The new development planned to be built at 210 West 77th street between Broadway and Amsterdam will have 25 condominium units, and they’ll average more than 3,000 square feet apiece.
Developer Naftali Group is already selling the apartments for $4.9 million to $12 million. Amenities include “a 24 hour doorman, roof terrace, fitness center, play/party room and bike storage.” The $12 million “Townhouse West” apartment is 4,919 square feet; its terrace is 1,280 square feet.
New York YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard!), which posted the rendering above from the architects, is a big fan of the project:
“[Thomas] Juul-Hansen’s design is respectful of the neighborhood’s historic context, and grey bricks lining the exterior will be hand-formed, with Juliet balconies complementing mahogany-lined windows. The building’s mid-rise envelope will be flush with the sidewalk, further enhancing the streetscape.”
The garage at the site has already been torn down (photo below), and the building is likely to take a year or two to complete, YIMBY estimates.

Nice Design but I’m tuired of these prices. I know the foreign investors yada yada But enough already !.
BTW- Hate to be the building behind this development in the picture- There goes the Northern views
I agree with YIMBY (and Wombat) – I like the integrated design.
Pretty excessive for a noisy and well travelled block. You have two HUGE schools to your east; a boutique hotel to your immediate West; and a Fire House directly in front of your door (Hook and Ladder 25). A 1280 SF terrace to watch bells and whistles , , , 24/7! 🙂
The developer and the owners will just instruct the Fire Department to not use sirens and lights until they’re well out of sound range. Very simple.
@ Frank- nice idea but don’t think that would work. They would have to be several blocks away to be out of sound range, and they are not going to listen to any owner or developer if there’s a fire.
Will they get to use the gym?
Love it. Stuff like this lifts all boats.
“YIMBY” is short for “yes in my backyard,” not “yes in my neighborhood.”
I like this. I walked by the other day and wondered what was being built, now I know. I just wish I could afford one!
Thanks. Changed it to backyard. WSR
Naftali actually has some pretty nice projects around town. Check out them out here: https://naftaligroup.com/index.html
supply and demand.
clearly a need for family sized units.
The Harrison and Laurette are filled with families.
It’s a pretty building, but uf you look at some sample floorplans, you will find that the bedrooms are really small…..even the master bedroom is tiny….much smaller than UWS standard pre-war buildings. Only foreigners would be stupid enough to purchase at these prices.
Big building, expensive apartments and horrible design but then who cares the developer will make tons of cash and really, really rich people will have a safe place to park their cash. When they are finished will the storm drains work? Oh, I forgot they don’t work now. Filled with concrete from the last developement project.
But then who cares. Only average humans care about street drainage.
Only one question what type of tax abatements is this project getting. I cannot wait to hear!
Two more years of constant building noise and chaos. This block cannot catch a break. Did you know that building can pretty much go on 6 or 7 days a week in this city. It makes living near construction sites pretty UN bearable. But then only average humans care about sleeping.
no tax abatement Pedestrian. not a bad design compared to most – see the LeTurd rental across the street.
But a lot of construction workers get jobs, tax dollars collected and folks get new homes instead of buying a bunch of smaller units combining them and eliminating those units for others. Say Welcome to your new neighbors!
When will enough ever be enough. How many high end condo/coop apartments do we need on the Upper West Side?
Where is the quality of life? Almost all of the things that attracted many of us to NYC are going, going, gone. Every neighborhood now looks exactly the same — Starbucks, top dollar shoe and clothing stores, banks, banks and more banks, D/R, Rite-Aid, etc.
And don’t forgot the Disney land at 42nd Street and the mini-parks outside of parks that have closed off major thoroughfares.
The city does not have the water, gas and sewer lines to accommodate all these additional people.
Is NYC going to soon become an exclusive island retreat for the super rich only?
What makes NYC unique is its ethnic, cultural identity that transcends economic classes.
The city needs to build more real affordable housing for low and moderate income families.
I am curious about the fire station on west 77th street. Are there any plans to relocate the forestation with the new developments going up and possibly making it difficult for easy fire truck access?
