Casa 74, also known as 255 East 74th Street, is a 30-story, 87-apartment condominium building. It is situated at the corner of Second Avenue and East 74th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City.[2][3][4][5]

The building was developed by World-Wide Holdings Corporation.[6][7] It was designed by Hugh Hardy's H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture together with SLCE Architects, and built in 2008.[8][9][10]

The building contains primarily three-to-five bedroom apartments, duplexes, and penthouses, with 10-foot (3.0 m) ceilings.[2][9][11][12] The largest apartments are 3,500-square-foot (330 m2).[13]

The lower floors of the building house a 42,000-square-foot (3,900 m2) Equinox gym.[2][9][14] The building includes a 2,400-square-foot (220 m2) children’s pavilion, and a private 1,500-square-foot (140 m2) garden.[2][15][16]

In 2008, apartments in the building sold for prices ranging up to $4,000-per-square-foot.[17][18][19] In 2009, a penthouse was purchased for $12.98 million.[20] Also in 2009, the developer rented out five of the building's apartments, at $13,000-per-month for three-bedroom apartments, and $18,000-per-month for a four-bedroom apartment.[21]

Poet John Giorno lived at the address, when a small carriage house was located on the property, before the current building was built.[22][23]
