The Upper West Side continues to insert sensitively-designed modern condos into its celebrated streetscape of pre-war apartment buildings. In recent weeks, construction netting shrouding the facade of a new condo project called Dahlia has come down revealing a sophisticated and contemporary facade. Situated at 212 West 95th Street, between the short block of Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, the 19-floor building is being moved forward by United Management with Certes Partners and designed through a collaboration between CetraRuddy and RKTB Architects.

Sales began on the 38-unit condo last March with an initial sellout expected to total $136 million; however, by late June, the number surged to $152M, with at least nine units currently in contract and prices continuing to climb on the remaining units. Currently available is a two-bedroom asking $1.995M, several three-bedrooms priced from $2.975M, and a pair of four-bedroom priced at $4.085M and $4.645M. The development leans towards larger, family-sized homes, three of which have received price increases between 1.5% and 2.5%.
Dahlia’s average price of $2,170 per square foot puts it just above its Upper West Side neighborhood’s median of $2,005 per square foot (per CityRealty listings). Construction topped out in January 2019, and completion is estimated for 2020.
All units boast interiors by CetraRuddy soaring ceilings, generous proportions, abundant light, and Crestron home automation system for lighting, window shades, and HVAC. Kitchens are outfitted with quartz countertops and backsplash, custom gray glass cabinetry, and Bosch appliance package. Master suites feature generous closet space and five-fixture bath with high-end finishes, radiant heat, Kohler soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. Six units have private terraces.
Dahlia is located between Central Park and Riverside Park, but residents need only walk out the front door for outdoor space: The building offers a 5,100-square-foot private elevated terrace with a play area for kids and lounge area for adults. Indoor amenities include 24-hour attended lobby, fitness center and yoga studio, children’s playroom, music room, game room, lounge, pet spa, and 32 storage bins for purchase. A private garage has 12 spaces for purchase and an electric vehicle charging station, and those who don’t buy a space benefit from the building’s bike room and location one block from the 96th Street subway stop.
