DDG's ultra-luxe Upper East Side condominium, 180 East 88th Street, has just listed its last remaining duplex residence, 38W, for $15 million. 38W is an expansive 4+ bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence which spans two levels and 3,794 SF, complete with double-height ceilings, which stretch up to an unbelievable 28' 8", and impeccably designed architectural staircase. The corner unit features a great room, windowed kitchen and personal wet bar. Design features throughout the units at 180 East 88th Street include classic picture rails, baseboard reveals, and a formal entry gallery appointed with herringbone flooring, custom wainscoting, and plaster ceiling details, all similar to what would be found in a museum. As the tower is one of the tallest building north of 72nd Street on the Upper East Side, the resulting view are unprecedented of Central Park and the Midtown skyline.
When complete 180 East 88th Street will rise 50-stories, 521' and will feature 48 condominium units. The building’s design is inspired by New York’s pre-war boom in high-rise masonry construction, paying homage to traditional craftsmanship, while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic. The property’s façade comprises a total of 594,443 bricks, handmade by Danish firm Petersen Tegl. German plaster artisan Jan Hooss was commissioned to create a curved wall installation that celebrates the stucco that was prevalent in Upper East Side architecture at the turn of the 20th century. The wood flooring, used throughout the residences and in select common spaces, is imported from a Benedictine monastery in Austria. Amenities include a partial basketball court, soccer pitch, game room, resident’s lounge, wine room, private fitness and yoga studios and an interactive children’s playroom.
