In proximity to some of the city’s greatest apartment houses — namely The Ansonia, The Astor and The Apthorp, comes a contemporary new condo at 207 West 75th Street. The modest-in-scale offering is spearheaded by Opal Holdings who acquired the 25-foot-wide lot in 2011. After a rocky start where the local community board (and Pat Kiernan) shot down a proposal for a taller project, a discreet seven-floor building now stands in place of a two-story stable house. Now in its home stretch of construction, the Warburg Realty sales and marketing team will begin sales tomorrow on the building’s six full-floor condos priced from $3,999,995.
Upon entering a stylish lobby finished in polished Calacatta polished marble, each residence is entered through a key-lock elevator. The homes comprise five 3-bedrooms on the second through sixth floor and a two-bedroom penthouse with its own 1,416-square-foot roof deck.

Fresh photos of a model unit (Residence 6) staged by Gary Brown Interiors show the residences will have open floor plans, ash brown oak wood floors, beamed ceilings. The press release says open kitchens will have a breakfast bar, premium Miele appliances, white cabinetry with custom millwork, and Silestone quartz counters. Additionally, there will be marble baths and a separate laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. Common amenities include a part-time doorman, private basement storage, as well as cold and bike storage.

The building is designed by Jeffrey Cole Architects who also handled the design of the Whitman whose units were purchased by the likes of Chelsea Clinton and Jennifer Lopez. The building is sited midblock on an archetypal Upper West Side side-street between Broadway and Columbus Avenue. The Beacon Theater is across the way, the express 72nd Street subway station is steps away and Central and Riverside Parks are equidistant 5-minute walks to the east and west.
As of mid-April, the building’s façade is nearly fully installed. Said to be a modern take on a pre-war building, it is finished in porcelain stone tiles, dark grey metal panels, and exposed steel that frames the top floor.
207 West 75th is surrounded by some of the most coveted real estates in Manhattan and the shortage of new development sites leads to a chronic shortage of available units and unapologetically high prices. According to our sales data, average closing prices on the Upper West Side’s Broadway corridor now top $1,700 a foot. Directly behind the building is the 2010-finished Laureate where its two condos, a 4-bed for $9.5M and a 6-bed for $12.995M, average more than $3,000 a foot.
