160 East 22nd Street elevates an uninspired stretch of Third Avenue with its modern interpretation of the iconic New York pre-war apartment building. This 21-story residential development designed for Toll Brothers City Living, is easily recognizable for its contemporary limestone facade and dramatic 24-foot cantilever that incorporates adjacent development rights.
The design enhances and enlivens the storied context of Gramercy Park. Inside, classical proportions expressed in a well-balanced selection of sophisticated materials, custom millwork, and muted natural elements evoke a contemporary style with a vintage touch in the building’s common areas and 84 condominium units. Overall, 160 East 22nd Street aims to blend contemporary lines with historic contextual influences, resolving complex New York City regulations, while meeting the fine aesthetic and pragmatic needs of its end users.
