Modern, 21st-century buildings are few and far between on the Upper West Side, but a notable exception can be found at 212 West 72nd Street. Upon completion in 2010, its curved glass facade designed by Handel Architects immediately set it apart and promised incredible natural light to the residences within. Now that the reimagined condominium has launched sales, the curved windows and natural light remain a key attraction, not to mention interiors by CetraRuddy and a prime address on West 72nd Street and Broadway.
Available apartments start at $1.25 million for one-beds, $2.075 million for two-beds, $2.7 million for three-beds, and $5.75 million for four-beds. At an average price of $2,388 per square foot, the building comes in well above the local average of $1,669 per square foot (figures per CityRealty data). An offering plan with a $403.6 million sellout was approved in April 2020.

In addition to abundant natural light, the residences feature open, flexible layouts, 5" white oak plank floors, high performance windows, and well optimized storage space. The kitchens come equipped with custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops and backsplash, and integrated Miele appliances. Luxurious primary bedrooms offer generous closet space and en suite baths with honed marble walls and floors, custom vanities, Waterworks fixtures, fluted glass showers, and under-mount soaking tubs.
Residential amenities include a fitness center curated by The Wright Fit with adjacent outdoor terrace, a peaceful lounge, an airy children's playroom, and a roof terrace with spectacular sunset views. A Trader Joe's outpost is in the base of the building, which is also well situated to take advantage of close proximity to Central Park, Riverside Park, Lincoln Center, Beacon Theater, and top Upper West Side restaurants and shopping. The 72nd Street 1/2/3 is across the street, and the A/B/C trains may be found a few blocks east.
212 West 72nd Street's reimagined interiors and amenities have brought the building up to the standards of contemporary condo buyers, but the curved walls and rounded corner windows provide a unique form on Manhattan's gridded streets, which do not lend themselves to whimsical architecture. Inside, the corner windows allow for abundant light and captivating views from multiple angles. We take a look at New York listings with curved windows situated on corners.
