GRAMERCY
PARK
This property was erected
by Bing & Bing as the Gramercy
Park Hotel at 2 Lexington Avenue
in 1925 and was designed by Robert
T. Lyons.
Overlooking Gramercy
Park, which is private and locked
and open only to residents of
buildings facing it, the property
has an interesting history as the
residence of famous writers such
as S. J. Perelman, Edmund Wilson
and Mary McCarthy,and as the site
of Humphrey Bogart’s wedding in
1926 and of a several-month-stay
shortly after it opened by Joseph P.
Kennedy and his family including
the 11-year-old John F. Kennedy,
Jr. Babe Ruth often drank at the
hotel’s bar.
The developers of this
project are Ian Schrager, a founding
partner of Studio 54, the legendary
disco, and subsequently of the
Morgans Hotel Group, and Aby
Rosen, a real estate investor whose
1
portfolio includes the Seagram’s
and Lever House buildings on Park
Avenue.
The residential section
of the project, which includes
about 180 hotel rooms, has 23
condominium apartments, many
with 18-foot-high ceilings, and a
key to the park.
The apartments ranged in price
initially from about $3.75 million
to $20 million and were designed by
John Pawson, who designed Calvin
Klein s shop on Madison Avenue
and 60th Street. The kitchens are
clad in American cherry wood,
satin-finished Varenna cabinetry
and double sinks designed by
Pawson. The master bathrooms
have deep, oversize tubs, travertine
basins and walk-in showers. All
apartments will have floor-to-
ceiling windows, park views and
white oak floors and many will

the façade. The building’s sculpted balconies are
terrific and powerful accents that force the eye to
dart about the façade, whose brickwork is quite
intricate. Few buildings have such dynamic visual
energy as created by these very bold though small
projecting elements. According to Andrew Scott
Dolkart, in his book, “Gramercy, Its Architectural
Surroundings, Preserving the Neighborhood’s
Important Contributing Buildings,” (Gramercy
Neighborhood Associates, Inc., 1996), Pelham
“exploited the requirements of the zoning law to
create an exuberant design with dramatic setbacks
and a striking rooftop pavilion surrounding the
water tower.”
Many apartments have impressive views
south because the building across 19th Street is
only 5 stories tall. The building was originally
built in 1929 with 107 apartments and now has
102. It was converted to a cooperative in 1982. It
is one block south of Gramercy Park and close to
the many famous restaurants of the area and the
Flatiron District.
