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."

Broker & Buyer Comments

Wonderful building, great staff. Romantic circular drive. Building exterior is gorgeous landmarked Art Deco, and when the building was converted to a residential the architect carried the Art Deco design and details inside

Condo board. Requires full package, but only has right of first refual. Takes a long time to review though.

Incredible neighborhood. 1.5 blocks to Lincoln Center, Central Park, Time Warner Center, Columbus Circle.
Pre-war former warehouse converted in 1984. Spotless art deco inspired lobby, F/T doorman, garage across the street, convenient Columbus Circle location, 2 blks from Central Park
