The Lucida

The Lucida, located at 151 East 85th Street, offers something truly unique from any other condominium on the Upper East Side. The first condominium in the neighborhood to receive LEED Certification, being green has not detracted from the luxury of the building; if anything, green living has enhanced this luxury condominium listing.

The Lucida’s lobby makes fantastic use of reusable materials such as bamboo and cork, a rarity in New York City.

Luxury and green living continues within the apartments themselves. Oak floors line every single condo in the building and with all of the natural light coming in, the condominium's 10’ ceilings seem even higher. The large open floor plans at The Lucida also include state-of-the-art appliances in the kitchen as well as a large soaking tubs in the master bathrooms in addition to pristine bamboo cabinetry.
