Carter’s Review

"The 32-story condominium building at 275 West 96th Street on the northwest corner at Broadway was a major pioneer in 1983 in the redevelopment of Broadway north of 86th Street.

Not surprisingly, it was developed by William Zeckendorf Jr., and partners, who also pioneered the redevelopment of Union Square with Zeckendorf Towers and Eighth Avenue in midtown, with the WorldWide Plaza complex. "

This "pioneering" 1983 Zeckendorf creation offers "resort-style living" on the Upper West Side with "spectacular" amenities including "the largest indoor pool in the city", "state-of-the-art" health club, and "impressive" recreational facilities. The "meticulously maintained" full-service building boasts an "ideal location" at 96th & Broadway with "everything at your doorstep" including express trains, gourmet shopping, and "easy access" to both Central and Riverside Parks. "Professional" on-site management and a "reasonable" board make for "smooth sailing", while the "high owner retention" speaks volumes about resident satisfaction.
