Carter's Review

Marketing for the residential condominium conversion of the 13-story apartment building at 905 West End Avenue on the northwest corner at 104th Street began in 2008.

It was one of three similar buildings designed by Gaetano Ajello for the Paterno Brothers in this attractive stretch of the Upper West Side. The other two at 885 and 895 West End Avenue.

Ajello's other buildings in Manhattan include 473, 505, 514, 575, 645 and 884 West End Avenue, and 160 and 373 Riverside Drive ad the Alameda and Avonova apartments on the Upper West Side.

This building was completed in 1917 and contained 53 apartments.

The building has a large lobby with a staircase and a full-time doorman. The building also has a roof deck and sidewalk landscaping and a bicycle room.

Some of the apartments have four bedrooms, a formal dining room and foyers that measure 13 feet 6 inches by 14 feet 3 inches. Such a unit was initially priced at about $3,750,000 with 90 percent financing for seven years with a 4,875 percent interest rate.

The building was sold in 2006 for $45.5 million by the Nagel Family to Samson Management Corporation of which David Kershner is a principal.

The building has 14 different apartment plans, SubZero refrigerators, granite countertops and some fireplaces.

The building is close to Straus Park at the intersection of West End Avenue and Broadway and the superb Garden of Eden gourmet food store at 107th Street and Broadway.
