609 Second Avenue is an 18-story, 212-foot-tall luxury condominium building located in Kips Bay, Manhattan, situated between East 33rd and 34th Streets. The building, designed by Fischer + Makooi Architects in collaboration with ODA, features a distinctive façade with cascading curved balconies, rounded corners, horizontal bands of black brick, and earth-toned paneling. The structure includes 65 units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments and four penthouse units, each occupying an entire floor from the 15th to the 18th floor with large private terraces.
The building's design incorporates substantial landscaping, including a landscaped courtyard with a water feature. Residential amenities include a 24-hour concierge, attended lobby, lounge, fitness center with yoga room, a half-court basketball court, and a rooftop sundeck with designated cooking and dining areas.
Construction on the site began after developer Abraham Leser purchased it in 2014. Despite prime location, conservative zoning limited the building's size, yielding a modest FAR of 8.29. The building is part of the broader trend back to more traditional masonry-building designs, contrasting with the all-glass "fishbowl" look prevalent in modern developments.
