While located right outside the Treadwell Farms Historic District, a new building named in its honor pays respectful tribute to it: Newly revealed renderings for The Treadwell show an Art Deco-inspired design by INC Architecture & Design, a bronze and terra cotta facade, and a base that appears in harmony with its low-rise, historic neighbors. However, the building's 28-story height, setbacks allowing for private terraces, and distinctive crown are right in line with the contemporary buyer's wishes.

Upon completion, The Treadwell will be home to 66 studio through three-bedroom condos with two to four units per floor. There will be an on-site superintendent, and amenities are set to include a fitness center, sauna, and steam room. According to a teaser site, prices are expected to range from $1.1 million to $4.5 million.

The rendering reveal represents the latest chapter for the building at 249 East 62nd Street, which has been in the works since 2016. A skyscraper designed by Rafael Vinoly was originally proposed for the site, and renderings of a building featuring a hollow octagonal core were later revealed. Some locals objected to the “building on stilts,” but this particular project was ultimately halted between fire safety concerns and the closing of the mechanical void loophole that would have allowed for this building’s soaring height.

The Treadwell is taking shape on a tree-lined Upper East Side street, albeit one close to Bloomingdale’s, popular restaurants and bars, and a Trader Joe’s outpost that has been described as the city’s most beautiful supermarket. Transportation options include the Lexington Avenue/63rd Street F and Q trains, the 59th Street 4/5/6 and N/R/W trains, and the Roosevelt Island tramway. It is also taking shape amidst a mini residential building boom: New condos like The Leyton, The Clare, and 200 East 59th Street have all risen on surrounding blocks in recent years.
