609 2Nd Ave

Completed in 2024, this 18-story full-service condominium on Manhattan’s East Side presents a contemporary, material-forward façade of curved dark brick and patinated copper-look panels. Designed by ODA with Fischer + Makooi, the mid-rise houses studios, one- and two-bedroom residences with large picture windows, white oak hardwood floors, and in-unit Miele laundry. Kitchens are finished with Calacatta or Basaltina stone, custom white-lacquer cabinetry, Alpi wood accents, and integrated high-performance appliances; bathrooms use polished porcelain and custom vanities with walk-in showers or soaking tubs in larger homes. Many units include private outdoor space—balconies or terraces ranging from compact to generous footprints—blurring indoor/outdoor living. Shared amenities emphasize wellness and social life: a landscaped courtyard/Zen garden, a planted rooftop terrace with outdoor kitchen and views, a residents’ lounge, a well-equipped fitness center, indoor basketball court, bicycle room, private storage, and 24/7 attended lobby service. The building offers concierge-style staffing and pet-friendly policies. Located in quiet Kips Bay near St. Vartan Park, Madison Square Park, the United Nations, supermarkets, and multiple subway lines and ferry access, the property combines neighborhood calm with convenient Midtown and NoMad/ Koreatown access.
