Why Buyers Choose 720 West End Avenue
Emery Roth's 1927 Landmark Reimagined by Thomas Juul-Hansen
720 West End Avenue is one of those rare projects where the architecture tells a genuine story. Originally built in 1927 as Hotel Marcy by the legendary Emery Roth, it has been reimagined by Thomas Juul-Hansen and BP Architects into 131 luxury condominiums. Our clients who value architectural character over generic new construction find this building irresistible. The Renaissance Revival facade, the pre-war proportions, the sense of history in every hallway. And then you walk into a residence and find Boffi kitchens, Namibia Rose marble, and continuous white oak flooring. It is the best of both worlds and a true rarity.
Emery's Bar Is Unlike Anything Else on the Upper West Side
Every building has a gym and a lounge, but how many have a residents-only speakeasy? Emery's Bar, named for the building's original architect, captures the spirit of a bygone era with an intimate, members-only atmosphere that feels genuinely special. Our clients who entertain frequently or simply want a sophisticated spot to unwind without leaving the building consistently tell us that Emery's Bar was a decisive factor in their purchase decision. It is one of those amenities that sounds like a gimmick until you see it in person. Then it becomes the reason you choose the building.
30,000 SF of Amenities with Squash and Basketball Courts
The amenity program at 720 West End is remarkably comprehensive for a pre-war conversion. Approximately 30,000 square feet includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga and pilates studios, a squash and basketball court, The Marcy Library curated by renowned Columbia historian Kenneth Jackson, a game room with golf simulator, maker's studio, music room, co-working space, children's playroom, and a private parking garage. Our active clients particularly value the squash and basketball court, which is an amenity that is almost impossible to find in Manhattan residential buildings at any price point.
Upper West Side Location Between Two Parks
720 West End Avenue sits between West 95th and 96th Streets with Riverside Park to the west and Central Park to the east. Just one block from the 1, 2, and 3 subway trains, with Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History nearby. Our family-focused clients love this location because the Upper West Side remains one of Manhattan's most genuinely livable neighborhoods, with excellent schools, abundant parks, and a residential character that Midtown and Downtown cannot replicate. Starting from $975,000, the pricing is competitive for this caliber of finish on the UWS.
Our Take on 720 West End Avenue
720 West End Avenue is the kind of project we get genuinely enthusiastic about because it combines something old and irreplaceable with something new and excellently executed. Originally built in 1927 as Hotel Marcy by Emery Roth, one of the most important residential architects in New York history, the building has been transformed by Thomas Juul-Hansen and BP Architects for Glacier Equities and InterVest Capital Partners into 131 luxury condominiums.
The conversion is thoughtful. Two new penthouse floors crown the building with modern grandeur while preserving the Renaissance Revival facade and pre-war proportions that define the original structure. Inside, every residence features custom Boffi kitchens with white oak cabinetry, honed Namibia Rose marble countertops, Waterworks fixtures, and professional-grade appliances. Primary bathrooms are finished in honed Volakas marble. Continuous white oak flooring and integrated lighting tie everything together.
The amenity program at approximately 30,000 square feet is one of the most extensive on the Upper West Side. Emery's Bar, the residents-only speakeasy, gets the most attention, and deservedly so. But the squash and basketball court, The Marcy Library curated by Kenneth Jackson, the game room with golf simulator, the maker's studio, and the music room all reflect a building that was designed for people who actually live in their buildings rather than just sleep in them.
Residences range from one to five bedrooms and penthouses starting at $975,000. The Upper West Side location between Riverside Park and Central Park, one block from the subway, near Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History, is one of the most coveted residential addresses in Manhattan.
For buyers who want pre-war character with new construction finishes, this is the building we recommend first.
