Standing 41 stories and 471 feet tall, Claremont Hall is the tallest building in Morningside Heights, uniquely positioned within the Union Theological Seminary campus at 100 Claremont Avenue. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects with classical influences, this LEED Gold-targeted tower houses 165 one to four bedroom condominiums above the seminary's academic facilities, creating an unusual blend of residential luxury and institutional heritage.
The building's 165 residences feature high end finishes such as European white oak flooring and custom Italian cabinetry in Classic Bianco or Modern Grigio lacquer, paired with Calacatta Laza quartz countertops and Bosch appliance packages. Primary bathrooms showcase Arabescato Cervaiole marble with RAMSA-designed Italian walnut vanities, while fixtures come from premium brands like Kallista, Robern, and Toto. Many residences boast dramatic views of the Hudson River, George Washington Bridge, and the iconic spire of Riverside Church, with select units featuring signature bay windows, Gothic inspired arched windows, or private terraces.
The building's most distinctive amenity is the Refectory Pool, a 48 foot saltwater pool housed within a converted historic dining hall that retains its original Gothic ceilings, chandeliers, and ceiling beams. Additional amenities span three floors and include a double height lobby, a Reading Room with Great Books Collection, a gymnasium, the Little Castle playroom, and a residents' lounge with terrace overlooking Sakura Park. Building services include concierge, handyman, porters, and a live-in resident manager, plus bicycle storage and available parking and private storage for purchase.
Claremont Hall's location offers residents both the tranquility of the seminary campus and proximity to Columbia University, Riverside Park, and the cultural richness of Morningside Heights. The building represents a rare opportunity to live within an active academic institution while enjoying luxury residential amenities and some of Manhattan's most coveted western views.
