One Beacon Court is New York’s most prestigious new Upper
East Side residential address. Finely sculpted from glass
and steel, the reflective surfaces produce a brilliant display
of luminous effects. An elliptical shaped light-filled courtyard,
inspired by the curves of the Pantheon, provides you with
an oasis of exclusivity and security. A private lobby entrance
from the court leads to your home high above the most
incredible city in the world. Prominently positioned, there
are panoramic views in every direction.

Beacon Court is located at the epicenter of Manhattan
where the sophistication of the Upper East Side meets the
rhythms of Midtown. Stroll to the city’s finest hotels, shops,
restaurants, art galleries, museums and through Central Park.
A wealth of choices will satisfy your every whim and desire.

U N F O R G E T T A B L E V I E W S

With floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, One Beacon Court
has been designed to allow residents to enjoy the most
unforgettable views. These well proportioned condominium
homes feature views that embrace Central Park, both rivers
and all of Manhattan.

Internationally renowned architect Cesar Pelli, has created
a modern masterpiece with Beacon Court. Recognized
for his subtle sculpted designs, Pelli’s stunning architecture
has been woven into the fabric of such diverse capital cities
as Washington D.C., London, Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur.

This one is coming along nicely. I like the curved part near beacon court.

Very cool pictures. I thought it was only 806ft though.

whoa i didn't know they were this much unfinished..

^^they are pretty much done, the first pictures must have been from a little while ago. They still have inside work to do, but the building has been topped out for quite some time

the penthouse doesnt seems so big. How many sq meters?

^^That's a penthouse. :eek:

Damn, who owns that prime piece of property?

whenever see some updates in NY, i have to check it out.Realli good building, with AMAZING curved part at the entrance:)

Really*

Looks good. I have to visit it next time I go to New York.

that's one craaazy penthouse!

im not sure if i'll like the feeling of being cooped up in a giant glass box though...

great tower, although i normally don't like boxy towers

I dont really like this much, the ledges on each floor make it look lumpy, would have been better as a sheer face I think.

How much is 856 ft in metres? :?

Looks quite good.

^856 ft is 261 meters

Great buiding! I like the facade in blue glass!

I used to like Pelli's towers,however, this one is an exception.Apart from the base,the rest of the structure doesn't appeal me.

very nice, like it

I read somewhere on at SSP that the 856 ft height is the height above sea level, and the height from the ground is actually 806 ft (246 m)

is it just me or is this towers facade and design almost the same as Sydney lattitude tower (also recently completed)

This is a beautiful tower! The glass and setbacks look terrific.:)

I love this tower, especially the curved base. I must return to NY on a visit and see this beauty in person

looking good :)

ok guess no one saw my post.....

It is very similar Peter... i notced that at first too...

I wish I could afford to live in NYC!

The penthouses (2 per floor on 54 and 55) are very nice (hardwood floors, fancy cupboards, nice appliances) but it is the SINGLE penthouse on FL 53 that is incredible. One whole floor. Wow.

Talk about your views!!

(heard it was about $27M for that apartment.)

CD

27 m? sounds too low..i bet is higher ! $$$$$$

well, that's what I was told. Could be more...
Monthly condo fees are $16,000.

(Did I mention the floor to ceiling window in the walk-in closet? A skyscraper fan should have this place.)

Some pics I took of the tower months ago:

The tall construction crane is no longer there, the building's pretty much completed now.
