Inside, the interiors are conceived with the same attention to detail and sensibility. A highlight of the project is the collaboration with B&B Italia, the celebrated Italian design brand known for its bold, modernist furniture. Their pieces are prominently featured in the building’s lobby and in the expansive 2,231-square-foot penthouse, where carefully selected classics—including the Tufty-Time sofa, now celebrating its 20th anniversary—complement CetraRuddy’s refined interior architecture.

“The penthouse was designed as a modern expression of light-filled, inspiring spaces that reflect the spirit of Gramercy Park, while offering comfort and material richness,” explains Ximena Rodriguez, Principal and Director of Interior Design at CetraRuddy. “B&B Italia’s timeless furniture introduces a further layer of warmth and sophistication, making it feel truly unique in the New York market.”

Rather than imposing a dramatic break with the past, CetraRuddy’s architecture for 200E20th gently continues Gramercy Park’s tradition of quiet elegance. The building’s curved silhouette, articulated with refined metalwork and classical proportions, offers a contemporary yet contextually appropriate response to its surroundings at the corner of 20th Street and Third Avenue.

With just 52 residences – ranging from one- to three-bedroom homes, including a collection of full-floor penthouses – the development maintains an intimate scale. Many of the homes enjoy private terraces and open views of Gramercy Park and the surrounding streetscape. Shared amenities include a landscaped rooftop terrace, children’s playroom, fitness centre, and a discreet residents' garden—thoughtfully echoing the private green space for which the neighbourhood is known.

Sales at 200E20th have progressed swiftly, with over 70% of the residences sold within the first nine months of launch. With construction now complete and move-ins underway, the building is already becoming an established part of the neighbourhood’s fabric.

In an era where environmental concerns are inseparable from questions of design and urban life, CetraRuddy’s 200E20th stands as a thoughtful example of how contemporary architecture can respond to both history and sustainability. It is not simply a place to live—it’s a reflection of how we might build more responsibly for the future.
