Completed in 2008, Ariel West is a 31-story full-service condominium tower on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The building contains a limited collection of large, predominantly multi-bedroom residences (two- through six-bedroom footprints in the market materials), many planned with high ceilings and expansive great rooms that open to dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing. Designed by COOKFOX with interiors by CetraRuddy, units emphasize generous room proportions, open-plan entertaining wings, separate bedroom wings, custom millwork, abundant closets and dedicated storage bins that convey with many apartments. Typical interior finishes described across listings include hardwood floors, multi-zone central air, Waterworks plumbing fixtures, Viking/Bosch professional appliance suites, paneled entrance foyers, built-in audio wiring and in-unit laundry. Private outdoor spaces appear on select homes, from compact terraces to larger balconies. Common areas are extensive and recreation-focused: a La Palestra–branded fitness and wellness center with group classes, a 51-foot indoor lap pool, pilates/yoga studios, locker rooms with steam facilities, and multiple children’s playrooms. Shared amenities extend to a landscaped courtyard and second-floor terrace, an enclosed private outdoor playground and half-court basketball, a residents’ lounge with billiards and piano, a screening/party room with catering kitchen, and bicycle and private storage. The building offers white-glove services—full-time doorman, concierge, resident manager, live-in superintendent and porters—plus on-site maintenance support. Pet-friendly policies and proximity to both Riverside and Central Parks, express subway service, grocery and neighborhood retail complete the lifestyle picture.
