The Westly is a 20-story condominium located between Riverside Park and Central Park in New York City. The building, designed by architecture firm ODA and developed by Adam America and Northlink Capital, features 52 homes with 2 to 5 bedrooms. The design of the building is inspired by classic New York architecture and incorporates Art Deco elements. Each unit features oak floors, marble countertops and backsplashes, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances.

The building also offers a range of amenities, including a concierge, fitness center, rooftop deck with a pool, and a pet grooming station. The Westly is located in the Upper West Side neighborhood and is close to restaurants, shops, and public transportation.

Design and Architecture

The 20-story building boasts a pre-war style that complements the Upper West Side’s architectural legacy with contemporary accents and a striking white façade that stands out among the neighborhood’s other buildings. The building’s double-height lobby features a curved staircase and beautiful marble finishes that exude luxury and sophistication.

The spacious layouts of the units are another highlight of the building, with clearly defined spaces separated by corridors and foyers, providing more privacy and exclusivity to the residents. The oversized windows flood the units with natural light and offer stunning views of the Upper West Side and the Hudson River.

The design of the Westly also emphasizes outdoor living spaces. The private outdoor terraces are perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests, while the stunning rooftop terrace boasts a beautiful outdoor swimming pool, lounge seating, and 360-degree views of the neighborhood, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day.

The building also features sustainable design elements, including energy-efficient appliances and a green roof, further demonstrating the developers’ commitment to creating a building that’s not just beautiful but also environmentally friendly.

Interior Design and Finishes

The Westly’s interior design is sophisticated, with a modern and light aesthetic. The residences feature plank oak floors, marble finishes in the kitchens and bathrooms, and oversized windows, which flood the space with natural light.

The kitchens are outfitted with integrated Gaggenau appliances, honed crema delicato marble countertops, and a matching range hood. The primary bedrooms are spacious and can easily accommodate king-sized beds. They also feature spa-like bathrooms and cavernous walk-in closets. The four-bedroom units even come with a home office, providing residents with ample space to work from home or set up an alternative room for their needs.

The design of each unit is reminiscent of pre-war layouts, with clear separation between the spaces and corridors, providing an open and airy feel. The bathrooms are lined with honed Calacatta Gold and thassos mosaic flooring, Calacatta Gold marble slab walls and countertops, custom white lacquer oak vanities, Duravit floor-mounted toilets, Waterworks polished nickel fixtures, and radiant-heated floors. The penthouse units are especially luxurious, with crema delicato marble-clad fireplaces and private outdoor space spanning more than 1,000 square feet.

Amenities

The Westly offers a range of luxurious amenities designed to provide residents with a high-quality lifestyle. The 45-foot outdoor pool, located on the roof terrace, offers stunning 360-degree views of the Upper West Side and is surrounded by comfortable lounge seating and landscaping. The double-height lobby with a curved staircase creates an impressive entrance, while the 24-hour concierge service ensures residents are always taken care of.

The fitness center and yoga studio provide an opportunity for residents to stay healthy and active, and the lounge, children’s playroom, youth gaming room, and music room offer relaxation and entertainment options. The building also features a bike storage room and a pet grooming station. Private storage units are available for purchase for residents who require extra storage space.

Location and Surrounding Area

The Westly is situated in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Manhattan, the Upper West Side. The building is strategically located between two of New York City’s most popular parks, Central Park and Riverside Park. The neighborhood is home to some of the city’s most elite private schools like Dwight, Trinity, and Columbia Prep, as well as prestigious higher education institutions like Columbia and Fordham University.

Apart from education, the area offers a wide range of entertainment and cultural venues, restaurants, and other extracurricular activities that cater to families. The location provides easy access to transportation, with the 96th Street subway station nearby, serving the 1, 2, and 3 trains.

Current Availability

The residences range in size from approximately 1,252 to 3,524 square feet, with asking prices starting at approximately $2.9 million for a two-bedroom home to $13.5 million for a five-bedroom home. Additionally, there are two highly exclusive penthouses that span approximately 3,500 square feet with more than 1,000 square feet of private outdoor space.

It’s worth noting that 25% of the residences have already been sold, leaving approximately 75% of the units still available for purchase.
