196 Orch St

A full-service condominium completed in 2017, this 11-story boutique tower contains 54 residences ranging from studios to three-bedroom layouts. The exterior presents a layered, industrial-influenced façade with dark glazed brick and vertically proportioned casement windows that reference the character of the Lower East Side. Inside, many homes display exposed concrete ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors, oversized industrial-style windows, high ceilings and thoughtfully detailed millwork. Kitchens are bespoke, often featuring integrated Miele appliances, onyx lacquer or walnut cabinetry, and stone backsplashes; baths use honed and polished marbles with premium fixtures. Privately pitched outdoor spaces are common — from small balconies to substantial terraces and garden-level private yards — and several corner residences offer expansive wraparound terraces with skyline views. Shared spaces include a furnished, landscaped rooftop terrace with multiple outdoor kitchens and dining areas, bicycle storage, optional private storage, and a staffed 24-hour attended lobby with resident superintendent. A two-story, 30,000 sq ft Equinox fitness and spa occupies the building base with resident discount access and a private entrance. The building permits pets and provides concierge-style services that support an amenity-forward urban lifestyle in the nexus of the Lower East Side and East Village, steps from restaurants, nightlife and subway lines.
