Carter’s Review

"The Olcott is a handsome, 16-story, mid-block, pre-war apartment building at 27 West 72nd Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue.

It was erected in 1925 and 99 of its 102 rental apartments were converted to condominiums in 2005 by Brack Capital, of which Mose Dan-Azougi is a principal, and Stellar Management of which Laurence Gluck is a principal. "

This "gracefully converted" pre-war gem offers "elegant living" in the "heart of the Upper West Side" with a "magnificently restored" lobby and "thoughtful" modern amenities including a "private dining room," "well-equipped fitness center" and "supervised children's playroom." The "full-service" building sits "steps from Central Park" and "multiple subway lines," while apartments blend "pre-war charm" with "exquisite modern finishes." "Attentive" 24/7 staff and "prime location" near "cultural venues" and "dining options" make this a "standout residence" for "discerning" Upper West Siders.
