Monogram New York, Ismael Leyva Architects

Monogram New York, a striking new addition to East 47th Street, brings 191 luxury residences to the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Rising 35 stories, the development is a contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco movement that shaped much of New York’s skyline. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects, with interiors by the internationally acclaimed Neri&Hu, Monogram New York is a thoughtful blend of historical inspiration and modern design tailored for today’s urban lifestyle.

The Art Deco era was marked by bold innovation, where architects and designers explored new forms, materials, and aesthetics. Monogram New York reflects this legacy through its tonal patterns and refined detailing, taking cues from the elegance of the 1920s and 1930s. Ismael Leyva Architects has reimagined these influences for the modern age, creating a structure that seamlessly integrates clean lines and contemporary elements with timeless design principles.

The verticality of the building, combined with its proportionality and tonal façade, ensures that Monogram New York complements its surroundings while standing out as a modern landmark. The building offers a range of layouts, from studios to two-bedroom residences. Each home is designed to create a sense of calm amidst the city’s energy, with vertical lines and warm materials that evoke comfort and simplicity. For its interiors, Monogram New York turned to Neri&Hu, a design practice known for its global perspective and meticulous attention to detail. Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu bring their first New York project to life with a focus on natural materials, functional layouts, and understated luxury.

The residences feature oversized windows that flood spaces with natural light and provide views of the East River and Manhattan’s iconic skyline. Bathrooms are crafted with Italian Salvatori marble and custom vanities, while kitchens combine honed Calacatta Monet marble countertops with fluted light oak cabinetry and high-performance appliances from Gaggenau and Bosch. Every element has been thoughtfully curated to balance beauty with practicality.

For those seeking the pinnacle of luxury, Monogram New York’s penthouse collection features private outdoor spaces and panoramic views of the surrounding city. These homes include elevated finishes and fixtures, offering a sophisticated retreat above the bustle of Midtown Manhattan. The Sphere Club, a 3,500-square-foot rooftop lounge, serves as a haven for residents, featuring terraces, a reading room with a fireplace, a private dining room with a catering kitchen, and an intimate bar.

Wellness is another key focus. The in-house spa services and a state-of-the-art fitness center create an environment that supports both physical and mental well-being. Residents are welcomed home through a secluded canopied entrance that leads to a library lounge, open 24 hours and attended by a dedicated concierge team. LIVunLtd provides full-time concierge services, from arranging private chefs and event planning to coordinating travel and housekeeping. This level of personalized service ensures that every resident’s needs are met with care and precision.

Located just steps from Grand Central Station, Monogram New York is at the heart of Midtown’s vibrant cultural and historic scene. The Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue’s luxury boutiques are all within walking distance. Residents have easy access to world-class dining, entertainment, and shopping, whether strolling along the streets or catching a subway from one of the city’s most iconic transit hubs. Monogram New York’s proximity to the United Nations and Midtown’s cultural institutions further enhances its appeal. Sales will be led by Ariel Tirosh and the Alicia Dong team with Jordan Shea as Director of Sales.
