Construction is complete on 420 East 75th Street, a seven-story residential building in the Lenox Hill section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by ARC Architecture + Design Studio and developed by Robert Michaeli of Brooklyn B Company Group, the 74-foot-tall structure yields six full-floor condominium units with an average scope of 1,525 square feet. The project also includes a cellar level and a 31-foot-long rear yard. The property is located on an interior lot between First and York Avenues.
Work has concluded on the ground floor since our last update in late December, when the first story was still obscured by construction fencing. The main northern face now stands fully finished with a light-gray brick façade framing a grid of recessed windows, and long balconies protrude from the eastern side of the elevation. The building culminates in a roof deck slightly higher than the parapet of the adjacent residential building to the west.

The property was formerly occupied by two two-story buildings, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before their demolition. These structures were originally intended to be repurposed into the base of the new development, but the plan was scrapped in favor of ground-up construction. This initial scheme is seen in the outdated rendering that follows.

Brooklyn B Company Group purchased the property from AK Properties Group for $5.8 million in April 2022. Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon at Compass are in charge of sales and marketing for the homes, which all feature three-bedroom layouts.
The nearest subway from 420 East 75th Street is the Q train at the 72nd Street station along Second Avenue.

Well done.
are you serious…? no interesting details whatsoever
100% serious. This is a great looking high quality understated building. What’s not to like?
I always knew I have great taste, but thanks for reminding me.
I’m genuinely curious. Is there a single feature of the building that you like? balcony? brick texture? lol
It’s simple and has clean lines. It’s well-proportioned. It’s almost Brutalist, which I like. Not crazy about street level, but overall, very good.
(1) colors don’t match with neighboring buildings
(2) textures don’t either
(3) no interesting features, no architectural/artistic details whatsoever.
Yes it’s blend but I don’t know why it’s called well done or very good. To me, it’s mediocre at best
The rendering was so much better. What happened?
This is a joke right?
I hope you’re joking Tim because that early outdated rendering of the building’s design looks so mismatched
The 1970s called, they want their ugly monstrosities back
What happened to the plan as in the rendering to keep the existing two story facade and build above?
