Overview of Sherman Square at 201 West 70th Street

Sherman Square, also known as One Sherman Square, is a 42 story, 328 unit post war co-op at 201 West 70th Street that was completed in 1972 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1984. Designed by S. J. Kessler, the dark brown and beige tower stands as one of the tallest buildings on the Upper West Side, distinguished by its strong vertical emphasis, large piers, and numerous balconies. The building takes its name from General William Tecumseh Sherman, who retired to West 71st Street in 1886 seeking peace and quiet, and became a fixture of New York society until his death in 1891.

Apartments at Sherman Square commonly feature private balconies, western facing Hudson River views, and open city vistas. Many units have been renovated with high end finishes including white oak or hardwood floors, custom closets and built-ins, and chef's kitchens outfitted with premium appliances from brands like Miele, Viking, and Sub-Zero. Corner units offer particularly expansive wraparound views, and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted with board approval. Listings highlight spacious layouts with generous living and dining areas, ample storage, and well proportioned bedrooms that can accommodate king sized beds.

The building provides full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman and concierge, a convenient circular driveway where cars may be left for up to 30 minutes, and a live-in resident manager with on-site management office. Residents enjoy access to a state-of-the-art fitness center, central laundry facilities, bicycle storage, and a parking garage for a fee. Outdoor spaces include a private landscaped garden completed in 2008 and a planted roof deck on the 43rd floor offering panoramic views of Central Park, the Hudson River, and the city skyline. The building is pet friendly and non-smoking, with pied-Ă -terre purchases, co-purchasing, gifting, and subletting all permitted with board approval. Up to 75% financing is allowed.

The location at West 70th Street and Broadway places residents directly across from the express and local 1/2/3 subway lines and within blocks of the B/C trains. The neighborhood offers proximity to Lincoln Center, Central Park, and Riverside Park, along with popular grocers including Trader Joe's, Fairway, Citarella, and Zabar's, and restaurants such as Café Luxembourg, The Smith, and Red Farm.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "white glove" full-service co-op boasts "one of the best fitness clubs on the UWS" with a recently renovated gym, plus a 24-hour doorman, concierge, roof deck and garage, all in "one of the best locations" just "steps from the 1, 2, 3 trains," Lincoln Center, Central Park and "great food shopping" like Fairway and Citarella; the "fairly liberal board" allows 75% financing, but detractors note the building is "in desperate need of updates" with a "dingy" lobby and hallways, "iffy" service, no central air leading to "exorbitant" summer bills, and spotty maintenance including HVAC filters that "blow out filthy air" unless tenants request replacement.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
