Aron Residence,
Mount Sinai
Medical Center

The Jane B. Aron Residence at the Mount Sinai Medical Center is in many ways a housing hybrid, combining curious variations of financing, occupancy, and purpose, adding up to apartment building as upscale student housing. Subsidized by Mount Sinai in 1984 as rental housing for the center's nurses, interns, and resident physicians, the building attempts to answer the housing needs of its younger personnel, who are essential to its operation but who can ill afford Upper East Side Manhattan housing near work.

On one hand, the facility had to be built according to the economical standards of space and cost (about $80 per square foot) reminiscent of public housing. Its 550 tenants will join in a lifestyle familiar to striving young wage-earners in Manhattan: apartment sharing. On the other hand, these tenants are young professionals whose expectations, conditioned by age, education, and the example of their coevals, do not include minimal housing. Here, four to six tenants have a common living room and kitchen, while each has a separate bedroom. Moreover, they get a brightly lit, rather theatrical entrance and lobby built of glass block and jazzed up with colored neon.

Typically, Lewis Davis and Samuel Brody thought of urban-design considerations demanded by the neighborhood itself. The area—upper Park Avenue at exactly the point where trains enter a tunnel on their way to Grand Central Terminal—already includes a number of large, solid apartment houses (though only a block north there is a large “project”). Even with a limited budget, Davis and Brody gave the building a wall of multishaded yellow brick with green metal sash and more elaborate masonry ornament than bare-bones housing usually gets. G. A.
