577 Grand St

A 20-story cooperative built in 1955, the East River co-op presents midcentury residential architecture on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The building’s portfolio is focused on two- and three-bedroom layouts, many arranged as corner plans that maximize river and skyline sightlines. Residences commonly feature eat-in kitchens, sizable entrance foyers, ample closet storage and parquet or hardwood flooring; many units have been renovated with modern appliances and windowed baths. Exterior features include private balconies for select units and building-managed landscaped courtyards and gardens, including two gated private parks with seating and playgrounds. Shared spaces emphasize family-friendly amenities: a full, updated fitness center, children’s playroom, community room, laundry facilities, package room and bicycle storage. Operational services include a 24-hour attended lobby/security desk, on-site maintenance staff, private and common storage options, and emergency power for essential systems. Parking is available for a fee. The co-op’s rules historically restrict dogs while permitting cats; subletting is allowed after a waiting period with fees and board approval, and policies accommodate gifting, guarantors and co-purchasing. Located one block from East River Park and a short walk to Delancey/Essex subway connections, the building sits amid cafes, markets and neighborhood retail, offering easy access to green space, transit and the Lower East Side’s dining and cultural scene.
