Positioned between the charm of Sutton Place and the energy of Midtown, 240 East 55th Street is one of those rare Manhattan addresses where everything feels close. Enjoy easy access to Central Park, the East River, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, neighborhood cafés and restaurants, and multiple subway lines and transportation options.

240 East 55th Street is a sought-after cooperative offering doorman service, a live-in superintendent, porter service, common laundry facilities, and storage and bike storage for shareholders.

The building offers attractive ownership flexibility, including unlimited subletting after one year of ownership, pied-à-terre use, gifting, guarantors, and the ability to purchase through certain trusts and entities, all subject to board approval. Financing is permitted up to 75%, and there is no flip tax.
