609 2Nd Ave

Nolen (609 Second Avenue) is an 18-story condominium completed in 2024 that contains 29 residences ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments. The façade, designed by ODA with Fischer + Makooi, pairs curved brick ribbons with patinated copper-look panels for a warm, sculptural presence on Second Avenue. Interiors emphasize natural materials and light: expansive picture windows, white oak hardwood floors, Calacatta marble or Basaltina stone surfaces, Alpi wood accents, and fully integrated Miele appliance packages in bespoke kitchens. Many homes include walk-in closets, in-unit Miele laundry, and private outdoor space — from compact balconies to terraces over 50 square feet. Common areas are programmed around wellness and small-community living: a landscaped roof terrace with outdoor kitchen and panoramic views, a planted courtyard/Zen garden, a residents’ lounge, a fully equipped fitness center with Matrix equipment, an indoor basketball court, bicycle room, and private storage. Services include a canopied, attended lobby with 24/7 staff. The building sits in Kips Bay on Manhattan’s East Side, a neighborhood with nearby parks (St. Vartan, Madison Square), grocery options (Trader Joe’s, Fairway), abundant transit including multiple subway lines and NYC Ferry access, and quick connections to Midtown cultural destinations. Pets are allowed and the development markets private outdoor living and wellness-focused shared spaces.
