The elevator cabins mirror the elegant aesthetic of the lobby, luxuriously transporting residents to their private landings. With a full-time doorman and a prime location near the city's finest galleries, museums, boutiques, restaurants, and schools, 40 East 72nd Street stands among the most distinguished addresses on the Upper East Side, offering an unparalleled living experience in one of the world's most sought-after neighborhoods.
