Construction has wrapped up at Lightstone’s 40 East End Avenue, a 20-story residential condo tower on the Upper East Side. Designed by Deborah Berke Partners with Gerner Kronick + Valcarcel Architects, the tower is clad in precast panels with brick as the primary exterior finish material and shaped precast concrete spandrels at floor slabs. Large casement windows, many of which include Juliette balconies, allow for generous light and views.
