Completion of exterior work on The Edison Gramercy, a 13-story residential building at 250 East 21st Street in Gramercy Park, Manhattan. Designed by Isaac & Stern Architects and developed by Urban Development Partners and SD Second Avenue Property, the building will offer 54 units in one to four bedroom layouts with interiors designed by Paris Forino. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing’s Eklund Gomes team is leading sales and marketing for the units, which range in price from $1.2 million to more than $6 million. Ross Associates is the general contractor for the property, located at the corner of East 21st Street and Second Avenue.
At the time of our last update in early June, exterior work was progressing behind a dense array of scaffolding and blue netting. This has now all been dismantled and shows the finished look of the Parisian style limestone facade, mansard roof lines, French balcony railings and window grille lined with white mullions.

Close-ups show the sunlight reflecting off the gleaming metal surface of the steeply pitched roofs, which are adorned with rows of arched windows. A secondary setback below the last floor is lined with glass railings and serves as a private patio for one of the houses. Almost every window on the eastern facade will receive ample natural light given the lack of tall buildings in the area. Residents on the top floors have panoramic west-facing views of the sunsets behind the Manhattan skyline.
