250 East 49th Street
is a luxury residential condominium located at the corner of East 49th Street
and Second Avenue in Manhattan’s Midtown East Side. The 24 story cylindrical
glass tower rises from a podium that respects the street wall of the residential
block comprised primarily of townhouses and lower scaled buildings. The first
two levels will be primarily retail and entered from the avenue while the
residential lobby will be on 49th Street. The remaining three levels of the
podium section contain larger apartments with terraces that cut into the podium
revealing the curved tower as it rises from the ground. The building will house
88 residences, of one, two and three bedrooms, with additional larger duplex
penthouses on the top floors of the tower.
The floor to ceiling glass curtain wall in the curved area with over 11’-0”
ceilings will allow for expansive views uptown. Other materials for the tower
include a terra cotta cladding system that will provide higher performance
energy conservation and moisture protection than most standard masonry facades.
