About 200 East 65th Street
One of the new bastions of Third Avenue, this imposing tower offers spectacular corner bay windows and a full panoply of luxury amenities.
The building was originally called the Milro Tower using the first three leaders of the last name of two of the developers, Paul and Seymour Milstein, and the initials of the third developer, the estate of Robert Olnick.
The 50-story tower, which was completed in late 1987, has a midblock, low-rise base whose roof houses a large health club and pool. The project, which contains 308 condominium apartments, was designed by Ulrich Franzen & Associates and Philip Birnbaum & Associates.
The proportions of the tower are excellent and the dark corner bay windows neatly frame its not unattractive composition. Some bay windows are the full height of the floors.
The building's lobby is sumptuous with very fine woods framed in gold, lots of mirrors and black lacquer columns. The elevator cabs are also paneled with fine woods and have vaulted ceilings.
The building's retail base on the avenue is very handsome and there is considerable sidewalk landscaping. The building has a doorman and concierge and offers many fine views.
This stretch of Third Avenue is very attractive and upscale with many luxury towers set in their own plazas.
