter.

The rendering in the main photo shows a prewar-inspired design with a symmetrical massing incorporating several setbacks. The façade appears to be made of light-hued stone surrounding a grid of large windows with dark mullions and earth-toned paneling, arranged into columns that emphasize the tower’s verticality. The setbacks and cut corners on the upper and lower levels could likely be topped with private terraces.
The following renderings of 250 East 83rd Street highlight the units and amenities, which will include a theater and a children’s playroom.

The 86th Street Q train station is located across the street. Further west along Lexington Avenue are the 4, 5, and 6 trains. 250-252 East 83rd Street will join a number of new residential projects sprouting on the Upper East Side over the coming years, with many being built along Second and Third Avenues. Another of SLCE’s residential designs is currently underway at 1299 Third Avenue and is set to rise 33 stories and 420 feet tall.
250-252 East 83rd Street is expected to open in the fall of 2024.

Uh oh, this project was also covered just 11 days ago. We must be running out of new developments.
It was inevitable.
I feel sorry for the tenants of the building on the right… the one that was “white washed”? Looks like their bedroom and bathroom windows will be sealed into eternal “darkness”, so that those in the new tower can enjoy their “time in the sun”?
That’s why I say if you are going to live in a NYC apt or condo… make sure it’s street facing! 😎
Will it really be all that much different than when the flanking walkup’s were pressed up against it? It will still have it’s air shaft, which is really all it had forthe first 110+ years so…
