200 West End Avenue: Review and Ratings

Review of 200 West End Avenue by Carter Horsley

200 West End Avenue is an attractive, 27-story residential condominium building on the southeast corner at 70^th Street.

It was developed by Clarett Capital LLC., a joint venture between the Clarett Group, Prudential Real Estate Investors and ING/Clarion.

It has 191 apartments and was completed in 2008.

It was designed by Costas Kondylis, who designed many of the buildings along Riverside Boulevard for Donald Trump and Extell Development.

Bottom Line

This clean-cut but boxy apartment tower is across the avenue from P.S. 199, the handsome school designed in 1963 by Edward Durrell Stone, and it is also just to the north of the very large Lincoln Towers residential complex of slab buildings.  It is also not far from the 72^nd Street express subway station and Riverside Park.

Description

The building’s base is mostly framed with white stone while its top two floors and all of the tower, which has a setback, are all glass.

The building has a lobby designed by Celerie Kemble and a wine tasting room by Wine Enthusiast.

Amenities

The building has a doorman, a live-in superintendent, a children’s playroom with an outdoor area designed by Peter Sis, a health club, valet parking, a residents’ lounge, bicycle storage, and personal storage.
