The Arcadia is a full-service condominium on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 2005 and rising about 20 stories with roughly 35 residences. Designed by Costas Kondylis, the building presents a boutique scale while delivering large-unit planning: two-, three- and five-bedroom layouts and expansive loft-like one-bedroom conversions appear throughout. Interiors emphasize high ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, generous entry galleries, floor-to-ceiling windows and formal living/dining rooms; many homes feature eat-in kitchens with top-tier appliances, walk-in closets, double vanities, soaking tubs and in-unit laundry. Private outdoor options range from Juliette balconies to terraces and sizable private outdoor spaces. Common areas were recently refreshed and include a staffed 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fully equipped fitness center with a separate yoga/ballet studio, private spa/massage room, screening room, library/entertainment suite with catering kitchen, children’s playroom and bicycle and private storage. The building is pet-friendly (dogs under 75 pounds) and charges a condominium transfer fee equal to 12 months of common charges for transfers. Situated on a tree-lined block near Carl Schurz Park and the East River Esplanade, The Arcadia provides direct access to neighborhood groceries, restaurants and subway lines, offering a quiet, residential feel within a full-amenity urban condominium.
