Lower East Side: The Timelessness of 50 Clinton Street

After 50 Clinton Street was built and completed in 2016, I was immediately drawn to this development. Unlike many other new Condo projects in Manhattan, this resembles an old warehouse from the exterior. It combines old world charm with stunningly modern floor to ceiling windows. In fact, as a baseball fan, it reminded me of Camden Yards, the famed Oriole Stadium in Baltimore. This was a groundbreaking project to say the least.

Comprised of 37 boutique Condominium units , the idea was to evoke an industrial and residential feel that was present at the turn of the century. The expansive windows allow for natural light, while the lobby is outfitted in emerald marble to match a rare French limestone floor. The interior designer, Paris Forino, left no stone unturned with magnificent herringbone floors and elaborate marble bathrooms.

In the 1940s and 1950s, many immigrants settled on Clinton Street and the Lower East Side. Husbands, wives and families made their way from Europe to Ellis Island and found nearby lodging on Clinton Street. It was a different era, in many ways simpler than today. The famed Katz Deli, Gus Pickles, Russ & Daughters, Yonah Schimmels and others served a generation of people. This was old New York City at it’s finest. The idea that 50 Clinton Street would become a destination for luxury Condominiums seemed hard to believe so many years ago. And yet, that’s exactly what it is. The Lower East side is vibrant with culture, arts, hotels, restaurants and new condo developments. The historical merge of old and new makes 50 Clinton Street a special project.

Whenever I visit Essex, Delancey and East Houston Street, I stroll by 50 Clinton and marvel at the masonry facade. It’s unique and timeless.

The Consensus

While the Lower East Side is not for everyone, it has rapidly changed with a flurry of new Condo projects and easy access to the rest of the City via Subway, Uber or other. In fact, while many other neighborhoods in Manhattan have lost their identity, the Lower East Side only continues to get stronger and build upon something great.

Prices begin at $1.95 Million, which is a fair market value with the quality behind this project.
