When we checked in on The Chamberlain (269 West 87th Street) at the beginning of the year, developers Simon Baron Development and Quadrum Global had just begun work on the newly cleared site. A recent visit revealed that the 18-story, 39-unit condominium is well on the rise. Architecture critic Carter Horsley notes “numerous unexpected grace notes and detailing” in this building designed by FXFowle; the Art Deco-inspired tower will feature strong vertical piers and intricate brickwork accented by decorative ironwork.
Apartments have already entered contract and start at $2.55 million for two-bedrooms. Four- and five-bedroom townhouse duplex residences offer a deliberate separation of entertainment and private areas and start at $6.825 million. The first of three full-floor penthouses is listed at $12.375 million.

From custom millwork in the bedrooms to intricate mosaic marble flooring in the powder room, no detail is overlooked in these apartments with interiors by Alexandra Champalimaud. One enters through a formal entry gallery and enters a spacious living room with oversized window bays and beautiful city views. The kitchens feature custom-designed cabinets by Smallbone of Devizes and highest-end appliances. Lavish master baths have Bianco Dolomiti marble floors, Kohler soaking tubs, oversized separate showers, and private water closets. Select units have Juliet balconies, and penthouses have private terraces.
The doorman and concierge at The Chamberlain will be dedicated to white-glove service for residents. The plantings in a garden courtyard will change with the seasons, and the view can be appreciated from the fully equipped fitness center and children's playroom. A fitness center is equipped to accommodate all types of physical activity, and a multi-purpose sports court can easily be used as an event or party space. Other amenities include a bike room, storage space, and a cold storage room.
The Chamberlain is just around the corner from the 86th Street subway stop for a convenient commute. It is also a short walk away from Riverside Park, popular Upper West Side restaurants, and shops of all kinds.
