Recognizable by its three towers between 75th and 76th Streets on Broadway, this turn-of-the-20th-century luxury Upper West Side condominium seamlessly combines classic architectural design with modern finishes. The Astor was commissioned by William Waldorf Astor in 1901, updated with the addition of a third tower in 1914, and recently restored by the venerable design firm of Pembrooke & Ives. Exceptional prewar details remain, from the decorative cornice that crowns the exterior to the intricate mosaic and marble details that lend the lobby its elegant and welcoming character.
A Breathtaking Entrance
Discreetly step off Broadway through bronze-and-glass doors into the lobby, where carefully restored original details – elaborate crown molding, marble wainscoting and columns, intricate mosaic tiling – live alongside artful modern additions, including a monolithic marble slab concierge desk with bronze inlays, a commissioned plaster wall sculpture, and contemporary furnishings that invite socializing. The juxtaposition creates an understated elegance that feels right for today, while still speaking to a bygone era of quality and craft.
