Douglas Elliman Appoints New Sales Team for Malabar Residences at 126 East 57th Street

Douglas Elliman Development Marketing has tapped Maria Mainieri as Sales Director for Malabar Residences, overseeing a select team of top Douglas Elliman agents—Alexander Boriskin, Jane Powers, Michael Lorber, Neelam Katara, and Gilad Azaria. The team will manage exclusive sales and marketing for the new Midtown Manhattan development, developed by MRR Development in partnership with international developer Zahi Hagag.

Located at the crossroads of Billionaires’ Row and the Upper East Side, Malabar Residences will feature 145 finely appointed homes ranging from studios to three bedrooms, with over half offering private loggias and terraces—an increasingly rare amenity in the city’s core. The building’s design by ODA emphasizes light, scale, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, while amenities include an indoor pool, fitness center by Technogym, steam room, sauna, and an indoor half-court basketball and pickleball court. Outdoor offerings span a rooftop retreat with an outdoor kitchen, a landscaped terrace with a media screen, and a serene garden adjacent to the children’s playroom.

With sales now underway and initial closings expected in early 2026, Malabar Residences is poised to become one of Midtown’s most anticipated luxury addresses. Combining architectural sophistication, expansive amenities, and the expertise of Douglas Elliman’s newly appointed sales team, the development signals a bold new addition to Manhattan’s evolving residential skyline.
