Description

Located between East 63rd and 64th Streets, 1161 First Avenue stands at the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, one of New York City’s most affluent and densely populated neighborhoods. This highly visible retail building features a full-glass façade and over 56 feet of continuous street frontage, offering exceptional branding and signage opportunities in a corridor known for its vibrant pedestrian activity.

The property is surrounded by a dynamic mix of residential buildings, educational institutions, and world-renowned medical centers including Memorial Sloan Kettering, Weill Cornell Medical Center, and Rockefeller University. The Browning School’s new campus is just around the corner, contributing to steady daytime traffic from students, faculty, and families.

Tenants benefit from proximity to major retail anchors such as Trader Joe’s, CVS, and T.J.Maxx, as well as a growing mix of boutique service providers and wellness-focused businesses. The building is currently home to Satori Lasor, Vein Clinic, a nail salon, and Amerivet (coming soon), creating a synergistic environment for health, beauty, and lifestyle concepts.

Transit access is excellent, with nearby F and Q subway lines and multiple bus routes including M15, M31, M57, Q32, Q60, and Q101. The location also offers convenient access to the Queensboro Bridge and FDR Drive, making it easily reachable from Midtown, Long Island City, and Roosevelt Island.
