20 East End Avenue is a residentialcondominium apartment building in theYorkville section of theUpper East Side ofManhattan inNew York City. It was designed in aNew Classical style byRobert A.M. Stern Architects. The building consists of 43 apartments, including two duplex townhomes, one maisonette and twopenthouses.
The building is located on the corner with 80th Street, nearCarl Schurz Park, onEast End Avenue inYorkville, a subsection of theUpper East Side ofManhattan. East End Avenue, on the eastern edge of the Upper East Side, has long been home to some of the city's richest residents includingVincent Astor andGloria Vanderbilt.[2][3]
20 East End Avenue was developed by Edward Baquero of Corigin Real Estate Group. An entry-level, two-bedroom apartment was initially priced at approximately $4.5 million and one of the two penthouses at $39 million.[4][5] Renderings for the building were released in late 2014.[6] Construction began in early 2015,[7] and the building topped out in November 2015.[8] Facade installation was complete in mid-2016, and residents moved into the building later that year.[9][10]
The building is similar to several others designed by Robert A. M. Stern. It was inspired by buildings constructed in the 1920s and 1930s and otherpre-war buildings, particularly those designed byJ.E.R. Carpenter andRosario Candela.[11] The building includes features often found in pre-war buildings, such as aporte-cochère, setbacks, and a brick and Indiana limestone façade. In 2019 the building won the distinguished Stanford White Award for residential architecture.[12]
The building is the last in New York City to incorporate wood-burning fireplaces after New York City banned new ones in 2014.[13][14] Other amenities include a gym, library, billiards room, poker room, 9,000 bottle wine cellar, private dining room, spa, kid's playroom, and storage facilities.[14]
