The Lucida

The Lucida, 151 East 85th Street, is a new condominium located in New York City's Upper East Side, offering luxury apartments for sale. The Lucida has elevated the standard of modern green living within its luxury Manhattan apartments. It is the first building on the Upper East Side to be LEED certified, and boasts environmentally concious green features such as air filtration, low VOC products and recycling of a minium of 75% of construction waste. The Lucida remarkably gained Leed points for having such easy access to public transportation; it is less than a block to the 4, 5 and 6 trains.

Upon entering the lobby, residents are greeted by a 10-foot fireplace with leather surround and 24-hour doorman. The Lucida's abounding amenities include a children's playroom exclusively designed by Kidville, a private wine cellar, fitness center and pool. Beautiful landscaping throughout the building is efficiently irrigated only with rainwater.

The spacious floor plans of the residences create a platform to accommodate any lifestyle or design sensibility. Russell Grove's effortless medley of classical elegance and soft-edged modernism is displayed in the living areas, which are accentuated by chocolate-stained solid oak floors, 10-foot ceilings and expansive windows. The ultra-sophisticated features extend to the high-end kitchens and baths.
