100 La Salle St

A mid-20th-century cooperative complex composed of six low-rise buildings totaling 21 stories at their tallest, completed in 1956 and set across roughly eight acres of planted grounds. The development contains a modest number of units (33 total) organized primarily as studios and a mix of larger apartment types across multiple walk-up and elevator-served entry points. Architecturally the property favors straightforward postwar massing with large windows and balconies that frame garden and river views rather than ornamental detailing. Interiors emphasize practical, lived-in layouts: many residences feature eat-in kitchens, entrance foyers, hardwood floors, oversized windows, and terraces or private outdoor spaces both above and below 60 square feet. Shared facilities are extensive for a complex of this scale — landscaped courtyards and gardens, playgrounds and indoor playrooms, community and activity rooms, a fitness center, workshops (ceramics, woodworking, photography), and a theater space. Operational amenities include on-site laundry, storage rooms, bike storage, a parking garage, live-in staff, 24/7 security, and organized resident clubs and programs. The property is pet friendly and offers bulk electricity purchasing as a cooperative benefit. Sited in Morningside Heights near Columbia University and cultural institutions, the complex provides a suburban-like garden setting within an urban grid. Its location places residents within short walks of multiple subway lines, bus routes, parks, and riverfront paths, combining a calm landscaped environment with immediate access to neighborhood restaurants, shops, and academic campuses.
