570 Grand St

A mid-20th-century cooperative high-rise constructed in 1955, this 20-story residential building offers predominantly one- and three-bedroom apartment layouts across its floors. The architecture is utilitarian postwar high-rise: brick-clad façades, regular window bays, and modest balconies and terraces that provide private outdoor space for many units. Interiors vary by residence but commonly include defined entrance foyers, eat-in kitchens with pantry storage, formal dining alcoves, and parquet or hardwood floors. Several units feature enclosed terraces or open balconies with river and skyline views. The building’s communal plan emphasizes resident facilities: two private landscaped parks/playgrounds, a central courtyard and garden, a staffed 24-hour lobby with security attendants, an on-site maintenance team, and community rooms and playrooms for families. Fitness needs are met by a large, fully equipped gym; laundry is handled in a modern communal laundry room. Storage lockers and bike storage are available, and limited adjacent parking options exist with nearby commercial garages. The coop’s governance is described as financially stable and board-friendly, permitting co-purchasing, guarantors, gifting, pied-a-terres and, after a holding period, subletting. Pet policy is restrictive—dogs are not allowed. Located on the Lower East Side near East River Park, the building sits within walking distance of multiple bus lines and several subway connections, plus neighborhood retail including supermarkets, the Essex Crossing complex, and riverside recreation.
