A downtown loft, uptown. Archive Lofts is the Upper East Side's first true loft conversion - soaring ceilings, industrial bones, and Tribeca's rebellious character, reimagined steps from Fifth Avenue. A one-of-a-kind conversion of a historic former art warehouse, discreetly tucked into the Upper East Side just steps from Fifth Avenue and Central Park - Archive Lofts delivers something totally unexpected uptown: soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings, exposed character, and downtown atmosphere, at a fraction of what you'd pay for the same character below 14th Street. This boutique collection of just 35 residences is home to some of the finest-quality interiors in Manhattan, developed by Forkosh Development Group with interiors by Forkosh Design Group and architecture by C3D. And right at the building's doorstep: AIRE Ancient Baths, the renowned thermal bathing experience found in only a handful of cities worldwide - now part of the neighborhood's fabric. Residence 702 is a 3-bedroom + home office, 3-bathroom loft with private outdoor space spread across 3 balconies, and south, east, and west exposures. Eleven-foot barrel-vaulted ceilings and 10-inch wide-plank oak floors set the tone the moment you step off the keyed elevator into your private entry. The open kitchen - Miele appliance suite, Colorado marble waterfall island, SieMatic cabinetry, polished nickel Signature fixtures - flows into a 49-foot great room, where a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door opens onto the balcony and blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite offers an oversized walk-through closet and a spa-like bath with radiant heated floors, a deep soaking tub, a separate glass-walled shower, Venatto porcelain and Italian marble accents, and polished nickel fixtures. A versatile home office, a Miele washer-dryer, and radiant heat throughout the full baths round out the residence. Building amenities include a 24-hour attended lobby, fitness studio, bicycle storage, a resident lounge, and a furnished roof deck with a wet bar and outdoor grill. Private rooftop terraces are available for purchase. And just steps away: AIRE Ancient Baths, the renowned thermal bathing experience found in only a handful of cities worldwide - open to residents and the public alike, with the rare luxury of having it practically at your front door.
Apartment buildings in R8 districts can range from mid-rise, eight- to ten-story buildings to much taller buildings set back from the street on large zoning lots. This high density residential district is mapped along the Grand Concourse in the Bronx and on the edge of Brooklyn Heights. R8 districts are also widely mapped in Manhattan neighborhoods, such as Washington Heights. New buildings in R8 districts may be developed under either height factor regulations or the optional Quality Housing regulations that often reflect the older, pre-1961 neighborhood streetscape.
