The Jonathan W. Allen Stable Building is an historic, singular two-story carriage house built in 1871. Two ornate side entrances flank a commanding central carriage entrance with solid oak double doors; an airy rooftop caps two renovated floors; and a finished cellar level adds to this unmatched opportunity to create a truly world-class, multi-concept/experiential hospitality or retail powerhouse. 

Nearing completion of a full structural and interior restoration/renovation, the building will be primed for its next noteworthy incarnation. The first and second floors are designed as a mix of hospitality space — including a gracious parlor/clubroom and a series of boutique guest rooms with skylights and luxury shower bays; a lofted cellar level with commercial occupancy; and a finished roof deck with views of the courtyard plaza below.

In an area otherwise dominated by a stark architectural aesthetic, The J.W. Allen Building’s French Second Empire style façade is a beacon of position and splendor. Bordered by the Chrysler Building, the U.N. Headquarters, numerous consulates and diplomatic missions, and serviced by the 4, 5, 6, 7, and S trains at Grand Central Terminal, this property presents a preeminent  opportunity to craft a legacy of elegance in repose — a space conceived for international renown as a confluence of style and fellowship.
