Construction has topped out on 1448 Third Avenue, a 39-story mixed-use tower in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by CetraRuddy Architecture and developed by Douglaston Development, the 478-foot-tall structure will span 287,632 square feet and yield 125 condominium units with an average scope of 1,804 square feet. The building will also contain 40,864 square feet of commercial space, 21,224 square feet of community facility space, a cellar level, and a 20-foot-long rear yard. The property is alternately addressed as 175 East 82nd Street and located at the corner of Third Avenue and East 82nd Street.
The last residential and mechanical floors were formed since our last update in early January, when crews had just reached the start of the upper setbacks. The building now stands constructed to its pinnacle with formwork and black netting covering the crown. Meanwhile, the earth-toned brick façade is continuing to climb up all four sides of the tower. Installation should proceed at a consistent pace once workers surpass the tall amenity and mechanical floors.

Finalized renderings have still yet to be released. However, the preliminary rendering in the main photo and the wind tunnel model below preview 1448 Third Avenue’s overall L-shaped form and prominent height. The building is almost the same height as Robert A.M. Stern Architects’ 200 East 83rd Street, which stands just to the east along Third Avenue. A triple-height level is positioned around the midpoint of CetraRuddy’s tower with an open-air void, and will most likely house a number of indoor and outdoor amenities and building mechanicals.

Residential amenities at 1448 Third Avenue will include an indoor swimming pool, yoga studio, and bicycle parking. Additional amenities are expected to be announced later.
The nearest subway from the property is the Q train at the 86th Street station at the corner of Second Avenue and East 83rd Street.
1448 Third Avenue is slated for completion in fall 2027, as noted on site.

Particularly great ‘under construction’ photos here by Michael Young of a strong building that enters a dialogue with Robert Stern’s tower just to the east.
So the adjacent chimneys were the driver for the new brick choice?
Actually, this design is growing on me. It has Frank Lloyd Wright vibes, but stripped down a bit too much. Normal sized windows are so nice.
This is a nice contrast to most of all the other usual new stuff.
A strong dedication to brick for such a large structure, impressive.
It’s no RAMSA, but I actually really like this design and the build quality seems solid. The recent batch of Upper East Side towers are also leagues better than the copy/paste glass curtain wall buildings that came before them a decade or so ago.
No mention of pricing or how many of the units have been pre sold?
It’s a hell of a bldg👍, no complaints, I just wish I was the one developing it/building it, & capitalizing in the seemingly endless demand for space in NY, especially w/ this being such an aesthetically impressive structure, no doubt it will be a “slam dunk” given it’s UES location, i’d also like to live in this gem too, if I could afford it.
