Overview
About The Club at Turtle Bay, 236 East 47th Street
This 40-story, midblock, condominium tower, which is cantilevered six-and-a-half feet at its 14th floor over the adjacent Vanderbilt Branch of the YMCA of Greater New York building, faces, across the street, the famous townhouses that share a large common garden with similar townhouses on East 48th Street.
The YMCA branch, which was originally called the Railroad YMCA because train crews from Grand Central Terminal occupied many of its 432 rooms, has space on the first five floors and the basement and subbasement levels of the tower, which bought its air rights.
The tower's midblock location affords it unusual midtown views in all directions except to the east where Dag Hammarskjold Tower, a very and tall attractive apartment tower, is at the corner.
This 173-unit tower is setback a bit on its base to match up with the cornice nice of the mid-rise building to its west. The tower itself is plain and simple except for a chamfered northwest corner, but its window pattern is very strong and quite elegant. The lower two floors of the base are clad in limestone to match the base of the building to the west.
The building was designed by Liebman Liebman Associates P.C., for Magma Equities Co., and the Hakimian Organization. It has a health club and pool, a sundeck but no garage.
