Renwick Gardens - 332 East 29th Street, New York, NY 10016 - Property report

Architects Jordan L. Gruzen and his father Barnett Sumner Gruzen won so many commissions in Manhattan's Civic Center area in the 1960s and 1970s that the area was known as ?Gruzen Country.? The 15-story modernistic design at 329 East 28 Street in Kips Bay was one on the Gruzens' resume. The brick-and-concrete tower was completed in 1979, and features expansive slab balconies beginning on the third floor in the mid-block location. A doorman manages the lobby at the property known as Renwick Gardens, and residents enjoy a roof deck, laundry facilities, and additional storage space. Behind the residential towers the grounds offer patio space, a basketball court and easy access to Bellevue South Park.

The Kips Bay location of 329 East 28 Street is close to Tisch Hospital to the north and Bellevue Hospital Center to the south. Markets and neighborhood eateries are also close at hand. Crosstown, uptown, and downtown buses all stop within a block of Renwick Gardens and subway service can be reached in a ten-minute walk. The 6 train can be boarded just 0.4 miles away at Park Avenue and 38th Street. Zoned Schools include P.S. 281 The River School and I.S. 104, but J.H.S. 47 The School for the Deaf and P.S. 347 are also close by.
