Description

The Duplex Penthouse at the Clare is the first of its kind in the Upper East Side, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, four exposures, full walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, and views of Midtown, the 59th Street Bridge and beyond. Beginning at the 18th floor, this exclusive duplex residence spans 2,900 SF, with four expansive outdoor terraces. The full-floor, private rooftop terrace is equipped with a gas BBQ station. In the living and dining areas is a special glass atrium ceiling that spans 34'1" x 17'11", and is outfitted with a customized, remote controlled electronic shade system.

Set apart with elevated finishes, the open kitchen features an expansive island that measures over 10'11 x 4'7, honed Brazilian Arabescato marble countertops, and abundant undercounter storage throughout. The kitchen is complemented by a full suite of appliances from Gaggenau and Miele. The master bathroom features walls clad in polished Calacatta Gold marble, flooring in honed Calacatta Gold marble, and polished Perla Dolomite marble countertop. The secondary bathroom features walls clad in polished Perla Dolomite marble, flooring in honed Bianco Dolomite marble, and polished Perla Dolomite marble countertop.

The Clare is located at the nexus of Midtown and the Upper East Side at which natural light is the centerpiece of every home and public space. From the earliest glimpse of sunrise to the first brush of evening, from the dawning of the day until the cresting of the moon, life at The Clare takes on an entirely new sensibility in clarity and light through enormous windows that frame sweeping views of Central Park, Downtown, the Roosevelt Island Tram and the 59th Bridge. Known for their intelligent use of space and innovative, modern compositions, Manuel Glas Architects have brought The Clare to life. The vision is an environment where light-filled living is the centerpiece of every residence and public space. The condominium's unmatched design features a beautiful facade of panels by Porcelanosa, natural Indiana limestone, and oversized glass windows. This south-facing building is wrapped in vertical fins that provide discreet shade to the residences as the sun travels east to west. Extending up from the base, these mullions highlight the setback floors atop the Clare, creating a unique but contextual relationship with the surrounding neighborhood. A full suite of amenities includes a residents' lounge with furnished dining and living room, entertainment center and pantry, a fitness center, and a landscaped outdoor terrace with lounging.

10-year 421a tax abatement Immediate occupancy. The complete offering terms are in an offering plan available from sponsor File No. CD15-0274.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
