“With equal parts rigor and romance, the design of THE 74 elevates New York living to exceptional new heights.”

THE RESIDENCES

Elevated, indulging and undeniably evolved, the residences of THE 74 offer new allure for those who value the timeless legacy of Upper East Side living. Offering 42 individual residences—ranging from two-bedrooms to five-bedrooms, and offering duplex, full-floor and penthouse opportunities—living quarters at THE 74 have been edited to perfection. As imagined by interior designer Rafael de Cárdenas, classic White Oak parquet floors and custom millwork respond to contemporary cues, answering the dynamic exterior with equally enlightened interiors: gracious entry galleries, airy living rooms and dramatic sight lines. From signature full-height windows, take in views of Central Park or the necklace of lights spanning the East River—Manhattan is yours.

THE KITCHENS

At THE 74, kitchens have been created to complement the building’s lightness: in mood, in materials, and in function. Sunlit cooking spaces are conveniently located near dining areas. High-performance Miele appliances are integrated within custom Ash wood cabinetry for a polished look. Beneath custom fluted glass doors, Bianco Ice marble islands and countertops bring the Art Deco spirit of the building indoors—and right into the hands of its residents.

THE BATHROOMS

A sense of luxury and material richness defines the bathing experience at THE 74. In the sunlit primary bathroom, Calacatta Vagli marble in a honed finish blankets floors warmed with radiant heating; soaking tubs and fully enclosed marble showers feature Dornbracht fittings. In the secondary bathroom and powder room, similarly elegant choices include fine European porcelain and Pink Namibia marble.

The luxury of full-height windows in the primary bathroom highlights walls and floors of creamy Calacatta Vagli honed marble and a custom Sycamore vanity.

In a secondary bathroom fully lined in European porcelain, Didimon Light marble encircles the tub deck and a vanity fitted with Dornbracht polished chrome fixtures.

THE BEDROOMS

In an extension of the high-touch, high-function spirit of THE 74, bedrooms display enhanced texture and performance. Wide-plank hardwood flooring in European White Oak is soft underfoot, awaiting a silk carpet or mohair runner. Drapery and shade pockets surmount signature floor-to-ceiling windows fabricated in Italy. At bedside, a subtle sleeping cove welcomes varied approaches to lighting and furnishing—optimizing conditions for your perfect night’s rest.

FULL-FLOOR RESIDENCES

For a certain audience, the choice of a Full-Floor residence at THE 74
is clear: only maximum privacy and a wraparound view will do.
Lofty locations on floors 23 to 30, where ceiling heights top13 feet,
translate to morning light in the bedrooms, sunsets from the spacious kitchen,
and luminous, all-day exposures for the living area and artfully contained
primary suite. These are interiors where timeless luxuries—soaking tubs,
city views, a perfectly-scaled collector’s gallery—meet glorious necessities.

THE DUPLEX RESIDENCES

World within worlds, the Duplex Residences unfold seamlessly and discreetly over two floors, providing dramatic contrast between meticulously finished bedrooms and bathrooms, gallery-like entertaining areas and private outdoor spaces—the ultimate luxury in high-rise living. With such gracious distinctions between public and private, the Duplex Residences designed by Rafael de Cárdenas Ltd. usher the refinement of townhouse living into the 21^st century at an enviably-proportioned scale. They amount to some of the building’s most spacious and amenity-rich offerings—true sanctuaries in all four seasons.

With East-facing French doors, the open kitchen and dining area beckon morning light.
