The Peter James is a 19-story cooperative tower in Manhattan completed in 1964 that primarily offers studios, one- and two-bedroom residences and convertible layouts. The exterior reads as a midcentury residential block with a recently refreshed lobby and planted roof deck discreetly added to the building’s communal footprint. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, recessed lighting, hardwood floors, formal dining or alcove configurations, walk-in closets and built-in millwork; many units have renovated kitchens with granite or Caesarstone counters and modern stainless appliances. Shared services and spaces reflect full-service coop operations: a 24-hour doorman/concierge, live‑in superintendent, package room, laundry rooms on alternating floors, bike storage and a garage (wait list). The planted roof deck provides panoramic city views including the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings; additional exterior touches include small private outdoor spaces for some units and a cared-for garden. Management policies are coop-style and relatively flexible for the neighborhood, allowing pied-à-terres, co-purchasers, guarantors and pets. Located in Gramercy/Gramercy North, the building sits within walking distance of Madison Square Park, multiple subway lines (6, N, R), neighborhood groceries and numerous restaurants, offering a blend of urban convenience and quieter residential character.
