NYC Rental Apartments near Complex Model School Project

The Lower East Side features some of the New York City's hippest shopping destinations and best restaurants, a nightlife scene that ranges from cool dives to exclusive nightspots to cutting-edge music venues. What the LES did not have, until 2008, was a top-tier luxury rental building. That changed when the Ludlow opened on the bustling corner of Ludlow Street and East Houston Street. The Ludlow instantly became a Lower East Side landmark, thanks to an eye-catching design by architect Costas Kondylis, but it also rocketed to the top of any list of elite Lower East Side luxury rentals.

Following the trend of revitalization and gentrification of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, The Stanton at 196 Stanton Street expands the borders of the luxury apartment scene and nudges new rental expansion ever-closer to the East River. Located on Stanton Street between Attorney and Ridge Streets, The Stanton is a mere block away from Hamilton Fish Park and close to the shops, clubs and fine dining of East Houston Street and the Lower East Side.

157 Suffolk Street, located between Houston and Stanton, has been reinvented as a high-end residential rental property. The six-story tenement building’s brick exterior invokes the Lower East Side’s past. The walk-up apartment building features 33 units, many of which are currently vacant.

The brickwork from the exterior continues within the building as apartments have expose brick walls. Each unit at 157 Suffolk Street also features 10 ‘ceilings and hard wood floors. Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops also highlight each apartment.
