Carter’s Review

"A former garage building that was converted into a warehouse in 1943, this handsome orange, and black brick and cream and royal blue terra-cotta Art Deco building was converted into a residential condominium in 1985 by Aaron Green and British Land of America.

True to its heritage, the building offers residents storage space, always an important concern and amenity, as well as a bicycle room and a driveway, but no garage."

Add Your Own Comment

This "gorgeous" landmarked Art Deco conversion earns raves for its "spotless" lobby and "romantic circular drive." The 1984 residential transformation "masterfully preserved" the building's pre-war character while incorporating modern amenities. Featuring "great staff" and full-time doorman service, this "impeccably maintained" residence sits in a "prime location" just "1.5 blocks" from Lincoln Center, Central Park and Columbus Circle's shopping hub. The building's "convenient" setup includes garage access across the street.
