“Skip the Board Interview, Cue the Balcony Views—Sponsor Deals Strike Up at 244 E 52nd”

In a nutshell: *Minuet is a 15‑home jewel at the crossroads of Sutton Place and Turtle Bay. Three freshly released sponsor homes—one two‑bedroom and two three‑bedrooms—offer immediate occupancy, luxe finishes (think Taj Mahal quartzite kitchens and radiant‑heated marble baths), private balconies, and a well‑curated amenity lineup (rooftop, fitness/yoga studio, part‑time doorman). Prices start at **\$1.745 M** with monthlies that rival co‑ops, but with true condo freedom. Below are “30‑second” elevator pitches you can drop straight into emails, social posts, or listing sheets—just swap the audience to fit your buyer.*

Available Sponsor Inventory

| Unit | Bdrms/Baths | Interior SF | Outdoor | Ask | CC / Taxes | Source |
| —— | ———– | ———– | ———– | ——— | —————– | —————————————- |
| **3C** | 2 / 2 | 1,003 | 2 balconies | \$1.745 M | \$1,614 / \$1,379 | ([Minuet][1], [Brown Harris Stevens][2]) |
| **5B** | 3 / 3 | 1,465 | 2 balconies | \$2.695 M | \$2,372 / \$2,027 | ([Minuet][1], [Brown Harris Stevens][3]) |
| **6A** | 3 / 3 | 1,449 | 1 balcony | \$2.745 M | \$2,323 / \$1,985 | ([Minuet][1], [Brown Harris Stevens][4]) |

*All homes are sponsor units—no board, 10 %+ financing accepted, immediate occupancy.*

Building Highlights (Why Minuet?)

* **Boutique scale:** only *15 residences* in a limestone‑and‑brick new build by Issac & Stern. ([Brown Harris Stevens][5])
* **Well‑edited amenities:** attended travertine lobby, sun‑lit fitness + yoga studio, 360° landscaped roof terrace with outdoor kitchen, bike & storage rooms. ([Minuet][6], [Brown Harris Stevens][5])
* **Design cred:** GE‑T Architects interiors—8″ Croatian white‑oak floors, Taj Mahal quartzite kitchens with Miele suites, spa baths in North Pearl marble. ([Minuet][7])
* **Location sweet‑spot:** tree‑lined E 52nd between 2nd & 3rd Aves—3 mins to the E/M/6 trains, UN grounds & Midtown offices, yet a whisper‑quiet Turtle Bay pocket. ([Wikipedia][8], [Brown Harris Stevens][5])

30‑Second Elevator Pitches

Unit 3C — \$1.745 M | 2 BR / 2 BA

> **Any** *first‑time condo buyer craving outdoor space* can **own a south‑facing two‑bed with two balconies under \$1.8 M** by snapping up **Sponsor Residence 3C at Minuet**, because **it delivers a turnkey 1,000‑SF layout, Taj Mahal‑clad kitchen, and garden/skyline views—minus the co‑op interview and with monthlies under \$3 K all‑in.** ([Brown Harris Stevens][2], [Minuet][6])

Unit 5B — \$2.695 M | 3 BR / 3 BA

> **Any** *move‑up Manhattan family or work‑from‑home power couple* can **secure a triple‑exposure three‑bedroom with *two* terraces and room to Zoom** by purchasing **Sponsor Residence 5B**, because **its half‑floor footprint separates bedroom wing from entertaining core, comes wired for smart‑home tech, and closes in 30–45 days—just in time for fall school enrollment.** ([Brown Harris Stevens][3], [Minuet][7])

Unit 6A — \$2.745 M | 3 BR / 3 BA

> **Any** *empty‑nester seeking pied‑à‑terre glamour without skyscraper headaches* can **live above the fray in north‑ & west‑facing Residence 6A**, because **it pairs a balcony big enough for sunset vino with nine‑foot‑seven ceilings, radiant‑heated marble baths, and boutique privacy—delivered by a sponsor who’ll pick up the punch‑list, not you.** ([Brown Harris Stevens][4], [Minuet][6])

Pro Tips for Your Buyers

1. **Negotiation levers:** sponsors here have been known to offer closing‑cost credits or a year of common charges on signed contracts before Labor Day—ask. ([Minuet][1])
2. **Financing edge:** 90 % loans allowed; share Minuet’s CD20‑0034 waiver packet with lenders to speed underwriting. ([Brown Harris Stevens][4])
3. **Lifestyle hook:** Trader Joe’s, Equinox, Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza Greenmarket, and Midtown offices all within a 5‑block stroll—perfect for buyers who hate commuting more than they love avocado toast. ([Brown Harris Stevens][5], [Wikipedia][8])
