The Houston, the highly anticipated new rental building located at 280 East Houston, is set to open its on-site leasing office just in time for summer. Beginning in early June, prospective residents will have the opportunity to tour the brand-new building, explore fully furnished model apartments, and experience firsthand the lifestyle offered at The Houston.
One of the standout features is the building’s stunning rooftop oasis, offering panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline. The expansive outdoor space includes private cabanas, an outdoor media lounge, grilling stations, dining areas, and refreshing misting showers.
Located in the East Village, one of Manhattan’s most vibrant and evolving neighborhoods, the property – developed by SMA Equities in collaboration with Hill West Architects – features an elevated design with modern conveniences, all set against the dynamic backdrop of one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods.
“We’ve seen the downtown market transform with the addition of new luxury residences throughout the years. We are excited to introduce the latest and greatest East Village residential building we’ve seen in a long time, The Houston. We have already received hundreds of inquiries from locals and passersby curious about the building,” says REAL New York Co-Founder Robert Rahmanian. “Now, we’re excited to finally welcome people inside to experience it firsthand—and to help them find their new home here.” REAL New York is the exclusive leasing and marketing brokerage for The Houston.
The building consists of 157 units, all replete with in-unit washer and dryer, smart controls for heating and cooling, and ample storage space. The kitchen boasts custom wood-grain cabinetry, complemented by sleek quartz countertops and Caesarstone backsplashes. Bathrooms exude a spa-like ambiance, with cloud-grey stone-style flooring, luxurious 30” soaking tubs, and seamless glass showers.
In addition to the roofdeck, residents can enjoy other thoughtfully curated luxury amenities including a fully equipped pet spa, dedicated fitness center and yoga studio, state-of-the-art resident terrace and a 24-hour attended lobby. The building has been designed to elevate everyday living and foster a true sense of community.
