Overview of The Lyric at 255 West 94th Street

The Lyric is a prominent rental building located at 255 West 94th Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Developed by The Related Companies and designed by Costas Kondylis, this 23-story building was completed in 2000. It features 285 apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, all equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows, gourmet kitchens, and marble baths. The building's cultural significance is highlighted by its integration with the Symphony Space, a cultural center that includes the Peter Norton Symphony Space, the Leonard Nimoy Theater, and the Peter Jay Sharp Theater.

The Lyric offers a wide array of amenities that cater to modern urban living. Residents can enjoy a rooftop sun terrace with dining areas and stunning views of the city and river. The building also includes a state-of-the-art health and fitness center, a children's playroom, a business center, and an internet lounge. Additional conveniences include a 24-hour doorman, concierge services, valet and maid services, and a garage. The building is pet-friendly, allowing pets under 50 pounds, and offers smoke-free apartments with custom finishes.

The apartments at The Lyric are designed with attention to detail, featuring Euro-style cabinetry in the kitchens, marble bathrooms with Kohler fixtures, and blonde parquet floors. Some units boast unique features such as private outdoor spaces, in-unit washers and dryers, and expansive views of the Hudson River. The building's location provides excellent access to public transportation, with the renovated 96th Street subway station nearby, and is surrounded by a vibrant neighborhood filled with shops, cafes, and cultural venues.

The Lyric's history is intertwined with its commitment to cultural and community values. By selling air rights above its original building, Symphony Space was able to renovate and expand its facilities, ensuring the preservation of its theater and the inclusion of affordable housing units. This approach reflects the building's dedication to maintaining a balance between luxury living and community engagement.
