On the corner of Broadway and 72nd Street, 212 West 72nd Street stands out for its curved glass facade, a rarity in a neighborhood where prewar-inspired architecture is increasingly more common. Not only does it make a dramatic streetscape statement, but it allows for unique floor plans and abundant natural light for the apartments inside.
Closings have just commenced, and remaining availabilities start at $1.379 million for one-bedrooms, $2.235 million for two-bedrooms, $2.99 million for three-bedrooms, and $5.9 million for four-bedrooms.
