Situated perfectly in the heart of the Upper East Side is 1289 Lexington, a collection of luxury condominiums with elegant amenities hiding in plain sight. Helmed by Zeckendorf Development, one of Manhattan’s most prominent real estate developers with a portfolio of world-renowned residential buildings, the expansive residences at 1289 Lexington provide what’s often lacking in Manhattan apartments: space.
1289 Lexington is moments from all that is great on the East side of Manhattan. Whether residents want to stop by a boutique store or cafe right around the corner, or walk a few blocks to Manhattan’s famed Central Park or Metropolitan Museum of Art, there is no shortage of culture and excitement right outside the door. Central to all transportation, residents looking to explore outside the neighborhood can be on the Upper West Side or at Grand Central Terminal in five minutes, with easy access on public or private transportation to any neighborhood in Manhattan.
All of the homes at 1289 Lexington, which range from two to five bedrooms, feature open-plan living with large rooms and abundant closets, providing space for every season’s wardrobe. Designed by celebrated design firm SheltonMindel, the homes encompass loft-like proportions with floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the homes with light, creating bright, peaceful sanctuaries. Spacious and elegant custom kitchens have been outfitted with chef-grade Gaggenau appliances, with spaces featuring ample storage thanks to rows of custom walnut cabinets, with added space for food prep and presentation on the polished Glassos countertops and Calacatta Calvani marble island.
Catering to the needs of today’s buyers, 1289 Lexington provides an array of private residential amenities that encompass all aspects of wellness, relaxation, entertaining, and business. A fully equipped gym with a complete suite of machines features sparkling light and a terrace where residents can take a break from a workout to get a breath of fresh air. The fitness center design experts at The Wright Fit utilized the best modern equipment—including a Pilates Reformer, treadmills, weights, and bands—to create a space where residents can achieve their fitness and wellness goals.
For the younger residents, creative exploration and expression have a plush home at 1289 Lexington. The whimsical children’s playroom, designed by Silver Hill Atelier, offers a fantastic alternative to Central Park, complete with its own takes on the famous Belvedere Castle and Central Park Zoo animal carousel clock.
In the soundproof music and multimedia room, cool couches, black-and-gold textured walls, and ambient lighting make for an intimate studio session vibe, with a piano for keying one’s way to a new sound and a green screen for graphic accompaniment. In the music studio, residents’ next karaoke night or birthday event will be epic while younger residents will be able to discover and nurture their musical talents.
Inspiration and focus make for higher learning and concentration in 1289 Lexington’s work pods. Colorful paintings stimulate, while ergonomic chairs sit behind built-in desks topped with study lamps. With solo and group pods to choose from, it’s an ideal solution for remote sessions and for group study with a pod squad of fellow pupils. Best of all, the area is easily interchangeable to host private teleconference calls or a place to work in peace. The windowed conference room has seating for eight with teleconferencing capabilities for family gatherings or work collaborations and is ideal for both in-person and remote meetings.
The resident’s lounge at 1289 Lexington, an exceptionally tranquil space created by Architectural Digest Hall of Fame Designer Lee Mindel, manages to be both elegant and relaxed, with an easy flow of indoor and outdoor living on the adjacent landscaped terrace. Whether residents want to play billiards or chess, reserve the space for a catered event with family and friends, or just relax and read in a cozy corner, SheltonMindel has created a space that residents can use as an extension of their already luxurious private living space.
