Carter's Review

This white-brick, 17-story, mid-block apartment building at 430 West 34^th Street between 9^th and 10^th avenues near the Hudson Yards was erected in 1963 when this area was mostly warehouses and train yards and converted to a co-operative in 1988.  The area now is the city’s most impressive redevelopment site and includes Hudson Yards.

This building has 177 apartments.

it was designed by Hyman Isaac Feldman.

The 7-train has a station at Hudson Yards at 33^rd Street and 11^th Avenue.

Bottom Line

A typical “plain vanilla” mid-block Upper East Side apartment building plopped down on Far West 34^th Street way before that area succumbed to gargantuan development.

Description

The wide-brick building has a large entrance marquee with sidewalk landscaping and discrete air-conditioners. 

Its lobby was renovated in 2005.

Amenities

It has a full-time doorman, a landscaped roof deck, a bicycle room, a live-in superintendent and basement storage.  Cats and dogs are allowed.
