Manhattan House offering plan declared effective

According to O'Connor Capital Partners, the Real Estate Finance Bureau of the state of New York Office of the Attorney General has declared Manhattan House's (200 East 66th St.) offering plan effective. The attorney general has accepted for filing an amendment to the offering which authorizes formation of the condominium. Closing on residences under contract will therefore commence shortly. Manhattan House is Manhattan's premier condominium conversion project. This historic landmark was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1952 and is being restored to its stunning modern grandeur by SOM and a team of interior designers. Located on New York's Upper East Side, this grand Modernist icon offers expansive, family-sized condominiums and spacious pied-a-terres, along with one of the largest private residential gardens in the city.
