250 E 40Th St

The Highpoint Condominium at 250 East 40th Street is a full-service 48-story residential tower completed in 1988. Units range from studios to one- and three-bedroom condos, many laid out with split-bedroom plans, generous living rooms and balconies that capture city and occasional river views. Interiors across the building display a mix of original late-1980s finishes and extensively renovated residences: common features include hardwood plank floors, walk-in closets, entrance foyers, eat-in or galley kitchens with window options, marble or stone bathrooms, and upgraded custom millwork in many units. Shared facilities emphasize wellness and family use — an on-site health club with a 40-foot indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, plus cardio and weight equipment; a children’s playroom; laundry room; bicycle and luggage storage; and communal landscaped courtyard/garden space. The building offers 24-hour doormen, concierge service and a live-in superintendent. Pet policies are permissive with breed exceptions; pied-à-terre ownership and subletting are permitted under the condominium rules. Located in Murray Hill just steps from Grand Central Terminal, the Highpoint sits amid restaurants, markets and transit links (4/5/6/7, regional rail), making it a convenient Midtown East address for commuting and city living.
