While several New York Mets stars left the team this year, shortstop Francisco Lindor is here to stay. As first reported by the New York Post, Lindor paid $21.2 million for a penthouse at 200 East 75th Street on the Upper East Side. The All-Star shortstop first entered a contract for Penthouse 5, a 5,300-square-foot residence with six bedrooms, last December.
The 32-year-old joined the Mets in 2021 after spending over five years with the Cleveland Guardians. He signed a 10-year contract with the team worth $431 million, which at the time made him the highest-paid player in Mets history. Juan Soto’s $765 million deal with the team last year became Major League Baseball’s largest contract ever.
In addition to being the largest unit in the tower, Penthouse 5 also offers the most outdoor space, with three expansive terraces. Inside, 11-foot ceilings and dramatic arched windows lend to the sense of openness, while a gas fireplace adds both comfort and convenience.
Entry is through a spacious foyer that immediately opens onto a 39-foot-long living room with three full-height arched windows and terraces on both sides. The terraces can also be accessed via a library to the east and a formal dining room to the west.
A dining room with curved corners flows seamlessly into the kitchen via a bar outfitted with a full-height wine fridge. Equipped with its own grilling and dining terrace, west-facing arched windows, and a banquette and seating area, the kitchen can meet any culinary demand. The space is finished with white cabinetry, a light oak island, warm wood open shelving, and Italian marble countertops and backsplashes.
The kitchen also includes two sinks and two dishwashers, along with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a speed oven, a steam oven, generous pantry storage, and a custom hood by Yellow House Architects, which vents to the outside.
Looking out over a terrace and a large window with east-facing views, the primary bedroom suite has two walk-in closets, a linear closet, and a five-fixture bathroom. Elegantly clad in light oak and marble, the bathroom featured heated marble flooring, as well as marble on the walls and vanity counter.
A large steam shower doubles as a rain, standard, and hand shower and includes a built-in stone bench. A freestanding tub sits beneath an arched, east-facing window.
The five remaining bedrooms each include en-suite bathrooms. One is located adjacent to the primary suite and can be combined to create an expanded main bedroom. The other four bedrooms sit in the apartment’s south wing and enjoy open east- and west-facing views from the west terrace.
Developed by EJS Group, sales at 200 East 75th Street launched in March 2024, with prices starting at $3.25 million for a two-bedroom residence. The 35 bespoke homes feature interiors by Yellow House Architects, blending “classic elegance with modern sophistication” through stunning textures and elements across both residences and amenity spaces.
Closings began at the building this October, with over 85 percent of units sold, according to CityRealty.
Amenities include “The Parlor,” featuring a fireside seating area, a library, and a catering kitchen that opens onto a private courtyard garden. The Billiards Room features a billiards table with French oak paneling throughout, while the Garden offers an outdoor fireplace with private seating, providing a scenic retreat, as 6sqft previously reported.
A landscaped rooftop terrace offers a full outdoor kitchen, private seating, and dining areas with scenic views. The building’s Athletic Club features a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center, a private workout studio and sauna, a professional-grade Full Swing multi-sports simulator, and a music room with practice space and soundproof recording.
There is also a children’s playroom, a teen lounge, a private cinema, a pet bathing station, bike storage, and a 24-hour concierge.
