NEW YORK, NY – Beckford House & Tower – two complementary residential buildings on the Upper East Side developed by Icon Realty Management, with sales led by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing – have announced the launch of three, new marquee penthouses crowning the top of Beckford Tower. The release of the listings coincides with news that the development has reached over $478 million in sales to date, surpassing 85 percent sold. With closings already underway at Beckford House & Tower, Beckford Tower is scheduled to complete construction this summer.
Designed by award-winning, AD100 design firm Studio Sofield to reinterpret classical architectural for modern living, the newly introduced penthouses at Beckford Tower represent the ultimate opportunity for luxury living on the Upper East Side. Balancing grand scale and proportions, each penthouse features private elevator entry that leads into a gracious entry foyer and gallery. Additionally, the homes showcase extraordinary light-filled living spaces with 13’+ ceilings and large windows, setback private terraces with breathtaking views, and a separate Christopher Peacock-design eat-in kitchen with adjoining breakfast room. Incredibly spacious corner primary bedroom suites enjoy private terraces, generous dressing rooms and a fully equipped wet bar, while primary bathrooms boast Statuary marble countertops and walls, and flooring with a Versilia accent border and Statuary marble mosaic field.
Penthouse 29, listed for $29 million, is an extraordinary 6,522-square-foot home with six bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms and 193 square feet of private outdoor space. Penthouse 30, listed for $30 million, spans 5,452 square feet and offers six bedrooms, seven-and-a-half bathrooms and three private terraces totaling 893 square feet. The 4,141-square-foot Penthouse 31, priced at $20 million, crowns the top of the tower with four bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, and three private terraces totaling 634 square feet. All penthouses feature panoramic views from Central Park to the East River and Midtown Manhattan.
“We saved the best for last, as these three penthouses at Beckford Tower are really the crown jewels of the project,” said Todd Cohen, a principal at Icon Realty Management. “They mark the final phase of our sales campaign, and represent the incredible success we’ve had since launching. It’s been amazing to see how positively our vision for these two complementary buildings has been received.”
“With sellout now in sight, we are proud to offer this stunning collection of penthouses to the Upper East Side’s most discerning buyers,” said Terrence Lowenberg, a principal at Icon Realty Management. “Releasing the penthouses at Beckford Tower comes at an exciting time for the development where we are now beyond 85 percent sold. We have set a new sales pace for the neighborhood and have proved that buyers are craving high-quality craftsmanship. As natives of the Upper East Side, we understand the unique needs and desires of the community, and we are proud to have created two buildings that resonate with Upper East Side buyers.
Offering a compelling blend of the classical and the contemporary, the penthouses comprise the last round of inventory available at Beckford House & Tower, a development significant for its incredible sales performance in the city’s most historic neighborhood. The two ground-up new icons have consistently dominated the Manhattan real estate market ever since launching in October 2019, surpassing the aforementioned $478 million in total sales to date. Beckford House & Tower are the ideal destination for Upper East Side living, thoughtfully selected by buyers for their focus on craftsmanship, expansive living spaces and old-world elegance. The buildings have completely transformed an entire corner of the Upper East Side, introducing handsome and timeless designs to the market that are rarely seen in new development today.
“Beckford House & Tower are the prime examples of what buyers in today’s market are demanding,” said Barbara Russo, the sales director at the development. “They love that they can have a classic design aesthetic and gracious layouts with modern amenities and services. The concept has spurred a sales velocity that we haven’t seen in years, and we anticipate that this traffic will only increase as Beckford Tower nears completion and its stunning amenity spaces are unveiled.”
The highly anticipated amenities at Beckford Tower will be revealed when the building is completed and will be located on the first floor and two lower levels of the building. Residents will experience over 17,000 square feet of private club-like spaces including an elegant reception room and library; an exclusive piano bar and lounge that looks and feels like a private members club; a fully equipped game room; a children’s playroom designed by Roto; and a party room with a catering kitchen. Beckford Tower touts an exquisite collection of wellness amenities highlighted by a double-height basketball half-court, fitness center, yoga and training studios and a 65-foot indoor swimming pool. The Art Deco-inspired pool area, complete with a hot tub, relaxation area, steam room and changing rooms, is artfully designed by Studio Sofield with a glass ceiling, ornate metal detailing, potted palms and a custom glass mosaic wall mural.
Sales at Beckford House & Tower are managed exclusively by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, with current availability starting at $2.35 million. Beckford House, which began closings last winter, is almost completely sold out with only one listing remaining: Penthouse 18, a $9.5 million, full-floor residence with private entry that offers four bedrooms and 3,371 square feet of space.
