Yorkville Blog
Upper East Side New York City

Yesterday was a nice sunny day and a great opportunity to take some photos of the area. Here's the site of the Brompton condos on 86th and 3rd ave.

The Robert A M Stern designed condominium building being built by Related Sales now has a website. They're calling it The Brompton.

The site has almost no details except:

• They expect a fall 2008 occupancy
• It will have studios, 1, 2, 3, 4, bedrooms and penthouses
• "Traditional yet modern interior"
• And they really like calling it "Proper". Perhaps they're trying to conjure up images of the more old-money section of the neighborhood, but truth is that area is a couple blocks to the west near Park and 5th Ave.

The construction project on 86th and 3rd is finally underway. After sitting abandoned for months, there is a sudden furious amount of activity at the intersection. Scalfolding is going up and the building, located in the heart of Yorkville, is coming down. Demolition crews went to work on it first thing in the morning.
