THE PROPERTY
The Alexander exemplifies modern luxury. Conveniently located in Turtle Bay, which has seen a recent spurt in luxury condo developments, there is nothing that comes close to the groundbreaking aesthetic of this sleek 24-story condo building. The condo high-rise features an artfully done glass tube-like corner section, making for sun-drenched rooms and covetable floor-to-ceiling windows. Ceilings that soar at nearly 12 feet complement the loft-like apartment interiors, which boast all the latest appliances and finishes and with only 88 apartments, The Alexander offers privacy and quiet. To boot, the location of this building truly cannot be beat in terms of all-around convenience. Shopping (Bloomingdale’s, Henri Bendel), restaurants (Fig and Olive, Fuchsia), bars (Four Seasons, Sutton Terrace), some of the world’s top public and private schools, the UN, public parks, subways, and buses going in every direction are just a stone throw away from The Alexander’s doorstep.

ABOUT THE LOCAL AREA
Manhattan's Midtown East
Midtown East
Midtown East extends west to Fifth Ave and east to the East River, from 42nd to 57th St. The area between between 42nd and 53rd Streets, and eastward from Lexington Ave, is considered Turtle Bay. Midtown East has long been the hottest commercial area in the country.
The Midtown East lifestyle can maybe best be summed up by a few iconic names...
* The Chrysler Building
* Central Park
* Bloomingdale's
* Grand Central Terminal
* St. Patrick's Cathedral
* The Time-Warner Center
* Lexington Avenue
This is the center of the world, and there's nothing like owning a Midtown East home. Much of Midtown East makes up the Plaza District, home to some of New York's (and therefore the world's) most desirable real estate.
