This 24-story mixed-use tower at 2166 Broadway is a major component of the Upper West Side skyline Completed in 1930, it has a fascinating history including a church, hotel, and various transformations before becoming the Opera Apartments co-op Currently, 3 apartments are for sale.
The Opera, a striking 24-story neo-Gothic tower built in 1930 at 2166 Broadway, boasts a fascinating history as a former hotel and church sanctuary before its conversion to cooperative apartments in 1980. This full-service prewar building features a 24-hour concierge, live-in superintendent, laundry facilities on every floor, and available bike and storage rooms, while maintaining flexible policies that permit pets, pied-à-terres, and subletting with board approval.
The building occupies a prime Upper West Side location between 76th and 77th Streets, positioned equidistant from both Central Park and Riverside Park. Residents enjoy proximity to cultural landmarks such as Lincoln Center, the Beacon Theater, and the American Museum of Natural History, as well as acclaimed gourmet markets including Zabar's, Fairway, and Citarella.
Originally designed by Tilion & Tilion as the Manhattan Towers hotel with an elaborate neo-Gothic façade and church sanctuary, the building has evolved through various incarnations - from a Navy housing facility to an SRO hotel - before emerging as the desirable cooperative residence it is today. The building's rich history and architectural character, combined with its modern amenities and prime location, make it a distinctive presence in the Upper West Side skyline.

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.
