Overview of The Rockfall at 545 West 111th Street

The Rockfall, located at 545 West 111th Street, is a historic cooperative building completed in 1909 by architects George and Edward Blum. This 10-story building, originally constructed by the Blum brothers, was converted to a co-op in 1987. It features a distinctive two-story rusticated limestone base and a grand lobby with marbled floors and stained glass windows. The building is situated in the vibrant Upper West Side neighborhood, close to Columbia University, Riverside Park, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

The Rockfall offers a range of amenities, including a 24 hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, a bike room, and a large laundry room. Residents can enjoy a beautifully landscaped roof deck with stunning views of the Hudson River and the city skyline. The building is pet friendly and allows pied-Ă -terres, gifting, and co-purchasing on a case-by-case basis. Subletting is permitted for up to three years.

Apartments in The Rockfall are known for their pre-war charm, featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows that provide excellent natural light. Many units have been renovated to include modern amenities such as stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and in-unit washer/dryer hookups. The building's flexible layout allows for various configurations, including spacious one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, some of which have been featured in publications like Martha Stewart Living Magazine.

The Rockfall's location offers convenient access to public transportation, with the #1 train just a block away, and is surrounded by a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops. Its proximity to educational institutions like Columbia University and Barnard College makes it an attractive option for academics and students alike. The building's combination of historic charm, modern amenities, and prime location make it a desirable residence in the Upper West Side.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
