1000 Grand Concourse rises ten stories, the district's first building taller than six
In 1935 the subway-fueled second building boom on the Grand Concourse produced this ten-story apartment house by Sugarman & Berger. It was the first building in what is now the Grand Concourse Historic District to go above six stories, and it remains one of only three in the district taller than eight.

Sugarman & Berger give Concourse Development's tower brick banding and wrap-around corner windows
Built for Concourse Development Inc., the Art Deco apartment house has ten stories and a penthouse faced in beige brick with raised and contrasting brick bands. Windows wrap around the corners on every side, the front light court steps back twice, and the entrance has a cast-stone surround. The rooftop bulkhead repeats the banding with narrow slits. The original multi-paned windows have since been replaced, and the tenth story in the light court enclosed.
