Built irregular in length, the property has unusually large floor plates with side windows in the rear. An elevator services all of the floors as well as a large open stair with separate entrances for the retail and upper floors. Each floor has tall ceilings and excellent light due to the nature of the neighboring buildings.
The property has a total of 10,145 gross square feet and falls within the C5-1/MP zoning which provides it with an additional 16,402 square feet of unused air rights. Due to the nature of the zoning and present certificate of occupancy, the property has the potential to be made completely commercial, completely residential or a mix of both.
Steps from the heart of the Madison Avenue luxury retail corridor, 19 East 71st Street is neighbor to such major retailers as the Ralph Lauren Mansion, The Row, Celine, Asprey, Chloe, Stella McCartney, Elie Saab, Emilio Pucci, Chloe, Prada and Cartier.
The proximity of the property to major institutions such as the Frick Museum, located just across the street; the Met Breuer Museum, located three blocks up Madison; and the Metropolitan Museum all provide an additional attraction to some of the top art galleries in the world, which include Levy Gorvy, David Zwirner, Helly Nahmad Contemporary, Gagosian, Van Doren Waxter, James Reinish, Blum and Poe and Opera Gallery.
