1487 First Avenue is a newly constructed 35-story residential building located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side at the southwestern corner of First Avenue and East 78th Street. The project was developed by Carmel Partners, who purchased the property from Robert Chou for $73.5 million in early 2022. Designed by Hill West Architects, the building rises 404 feet tall and contains 206 condominium units alongside 7,120 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a cellar level.

Construction began with foundation work in late 2023, progressing rapidly as the reinforced concrete superstructure rose above street level. The building features a façade combining floor-to-ceiling glass framed by an irregular grid of light gray brick, with a denser masonry presence on the lower levels that gives way to larger glass expanses on the upper stories. Multiple setbacks occur at the top of the podium and below the mechanical extension, adding architectural interest to the structure.

The development benefited from a $153 million construction loan secured from Northwestern Mutual in September 2023, enabling swift progress. By June 2024, the building topped out, with its distinctive gray brick and glass façade enclosing the tower fully to its midpoint. The overall design and construction reflect a modern architectural approach fitting the Lenox Hill section of the Upper East Side, contributing a significant new residential presence to the neighborhood.

Optimal Spaces can help you turn critical and complex real estate issues into opportunities for growth and or cost reduction. We offer the experience, know-how, and the strategic planning that helps lead to better decisions. Virtually everything you need to enhance the value of your business (for profit and not for profit) , you will find at Optimal Spaces.

About Optimal Spaces
Optimal Spaces are Tenant Brokers, only representing commercial tenants, not owners or landlords. By contrast, managing agents and most commercial brokers are "landlord agents" representing the interest of owners. Their goal is to market and lease their clients' properties with the best possible terms for the owners. Thus, they will neither show you as broad a selection nor push to get the best price, since their loyalty is to the Landlord. An Optimal Spaces agent will show you a broader range of properties and offer you a broader range of important services than a managing agent or commercial broker will. We will provide you with a market survey, floor plans, pricing expectations , and access to our rolodex: Optimal Spaces walks you through the process from start to finish. Upon entering your new space, it will look the way you want, all at the price you agreed to spend. In addition to negotiating the best price, we will reveal and abate many "hidden costs" to you. We will show you all the relevant available spaces and safeguard your interests throughout the process. Because of tour costs to provide these services, we ask in exchange that clients sign an Exclusive Brokerage Agreement. This allows us to plan appropriately for assisting you with every step of the process.
