400 E 56Th St

Plaza 400 is a 40-story, 1969-built full-service cooperative in Manhattan’s Sutton Place characterized by large, traditionally proportioned apartments ranging from studios through four-bedrooms. The limestone-and-brick high-rise presents a set-back circular driveway and a renovated, staffed lobby that leads to elevator banks serving deep-plan residences with formal foyers, dining rooms, built-in millwork, crown molding and abundant closet space. Typical interiors show a mix of restored and updated units—hardwood floors, renovated kitchens with granite or Caesarstone counters, recessed lighting and multiple-window exposures; many units feature private balconies or planted terraces. Shared amenities are comprehensive: 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in super and assistant, a roof deck with a heated seasonal pool and panoramic skyline views, a fitness center with yoga/stretching studio, children’s playroom, party/game room, bicycle and storage rooms, laundry facilities and an on-site garage available for a separate fee. Building policies historically permit pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and limited subletting subject to board approval; maintenance often includes utilities (gas and electricity), and there is a customary co-op flip tax. The location places residents steps from the East River Greenway, transit options, neighborhood markets and Midtown shopping, offering a quiet, residential Sutton Place lifestyle with easy access to Manhattan’s midtown amenities.
