Presidential Towers is an 18-story mid-century cooperative completed in 1963 and designed by Morris Lapidus. The 197-unit building offers mainly one- and two-bedroom layouts, including oversized two-bedroom corner plans and junior one-bedroom variations. Architecturally it reflects mid-century modern massing with large ribbons of replaced windows and instances of corner exposures that create wide city and river views. Interiors of individual units commonly feature foyer entries, open living/dining arrangements, parquet or hardwood floors, renovated galley or chef-style kitchens, central heat/AC, abundant closet storage and recessed lighting. The property functions as a full-service building with 24-hour doormen, a live-in resident manager, an on-site garage, central laundry, bicycle and storage rooms, and building storage for additional tenant items. Utilities — electric, natural gas, water and heating/cooling — are included in the maintenance package. Some apartments provide private outdoor space, including balconies and larger terraces. The co-op is pet-friendly with board approval and permits pied-a-terre, sublets and co-purchasing subject to house rules and financing guidelines. Located on West 70th Street in Lincoln Square between West End Avenue and Riverside Boulevard, the building sits steps from Lincoln Center, Riverside Park, the Hudson waterfront, multiple subway lines and neighborhood groceries, restaurants and theaters. The setting emphasizes a culturally active Upper West Side lifestyle with easy pedestrian access to parks, shopping and transit.
