Overview: Available for Immediate Occupancy!
10 West End Avenue joins the spate of new condominium developments (Adagio, The Element) in the Lincoln Square vicinity – the West End Avenue to Amsterdam, W. 59th Street to W. 60th Street quadrant. While the building is commanding in height, the exterior design of 10 WEA is not distinguishable from the plethora of all-glass new developments.

River views are impressive from the 31st floor, particularly the two corner three-bedroom apartments with their 24’ x 14’ great rooms.

We arrived just in time to see two of the four designer apartments that 10 West End Avenue had commissioned from four home publications: Annie Selke for Country Living, Celerie Kemble for House Beautiful, Samantha Cook for O at Home, and Barclay Butera for Veranda. Interesting to see the different use of space by nationally recognized designers. You can see the designed apartments at www.designervisionsonline.com.

Ordinary folk have a wonderful basis to complete their own home designs: 10 WEA condominium interiors include tasteful Pianeta Legno Afrormosia wood floors, similarly colored kitchen cabinets with Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking range/convection oven, Bosch dishwasher, and U-Line temperature-controlled wine storage.

Amenities at 10 West End Avenue include:
50’ pool in a spa-like retreat with silver blue slate floors and abundant natural light.
State-of-the-art fitness center designed by Ari Weller
Children’s Activity Center created by the Children’s Museum of Manhattan.

10 West End Avenue offers world-class concierge services — utility setup, move-in coordination, maid services, dinner reservations — through Abigail Newman and Michael Fazio. www.abigailmichaels.com/services.html.


Raves & Faves
Apartments are nicely scaled with 10’ and 11’ ceilings and 8’ doors. Many layouts have open kitchens, which give a more spacious feel.

Not So Hot
Residents of 10 West End Avenue are likely to lose their western-facing views as 10 WEA faces a parking lot owned by Extell with tentative plans to develop two mid-rise buildings fronting West End Avenue and two taller buildings facing the Hudson River.

In winter, it can get blisteringly windy….

Location and Neighborhood
With the swath of new developments including the Rushmore and Avery towards the river, and Adagio and Element toward Lincoln Center, 10 West End Avenue is in a rapidly gentrifying area.

The 10 WEA condominium is close to Lincoln Center, one of the most important cultural centers in Manhattan, housing five major performing groups and the Juillard School. It’s also right near Riverside Park South, the new park being built along the west side of Manhattan. The park includes athletic facilities as well as areas for quiet reflection: three basketball courts, two handball courts, a soccer field, a promontory, esplanade, and winding walkway, and a 715-foot recreational pier are some of the park’s notable features. Since opening in 2000, Riverside Park South has offered a variety of public programming including the “Summer on the Hudson” festival.
