Reflecting a rare level of fiscal strength, all major improvements—including the fully-equipped gym and storage facilities—have been funded entirely from internally generated cash flow. Residents enjoy the security and service of a 24-hour doorman, porters, and a dedicated live-in superintendent.

The Lifestyle: Prime West End Avenue Located just one block from the lush trails of Riverside Park, the building offers immediate access to the 1 train, crosstown bus, and the West Side Highway. You are minutes from Columbia University and surrounded by the boutique shops and quiet cafes that define the neighborhood.
