575 Grand St

A mid-century residential cooperative built in 1955, this 20-story property contains one- to three-bedroom apartments arranged around landscaped courtyards and private gardens. The masonry façade and regular window rhythms reflect restrained 1950s apartment design, while many residences have been reconfigured over time to create loft-like, open-plan interiors. Typical units feature eat-in kitchens with full windows, separate formal dining areas or foyers, built-in storage, and original parquet or oak floors; larger high-floor homes add enclosed balconies and extended sightlines to the East River and downtown skyline. Shared spaces emphasize family-oriented conveniences: two internal private parks with playgrounds, a children’s playroom, a community room, and an attended 24-hour lobby. Resident services include an on-site fitness center, coin-operated and upgraded laundry facilities, bicycle storage, a parking lot and fee-based storage; some services and spaces use waitlists and additional fees. The co-op’s governance permits co-purchasing, guarantors and gifting, allows sublets after ownership requirements are met, and restricts dogs (cats often allowed). Located on the Lower East Side within blocks of East River Park, multiple bus lines and Delancey/Essex and East Broadway subway stations, the building sits near supermarkets, local eateries and the new Essex Crossing development, offering a city-and-river lifestyle with abundant outdoor common space.
