YIMBY stopped by Azure on the Upper East Side for a tour of the tower’s two penthouse units, which enjoy spectacular views over Manhattan and Long Island. The building’s relative isolation on the skyline — given its location, at 333 East 91st Street — allows for comprehensive vistas, and units are nearly sold out.

The northern panorama (zoomable photo at link) includes Yankee Stadium, and the George Washington Bridge also figures prominently; looking east, the view is slightly more pedestrian, as Queens and Long Island offer a relatively drab backdrop.
The Azure, looking west
While western views are the only perspective to be somewhat compromised, the Park is still slightly visible. Regardless of obstructions, the southern perspective is what’s most interesting, especially as the 57th Street supertalls are beginning to make an impact on the Midtown jungle; while One57 is already prominent, 432 Park Avenue is about to dominate the frame.

Azure’s developers are DeMatteis and The Mattone Group, and the architect of record is SLCE; the penthouses are located on the 34th floor, and the project has 128 residences in total.
