Overview of 140 West 81st Street

Originally constructed in 1891 for the Third Universalist Society, 140 West 81st Street is a landmarked Romanesque Revival treasure nestled on a tree-lined side street in the heart of the Upper West Side Historic District.

Led by developers Ekstein Development Group and CMC Development Group, with DXA Studio as the lead architect, the building’s historic façade was meticulously preserved while its interiors were reimagined into six dramatic residences, refined by AD100 firm Studio Sofield.

Each home is unique, yet all feature expansive entertainment and private spaces, kitchens outfitted with Miele, Sub-Zero, and Wolf appliances, and extraordinary architectural details that marry historic charm with modern luxury.

Residents are welcomed by an elegant, attended lobby featuring natural stone accents and refined millwork. The building offers a fully equipped fitness center with cutting-edge Technogym cardio and strength equipment. Each residence includes private storage.

Located just a half-block from the American Museum of Natural History and the 79th Street Greenmarket, and one block from Central Park, 140 West 81st Street offers unparalleled access to the best of the Upper West Side. Nearby attractions include Riverside Park, the Beacon Theatre, Lincoln Center, and the popular dining and shopping options along Columbus Avenue. Public transportation is conveniently available via the 79th Street 1 train and the 86th Street B/C trains.

The building joins a distinguished roster of recent condo developments, including The Henry, 212 West 72nd Street, Charlotte of the Upper West Side, and 555 West End Avenue.
