The western anchor of one of the city's most distinguished blocks, this 33-story building has many stunning views of Central Park over the many "studio" mid-rise buildings to the east.

Erected in 1984 as a condominium, this attractive-reddish-brick building has 172 apartments in a tower setback over a low-rise base that has a spacious lobby and very attractive retail frontage. It has many corner windows.

It has a prime Upper West Side location just to the north and east of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and close to many major stores such as Tower Records and Barnes & Nobles and a large Sony multiplex.

Central Park is just a short walk to the east and the area abounds in restaurants and and has excellent cross-town bus service just to the south.

The area's heavy existing traffic will be exacerbated by the eventual redevelopment of the long delayed and controversial mixed-use project for the site of the New York Coliseum at Columbus Circle as well as the far larger Riverside South project to the west. Nonetheless, this vibrant area may well be the most definitive neighborhood in the city, if not the most desirable, because of its wide array of amenities and mix of building types and architecture.

The building was designed by Schuman Lichtenstein Claman & Efron for Daniel Brodsky.
