196 Orch St

Completed in 2017, this 11-story condominium occupies a prominent Lower East Side corner and offers studio through three-bedroom residences. The architecture blends industrial references with refined materials: a textured façade of dark glazed brick and bronze-toned detailing frames tall, vertical casement windows. Interiors repeatedly pair exposed concrete ceilings (roughly 9–10 feet), wide white oak floors, warm walnut millwork and Nero Marquina marble countertops and backsplashes. Kitchens are fully integrated with Miele appliances and custom cabinetry; baths feature Blue de Savoie and Bianco Dolomiti marble and Waterworks fixtures. Many homes include private outdoor space—balconies or courtyards—plus in-unit washers and ample closet storage. Shared resources emphasize lifestyle and wellness: a two-story, 30,000-square-foot Equinox Fitness Center and Spa with private entrance occupies lower floors, while a residents-only rooftop (roughly 4,100–4,400 sq ft) includes a sky lawn, cabana seating, chef’s tables and multiple al fresco kitchens. The building provides a 24-hour attended lobby, bicycle storage and purchasable private storage; a resident superintendent maintains on-site operations. Location at Orchard and Houston places residents steps from neighborhood restaurants, nightlife and subway access, combining turn-of-the-century LES character with contemporary luxury finishes and large-scale fitness amenities.
