One of New York City’s most
classic neighborhoods is home
to a new luxury building that
redefines what it means to rent
a home in the city. The Corner at 200
West, located on Broadway and 72nd
Street on the Upper West Side, meets its
residents’ refined tastes, addresses their
concerns about the environment, and
fulfi lls their families’ needs all at once. In
fact, since its March opening, well over
half of the building’s apartments have
been rented.
“The response has been
overwhelmingly positive,” says Jeffrey
Kaye, Vice President of Gotham Real Estate
Developers. Why? “I think it’s several things,” Kaye says.
“First: location, location, location. Next, the quality of the
building—it stands apart from other rental apartments on
the market because we’ve paid so much attention to every
detail. And fi nally, the amenity package is great. We have a
kids’ playroom, a rooftop terrace, an in-house concierge and
even a continental breakfast.”
The Corner features 196 luxury rental units and fi ve
fl oors of retail space (a Trader Joe’s is set to open on the
ground fl oor later this year). Families appreciate that apartments
are spacious and include a high number of two- and
three-bedroom homes, each with its own washer-dryer unit
and plenty of closet space—extras that aren’t typically offered
in rental units.
When it comes to interior design and fi nishes, no detail
has been overlooked. Apartments have open kitchens with
custom-wood cabinets, Caesar stone countertops, and Liebherr
and GE appliances, as well as bathrooms with cultured
marble sinks, oversized mirrors, and Kohler faucets.
The Corner manages to blend these high-end touches
with family-friendly amenities without sacrifi cing any of
its sophistication. The building’s playroom, which includes
Macintosh computers and a large screen for watching television
and DVDs, is “playful yet sophisticated so that parents
can entertain their children without feeling like they’re
in Romper Room,” says Kaye. An adjacent fi tness center
features windows that look into the playroom, so parents
can watch their children during their workouts. Families
will love spending time on the common roof deck, which
has a mist wall, sundeck, barbeque area, bar, movie theatre
screen, and glass fi replace. The building also features a fulltime
doorman and concierge and a designated room for
bicycle and stroller storage.
Recognizing that today’s sophisticated renter is also
eco-conscious, Gotham utilized numerous “green” products
when constructing The Corner, including local building materials,
low refl ectivity glass that reduces energy loss, Energy
Saver appliances, and water-saving plumbing features.
The Upper West Side itself features excellent schools
(The Corner is zoned for PS 199), museums, family activity
centers, green spaces like Riverside Park and Central Park,
and proximity to most major subway lines. The Corner is
also within walking distance of world-class cultural hubs,
including Lincoln Center, Symphony Space and the Beacon
Theater.
“The Upper West Side speaks for itself as far as being a
family-friendly neighborhood,” sums up Kaye. “You walk
around a one-block radius of 72nd Street and Broadway and
the amount of strollers you see is pretty incredible. We believe
it’s one of the best locations in all of Manhattan. That’s
why we chose it.”
