223 E 50th ST

This pre-war elevator building is located in the heart of Midtown East on 50th St between Second and Third Avenues. This co-op building has an approval process that is easier than most. Purchasers only need to put down 10% and can rent out their unit after one year. Pied-à-terre allowed, and parents are even able to buy for their children; something often looked down upon by co-op boards.

Affordable units are available for sale and for rent. The building’s greatest appeal is the ease of approval. Each unit differs in terms of renovations and upgrades.
