The Capri is a 46-story, full-service condominium completed in 2001 and designed by architect Costas Kondylis. With only 40 residences, the building reads as a boutique high-rise: most floors have two to three units, creating a private, low-density vertical community. Exterior design uses a glass-fade façade and expansive windows that provide sweeping, often multi-directional sightlines across Midtown, the East River, and Central Park. Typical residences are one-bedroom layouts, many with floor-to-ceiling windows, eat-in or windowed kitchens with granite counters, high ceilings, recessed lighting, and generous closet storage. Several units include private outdoor terraces varied in size. Bathrooms frequently feature marble or upscale finishes and soaking tubs; select apartments include in-unit washer/dryers while building floors alternate with shared laundry facilities. Common offerings reflect a white-glove service model: 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, valet-style services (housekeeping, dry cleaning, laundry), and parking conveniences via nearby access. Pet-friendly policies and pied-à-terre ownership are commonly accommodated. The Capri sits in Sutton Place / Midtown East, steps from multiple subway lines, Citi Bike stations, grocery and fitness amenities, and riverside promenades — a location that blends tranquil, tree-lined streets with immediate access to Manhattan’s cultural and commercial centers.
