The Upper East Side, Manhattan's crown jewel, has long been synonymous with classic architecture and refined living. But times change, and so do design trends. In a recent Mansion Global article, a fascinating shift is highlighted: a move away from the ubiquitous glass towers and towards a resurgence of elegant, timeless design in new developments.
New development on the Upper East Side is drawing inspiration from the neighborhoods architectural history, characterized by limestone facades, elements of pre-war design, and ornate detail. These new buildings are meant to fit seamlessly into their neighborhood surroundings as opposed to being the “tower” you immediately notice.
