William Waldorf Astor built a magnificent twin-towered apartment building in 1901, designed by Clinton & Russell with Beaux-Arts ornament and limestone details. The building was reborn as The Astor in 2015, restored to its original grandeur with modern amenities and luxurious apartments in a prime Upper West Side location. Currently, 3 apartments are for sale and 1 for rent.
In 1901, William Waldorf Astor, a prominent turn-of-the-century New York politician, businessman, and philanthropist, erected a magnificent, twin-towered apartment building at 235 West 75th Street. Architects Clinton & Russell adorned the façade with grey brick, carved Beaux-Arts ornament, rounded corners clad in limestone, and an antefix-trimmed copper cornice; a third tower followed in 1914.
In 2015, the pre-war gem has been reborn as The Astor, restored to original grandeur and upgraded for 21st century living with modern amenities such as a fully-attended lobby clad in mosaic and marble, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, and a private viewing park overlooking Broadway. One- to five-bedroom apartments offer gracious layouts, wood-burning fireplaces, custom ceiling moldings and floorboards, and built-in window alcove seats. Kitchens are equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, stained oak cabinetry, and marble countertops and backsplashes.
The Astor is part of an officially-designated historic district and sits close to both Riverside and Central Parks. This prime Upper West Side location is home to beloved cultural institutions such as the Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History, and local favorites such as Zabar’s, Fairway Market, Magnolia Bakery and Alice’s Tea Cup.
