The Capri is a 46-story, postwar condominium completed in 2001 that reads as a boutique high-rise with an intimate unit count. Designed by Costas Kondylis, the tower presents a glass-fade façade and residential floors that generally host two to three apartments per level, producing a quiet, private feel uncommon in larger Midtown buildings. Typical residences are one-bedroom floorplans (with some larger multi-bedroom duplexes and penthouses), featuring high ceilings, recessed lighting, granite counters in eat-in or windowed kitchens, generous closets or custom wardrobe systems, and spa-style baths with soaking tubs. Many homes offer expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows and private outdoor space of varied sizes; top-floor residences include double-height living rooms and large terraces. Common services mirror full-service condominium living: a 24-hour doorman, concierge, and live-in superintendent, plus laundry facilities located on residential floors. The building permits pets and accommodates pied-à-terre ownership; it does not allow in-unit washer/dryers for 1–2 bedroom layouts, though several listings note stacked laundry nearby or on-floor machines. Parking is not a pronounced feature of the property. Located in Sutton Place/Midtown East, the Capri sits close to multiple subway lines, commuter access points, the East River promenade, high-end groceries and fitness clubs, and a dense restaurant scene, positioning it as a discreet but centrally placed Manhattan residence.
