The Corniche is a full-service cooperative tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1974 and rising roughly 24–25 stories with about 120–130 units made up primarily of one- and two-bedroom layouts. The exterior presents a mid‑70s high-rise profile with a landscaped roof deck and building balconies; common outdoor areas include a furnished roof terrace and a planted courtyard. Interiors in individual apartments range from renovated chef’s kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances to original-period details such as crown moldings and eat-in kitchens; many homes feature hardwood floors, ample closet storage, windowed baths, and some private balconies or terraces. Shared building amenities emphasize full-service living: a staffed 24-hour doorman, elegant lobby, live-in superintendent, on-site laundry, bike room, playroom for children, storage rooms with a private storage waitlist, and recently refreshed common areas. The building permits pets with board approval and offers relatively liberal subletting policies after two years of residency; financing and co-purchase terms are accommodating in many cases. Parking is available nearby via a garage across the street rather than in-building parking. Located at the northeast corner of 87th Street and Second Avenue, the Corniche sits within walking distance of grocery markets, restaurants, Carl Schurz Park, the East River promenade, and multiple subway lines including the Q at 86th and the 4/5/6, making it convenient for transit and neighborhood amenities.
