Cond Nast was one of the original tenants, and lived here in grand style until his death. It is a white-glove building, with full-time doorman, concierge, and resident manager. The building has a newly renovated lobby and a gym, and permits washer/dryers, pets, and pieds- -terre. The building is located on the 86th Street corridor, close to Central Park and the Reservoir, Museum Mile, the boutiques and restaurants of Madison Avenue, and abundant public transportation.
