About 685 First Ave

685 First Avenue is situated in a prominent Manhattan location on First Avenue between East 39th and East 40th Streets. Brought to you by the renowned Solow Building Company, this iconic 43-story tower is clad in black glass, a Solow trademark.

Located just south of the United Nations Headquarters along the East River, residences feature breathtaking views of New York City and the riverfront. One of its most distinguishing features – a clear glass cut-out on the 28th and 29th floors – lights up at night and is visible from across the river. The western facade is defined by a glass screen that provides privacy for residence balconies while still allowing abundant natural light to fill the interior space. Residents of 685 First Avenue will enjoy the highest level of service from the moment they arrive. Whether entering from First Avenue through the grand East Atrium adorned in travertine, or the discreet direct entry from the onsite parking garage, the building has been carefully designed for the ultimate convenience and luxury. The amenities suite has been designed with soaring ceiling heights and naturally lit spaces to promote residents' health and wellness, including a 70' indoor lap pool with steam and sauna and expansive fitness center with private training studio. Residents can also enjoy thoughtfully curated entertaining spaces featuring a billiards and games lounge, catering kitchen, private dining, screening room, and playroom. 685 First Avenue transforms the East River skyline and brings a new standard of luxury living to Midtown East.

Crappy Apartments in a Pretty Exterior
June 21, 2024
Rent here only if you want to be treated like a 2nd class citizen. They don't let our food get delivered and they leave it on the street or in the vestibule between the front doors, not even at the front desk. Homeless people steal my food and other people in the building rifle through it when looking for their own food. The hallways are dingy with stains on the carpets and the apartments are in disrepair with leaking and other problems. The package room closes super early. If you have a 9-5 ...
job, forget about ever being able to get your package. They don't allow renters to access the basement garage and they charge huge gym fees for the saddest, smallest gym you ever saw. There are loud parties all the time and it's a lot of students.

This building is dysfunctional. Staff mostly unhelpful with attitude. Management responds but does not act. Limited package room hours. Additional fees per guest when using common area. No shower/change room in the pool or gym. Carpet dirty. Garbage rooms always smell. Poor ventilation. Find better building at a lower cost.
