300 E 33Rd St

Kips Bay Towers is a mid-century, full-service condominium campus on Manhattan’s east side, completed in 1961 and rising 21 stories. Designed by I.M. Pei, the property comprises large, traditionally planned residences—studios, one-bedrooms and three-bedrooms—characterized by expansive wall-to-wall or floor-to-ceiling windows, ample closets and separate dressing or dining alcoves in many units. Interiors commonly feature granite counters, recessed lighting, formal dining areas, breakfast bars and configured storage rooms; several listings note renovated kitchens and bathrooms and custom built-ins. The development is organized around a notably large private planted courtyard and gardens—approximately three acres—equipped with lawns, playground, full-size basketball court, ping-pong, picnic areas and walking paths, effectively serving as a shared backyard for residents. Onsite services and communal spaces include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent and resident manager, porters and handymen, newly renovated lobby and corridors, a fitness center, community room, laundry, bike and storage rooms, cold storage and valet services. Parking (attached garage and onsite valet) and additional building storage are available; pet policies vary across listings but many notes indicate cats allowed while dogs are often restricted. The location provides immediate access to neighborhood groceries, theaters, restaurants, the #6 subway, cross-town buses, East River ferry service and multiple Citibike stations, combining a residential campus feel with strong urban connectivity.
