Situated at the southeast corner of East 20th Street and Third Avenue, just steps from the iconic Gramercy Park, 200E20TH is a harmonious blend of minimalist design and bold architectural expression.

Susan de França, President and CEO of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, captures the essence of 200E20TH: "It's a privilege to present a project that embodies the spirit of Gramercy, where the city's rich history and vibrant present meet. 200E20TH is not just a building; it's a celebration of this unique neighborhood's legacy and future."

Elena Sarkissian, a veteran in luxury real estate with over 20 years of experience, leads the sales and marketing efforts. She brings her expertise from previous successful projects, including the $700-million 108 Leonard in Tribeca. Sarkissian emphasizes the building's organic fit within Gramercy's aesthetic, noting, "200E20TH is designed to seamlessly integrate into the neighborhood, reflecting the park's elegance in its landscaped spaces and bronze exterior, while offering sophisticated and timeless interiors."

The residences boast Italian White Oak wide-plank floors, panoramic windows, and state-of-the-art VRF heating and cooling systems. The kitchens are equipped with Miele appliances, Calacatta Oro marble countertops, and custom White Oak cabinets. The primary baths feature Perla Venata Quartzite tile floors, Bianco Dolomiti marble walls, and polished-nickel fixtures, while the secondary baths and powder rooms are equally luxurious.

The amenities at 200E20TH are curated for the ultimate urban living experience. The modern lobby, residents' lounge with a linear fireplace, the tranquil Secret Garden, and the fully landscaped rooftop terrace with an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, all contribute to a lifestyle of elegance and comfort.
