170 Amsterdam Avenue is a 20 story rental building defined by an exposed concrete exoskeleton of offset diagonal piers. Designed by Gary Handel for Equity Residential and completed in 2015, it contains 239 apartments; the top seven floors step back along the west façade, while the structural frame bends inward near the roof and extends above it.
Apartments are arranged as open spans free of interior columns, with floor-to-ceiling windows and in-unit washers and dryers. The diagonal concrete members cross the glazing in changing positions along the façade, giving apartments different relationships to the exterior structure.
Service includes a full time doorman and 24 hour concierge. Shared spaces include a rooftop terrace, private garden, fitness center, yoga room, children's playroom, business lounge with conference room, music rooms, resident lounge with catering kitchen, and resident storage.
The building occupies the western end of West 68th Street at Amsterdam Avenue, with the Lincoln Center campus roughly two blocks south. It is pet friendly.
