Situated near Lincoln Center, Equity Residential’s diagonal triumph at 170 Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side was completed in 2015 and features 239 residences across 20 floors. Equity purchased the property in a 99-year lease from American Continental Properties in 2011 for $76.5 million and tapped Handel Architects for design. The tower has received numerous awards for its architecture and engineering, and it features a facade with an intricate grid of diagonal piers over floor-to-ceiling windows, and extend over the roof.
Inside, residences feature floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood flooring, and in-unit washers and dryers. Kitchens include stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Select units feature private balconies and walk-in closets. Equity handles leasing for the no-fee residences and select listings currently have a special offer of $1,500 off. Current availabilities include studios from $3,560/month, 1 bedrooms from $4,255/month and 2 bedrooms from $6,190/month.
Amenities at 170 Amsterdam begin with a 24-hour concierge in a lobby that features a lounge with WiFi and views of a private garden. The smoke-free building features a fitness center, a yoga/spin room, a children’s playroom, a private catering kitchen, a pet spa, a private conference room, music practice rooms, a golf simulator, private storage, and bicycle storage. Atop the building sits a rooftop terrace complete with an outdoor TV and BBQ grills.
170 Amsterdam is nearby Lincoln Center and the Beacon Theater in the entertainment department and Central Park and the Seventieth Street Playground for outdoor escapes.
