10 West End Avenue: Review and Ratings

Review of 10 West End Avenue by Carter Horsley

10 West End Avenue is an attractive, 31-story, reflective-glass, residential condominium tower that occupies the full blockfront on the avenue between 59^th and 60^th streets.

It is somewhat similar to the Element, a 35-story reflective-glass residential condominium tower at 555 West 59^th Street except that 10 West End Avenue is symmetrical while the Element is asymmetrical.  Both buildings have many balconies and each designed by SLCE.

This building was developed by Apollo Real Estate Advisors Cambridge Development & Construction and Apollo Real Estate Advisors, one of the developers of the Time Warner Center nearby at Columbus Circle.

It has 173 apartments and was completed in 2007.

Bottom Line

This attractive building is in the middle of a cluster of reflective-glass residential condominium towers to the east of Extell Development’s planned Riverside Center and south of the phalanx of apartment towers facing the Hudson River built by Extell and Donald Trump, 

Description

The building has an 11-story base with a central tower with balconies at the corners and in the middle for much of its height.

The building, which has floor-to-ceiling windows, has a driveway with a long marquee.

Amenities

The building has a concierge, a fitness center, a 50-foot lap pool with silver blue slate floors and white quartzite walls and cold storage for grocery deliveries.

The building also has a bicycle room, a children’s activity center created by the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, on-premise valet parking, and a fitness center by Ari Weller and interiors by Jim Dine.

The building is pet friendly.
