200 East 83rd Rises: Robert A.M. Stern-designed tower to be among Upper East Side's tallest

The Naftali Group in partnership with Rockefeller Group have cleared a corner of walk-up buildings on the Upper East Side to make way for a soaring and stately condominium tower designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects. Anticipated to stand 35 floors and 489 feet high (from street level to pinnacle), the venture at 200 East 83rd Street will become the seventh-tallest in the neighborhood behind 520 Park Avenue, Trump Palace, The Belaire, Bristol Plaza, One East River Place, and the newly-finished 180 East 88th Street.

The site is found at the corner of Third Avenue and East 83rd Street, an atypical residential block a short walk to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park, and the Lexington Avenue line's 86th Street subway station. In July 2019, the developers secured $176 million in financing to begin work on the 250,000-square-foot project. According to The Real Deal, the developers finalized the acquisition of the site from Muss Development and the Aryeh family in March for $167 million. As of mid-October 2020, the concrete frame has reached the eighth floor, clearing the height of adjacent walk-ups, and well on its way to becoming the preeminent high-rise in the area.
