The Clare – 301 East 61st Street

Light filled and elegant, The Clare combines functional living with outstanding design and luxury.

Architecture

Developed by REID and designed by Manuel Glas Architects to create the light-filled public and private spaces in the middle of New York City, The Clare is truly a one of a kind building. With limestone, glass, and panels designed by Porcelanosa making up the façade, the Clare almost glows in the sunlight.

Residences

Residences have been designed with every luxury in mind. Floor to ceiling windows in both the living area and bedrooms let in as much light as possible while specially designed ‘fins’ on the exterior of the building provide privacy without compromising the incredible view.

White oak floors made from seven inch wide planks and featuring radiant heating make the space even brighter, a palette rounded out with cool greys and whites. LED lighting and multi-zone heating and cooling round out the creature comforts of the common spaces. Duplex units feature up to 18 feet ceilings, and all units come with fully equipped kitchens, with custom Poggenpohl cabinetry, quartz-topped counters and islands, and appliances from Miele.

In the bathrooms, white reigns supreme with Carrara Blanco-style floor and tiled walls from Porcelanosa, complemented by Watermark fixtures and in the 5-fixture master baths, the Kohler soaking tub. Quartz countertops tie the look to the rest of the house and rain showerheads provide a relaxing and functional experience.

For the penthouse, the developers went one step further, outfitting the kitchen with Bianco Dolomiti counters and using Calacatta gold marble tiles in the bathroom.

Amenities

The amenities are focused on the 13^th floor and, true to the vision of beautiful private and public space, are second to none. The 12-foot floor to ceiling windows makes it light and bright for residents, who can enjoy a fitness and wellness center, the ample dining and living areas, entertainment areas, an 800 square foot patio, and walnut and stainless steel detailing. Residents also enjoy a beautiful 24/7 concierge and cold and bike storage.

Prices start at $820,000 for the 563 square foot studio and increase to $1.4 million for a 1-bed 2-bath 900 square foot unit. They cap at $3.1 million for a 1,600 (+124 exterior) square foot 2-bed 2-bath unit on the 7^th floor.

Neighborhood

Right at the crux of the Upper East Side and Midtown, The Clare sites at the very heart of the classic New York shopping district. Surrounded by Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel, and Tiffany & Co., it doesn’t get much more NYC.

Beyond these sprawling shopping destinations exists plenty of local cultures, restaurants, boutiques, and cultural hubs. Plus, with quick and easy access to the FDR Drive and 59^th Street Bridge, getting out of the city is quick and easy.
