The Alexandria at 201 West 72nd Street stands as one of the Upper West Side's most architecturally distinctive buildings, completed in 1991 by developers Peter L. Malkin, Arthur G. Cohen, and William Zeckendorf Jr. Designed by Frank Williams & Associates and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, this 25 story, 202 unit condominium was described by architectural historians as "the most flamboyant of Broadway's new generation of apartment houses." The building's striking Post Modern design features angled turret bay windows, stepped setbacks, indented balconies with white grill railings, and a distinctive octagonal water tank enclosure adorned with Egyptian motifs that creates a memorable skyline presence at the prominent Broadway and 72nd Street intersection.
The building's 202 residences range from studios with sleeping alcoves to expansive three bedroom penthouses, with many units featuring exceptionally tall ceilings and generous proportions. South facing apartments offer open city views, while many units include private terraces or balconies, some wrapping around corners for multiple exposures. Recent listings showcase apartments with wraparound terraces up to 220 square feet, and penthouse units with dramatic features like 48 foot long foyer galleries and 31 foot long living rooms. Common apartment features include hardwood floors, marble bathrooms, in-unit washer and dryer, abundant closet space, and individually controlled HVAC systems.
As a full service condominium, The Alexandria offers comprehensive amenities including 24 hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, and an extensive health club with a multi lane saltwater swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. Additional building features include a landscaped garden, rooftop deck with panoramic city views, laundry facilities on every floor, basement storage, and a children's playroom. The building is pet friendly and allows subletting, making it attractive to both primary residents and pied-à-terre users.
The location at the corner of Broadway and 72nd Street provides exceptional convenience, with the 1/2/3 express subway station directly across the street and immediate access to Upper West Side shopping including Trader Joe's, Fairway, Citarella, and Zabar's. The building sits within easy walking distance of Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Riverside Park, while the nearby Ansonia building to the north provides architectural context and helps frame views from southern exposures.
