The Club at Turtle Bay is a 38-story condominium tower completed in 1988 that contains roughly 173 residences, primarily studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom plans. Architecturally straightforward, the high-rise presents a masonry-and-glass façade typical of late-1980s Manhattan residential construction with oversized windows and many corner exposures. Interior common elements include a staffed 24-hour doorman and concierge desk, an entrance foyer and elevator banks, a live-in superintendent, a windowed communal lounge and an enclosed rooftop sunroom with an adjacent landscaped roof deck offering panoramic city views. Apartment interiors vary by unit but commonly feature hardwood or parquet floors, galley or open-plan kitchens (some windowed), marble bathrooms, abundant closet storage and the option for washer/dryer installation in many units. Building services and conveniences include a central laundry room, on-site storage lockers, bicycle storage and discounted access to the neighboring Vanderbilt YMCA for gym and pool facilities; parking and private storage are available for a fee. The condominium enforces a mixed pet policy (cats often permitted; dogs restricted or prohibited in some units), and periodically assesses capital or reserve charges for façade and building projects. Located in the Turtle Bay/Midtown East corridor, the property sits blocks from the United Nations, Grand Central Terminal, several bus lines and a dense mix of restaurants, groceries and neighborhood parks, supporting an urban, transit-rich lifestyle.
