572 Grand St

A midcentury cooperative rising 20 stories on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, completed in 1955 and composed of 26 units primarily laid out as one- and two-bedroom residences. The exterior reads as a practical postwar block with private gated gardens and courtyard space at ground level; many apartments include small private outdoor balconies. Interiors emphasize functional, well-lit layouts: eat-in windowed kitchens, foyer entries, generous closets and storage, and original parquet or hardwood floors where preserved. Common areas are service-oriented rather than ornamental and include an attended lobby, elevator service, in-building laundry, bike and storage rooms, and a community/playroom for residents. The co-op operates with robust onsite staffing — 24-hour lobby attendants and private security — plus full maintenance services and emergency backup power for essential systems. Resident amenities extend to a fully equipped fitness center, two private parks with playgrounds and a basketball court, and package/bike rooms. Parking is available for an additional fee. Pet policy is restrictive: dogs are not permitted. The building’s location places it steps from East River Park, multiple bus routes, nearby subway lines at Delancey/Essex and East Broadway, Citi Bike racks and the East River Ferry, and within easy walking distance of Essex Crossing retail and neighborhood cafes, grocers and cinemas.
