Carter Horsley's Review of The Columbia

"The 32-story condominium building at 275 West 96th Street on the northwest corner at Broadway was a major pioneer in 1983 in the redevelopment of Broadway north of 86th Street.

Not surprisingly, it was developed by William Zeckendorf Jr., and partners, who also pioneered the redevelopment of Union Square with Zeckendorf Towers and Eighth Avenue in midtown, with the WorldWide Plaza complex. " Read Carter's Full Review

Broker & Buyer Comments

"Building is full service with doorman and concierge. Wonderful health club, racquette ball courts and beautiful pool. The building is meticulously well kept. Typical for ownwers to stay in the building i. e. they start with a 1bdrm and sell it to buy a 2bdrm in the building. So owner satisfaction is very high. The board is reasonable but with a strong committment to the building. This condo is primarily owner occupied, however investors are welcome and subletting of apartments is permitted. It has a perfect location. It is right on the corner of 96th St. & B`Way. It is an express stop for the #2 & #3 trains and a local stop on the #1. The 104 Bus which goes to midtown stops there. Just a couple of blocks east there is the 8th ave subway line. Gourmet Garage is actually located in the building. One of the best plant shops and bicycle shops in the city are just across the street. There are many fine cafes, restaurants and shops just outside the door. Short walk to both Riverside Park and Central Park."

"Building Amenities include: Huge Pool, Fully equipped Health Club with Weight Room, Sundeck, Roofdeck, Childrens Playroom and Squash and Basketball Court & a Garage, accessed through the Building. Condo board so there are very few hassles. Located steps from Riverside Park and close to shopping(evrything is available on broadway), restaurants and all transportation including the Broadway express trains(1,2,3). Other Features:"

"The Columbia is one of the Upper West Sides Top Condominiums. Built in 1983 by the Zeckendorfs, they were one of the first to showcase luxury amenities, including a state of the art health club with sauna, steam room, and shower facilities, the largest indoor swimming pool in the city, an amazing childrens playroom, half-court basketball, squash and racketball courts, billards, table tennis, and a 2012 renovated roof terrace. Small fee to expedite board approval from on-site office."

"The Columbia is a Zeckendorf Brothers Building from the 80s, extende residential Upper West Side by having a new development above 79th Street. One of the original "Amenities Packed" buildings, with large roof pool, gym, squash & Basketball courts, and Community Roof Terrace. On-site mangement office for review. Can expedite applications. New train stop at the corner, 96th & Broadway 12&3 lines. Whole Foods & Wine nearby, clos to both Cerntral Park & Riverside Parks."
