1473 Fifth Avenue

One of two buildings that have recently been developed by RKT&B Architects within East Harlem, 1473 Fifth Avenue has everything that would-be renters could ask for. Located near Central Park and opposite Marcus Garvey Park, this spectacular, elevator complex encompasses a total of 80,000 square feet. It was originally constructed as a Housing Preservation and Development project and the work they put in certainly shows. The apartments are gorgeous, cherry hardwood floors and the clean lines a modern artist dreams about. The simplistic design and setup of the units grants tenants a practical layout with spacious closets. Some units also come with their own private outdoor terraces that renters can take advantage of.

Leased by K&R realty, 1473 Fifth Avenue is close to a number of restaurants and local bars. It is also fortuitously designed so that the outside of the building is just as spectacular as the inside. The quaint brick pattern façade comes in three colors in order to mimic the coloring of the surrounding buildings. Featuring a series of staggered windows, the façade is also designed so as to allow a great deal of flexibility in locating the apartment walls. Units feature individual temperature controls, stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and are wired for Verizon FiOS. Residents can enjoy a 4,000 square feet of facility space in their off hours.

Residents of 1473 Fifth enjoy a 5 minutes walk from the downtown express 2/3 subway line (midtown on the express in 10 minutes), an 8 minute walk from the East Side's 6 line, and only a 5 minute walk from the nearest supermarkets, post office, CVS, and New York Sports Club.
