1487 First Avenue’s Façade Nears Completion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side
Kicking off YIMBY’s annual year-end countdown of the 31 tallest buildings under construction in New York is 1487 First Avenue, a 35-story residential tower on the border of the Lenox Hill and Yorkville sections of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Hill West Architects and developed and built by Carmel Partners, which purchased the property from Robert Chou for $73.5 million in early 2022, the 404-foot-tall structure will yield 206 condominium units, 7,120 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and a cellar level. CP VII 78th Street Owner is the owner of the property, which is located at the southwestern corner of First Avenue and East 78th Street.
