O’Connor Capital Partners has announced the launch of sales at 200 East 62nd Street, a new condominium located where midtown meets uptown, in one of Manhattan’s most desirable residential enclaves. Reimagined by Messana O’Rorke, a Greenwich Village-based architectural team renowned for its signature modernism and uniquely sophisticated designs, 200 E 62 will offer spacious, light-filled interiors with well-appointed amenities and services.
“The uniqueness of 200 East 62nd Street is that it highlights both the heritage of the Upper East Side and the energy and excitement of Midtown,” said William Q. O’Connor, President and CEO of O’Connor Capital Partners, developers of Manhattan House, a successful condominium conversion located at 200 East 66th Street. “We chose to work with Messana O’Rorke on this building because of their shared commitment to quality design and craftsmanship – and in turn they created residences that reflect a modern lifestyle offering contemporary features and amenities.”
Originally built in 1967, 200 E 62 has been redesigned with a refined, modern aesthetic to emphasize the graciously proportioned interiors. With interiors and public spaces curated by Messana O’Rorke, in their first multi-family residential development, the 30-story building has been converted into 115 condominium residences ranging from one- to five-bedrooms.
The building’s transformation begins on tree-lined 62nd Street with a newly landscaped porte-cochere driveway that is attended by a 24-hour doorman and concierge. Entering the lobby, Messana O’Rorke’s refreshing contemporary design emerges. Designed as an escape from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, the warm and refined space features Basaltina stone floors, fireplace with Basaltina hearth and walnut surround, and stainless steel reception desk and podium.
“When approaching the design of the residences at 200 E 62, we worked closely with the development team to consider not just the layouts and flow of the homes, but how residents would live in the spaces and the functionality of each home,” said Brian Messana of Messana O’Rorke, which has handled a variety of commercial, industrial and institutional projects throughout the United States, as well as over fifty private homes in New York. “In our first project of this scale, we strayed from the traditional, classic Upper East Side layouts to create spaces that allowed for movement and natural light.”
With an emphasis on openness, all of the homes feature expansive floor plans, generously proportioned windows and sweeping views. All homes boast European 7″ oiled white oak flooring, approximately nine-foot ceilings, solid core doors with polished chrome hardware, washer and dryer, and are pre-wired for cable, telephone, high speed internet and Verizon FiOs.
200 E 62 will also feature an array of lifestyle amenities including a fitness center, children’s playroom, and landscaped rooftop terrace with furnishings. Additional conveniences offered in the pet-friendly building include individual storage for purchase, bicycle storage, refrigerated storage, and additional laundry facility. A parking garage is available onsite that offers direct entry to the building.
Located in one of Manhattan’s most desirable residential neighborhoods, 200 E 62 is at the heart of everything. Within this unique neighborhood residents enjoy access to stylish boutiques, fine food markets, and excellent restaurants. Celebrated cultural institutions, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Frick Collection, and the Park Avenue Armory are part of the everyday landscape, as well as such shopping destinations as Bloomingdale’s and Barneys New York.
The sales gallery and a collection of model residences are located in the building. Residences start at $2,180,000, and occupancy is slated for Fall 2015. For additional information or to schedule an appointment, please contact the sales team at 212-753-6200 or visit www.200e62ny.com.
