Beckford House & Tower by Icon Realty Mgmt. reaches 97% sold

Manhattan, NY Beckford House & Tower—two complementary residential buildings developed by Icon Realty Management, with sales led by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing—have reached 97% sold on the Upper East Side. The milestone marks the sellout of Beckford House, the boutique condominium at 301 East 80^th St., with only three penthouse residences available at Beckford Tower at 301 East 81^st St.

The success of Beckford House & Tower underscores the timeless appeal of classic architecture on the Upper East Side. The transformative development by award-winning design firm Studio Sofield combines craftsmanship with living spaces and old-world elegance.

“Beckford House & Tower are the perfect blend of classic and contemporary, and feature expansive floor plans and finishes that you rarely see in new developments,” said Todd Cohen, a principal at Icon Realty Management. “We felt this concept would resonate well with buyers on the Upper East Side, and the swift sellout of Beckford House tells us that the market was not only ready, but eager for a project that combines these sensibilities.”

“We are proud to offer penthouses that celebrate the traditions of classical architecture and return grandeur to New York apartments,” said Terrence Lowenberg, a principal at Icon Realty Management. “Studio Sofield has ushered in a second Golden Age of architecture with this project, and the penthouse collection at Beckford Tower exemplifies this design vision. These exclusive homes feature extraordinary proportions, gracious outdoor space, as well as panoramic views that overlook the Upper East Side neighborhood, Central Park, and the East River. Few buildings in the area have combined classic design with grand living in this way. This is modern Upper East Side living at its finest.”

The final listings on the market at Beckford House & Tower are also the development’s finest. They are the three marquee penthouses at Beckford Tower designed by Studio Sofiel. Penthouse 29 is a 6,522 s/f home with six bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms and 193 s/f of private outdoor space. Penthouse 30 spans 5,452 s/f and offers six bedrooms, seven-and-a half bathrooms and three private terraces totaling 893 s/f. The 4,141 s/f Penthouse 31 crowns the top of the tower with four bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, and three private terraces totaling 634 s/f. All the penthouses are move-in ready and feature panoramic views from Central Park to the East River and Midtown Manhattan.

Balancing grand scale and proportions, the Beckford Tower penthouses feature private elevator entries that lead into entry foyers and galleries. The homes light-filled living spaces have 13’+ ceilings and large windows, setback private terraces with views of the city and Central Park, and separate Christopher Peacock-design eat-in kitchens with adjoining breakfast rooms. The corner primary bedroom suites include private terraces, dressing rooms and fully equipped wet bars, while primary bathrooms boast Statuary marble countertops and walls, and flooring with a Versilia accent border and Statuary marble mosaic field.

“They are the penthouses that all other Upper East Side penthouses aspire to be,” said William Sofield, the founder and principal of Studio Sofield.

Residents have access to amenities at Beckford Tower, which are located on the first floor and two lower levels of the building. Residents can experience over 17,000 s/f of private club-like spaces including a reception room and library; a piano bar and lounge that looks and feels like a private members club; a fully equipped game room; a children’s playroom designed by Roto; and a party room featuring brass finishes, a luxurious, warm color palette and an adjoined catering kitchen for convenience. Beckford Tower also has many wellness amenities from a double-height basketball half-court and fitness center to yoga and training studios and a 65-ft. indoor swimming pool. The Art Deco-inspired pool area, complete with a hot tub, relaxation area, steam room and changing rooms, is artfully designed by Studio Sofield with a glass ceiling, ornate metal detailing, potted palms and a custom glass mosaic wall mural.
