Marketing has begun for the residential condominium conversion of the 13-story apartment building at 905 West End Avenue on the northwest corner at 104th Street.

It was one of three similar buildings designed by Gaetano Ajello for the Paterno Brothers in this attractive stretch of the Upper West Side. The other two at 885 and 895 West End Avenue.

This building was completed in 1917 and contains 53 apartments.

The building has a large lobby with a staircase and a full-time doorman. The building also has a roof deck and sidewalk landscaping and a bicycle room.

Some of the apartments have four bedrooms, a formal dining room and foyers that measure 13 feet 6 inches by 14 feet 3 inches. Such a unit is presently priced at about $3,750,000 with 90 percent financing for seven years with a 4,875 percent interest rate.

The building was sold in 2006 for $45.5 million by the Nagel Family to Samson Management Corporation.
