New renderings have been revealed for 200 West 88th Street, an 18-story residential tower currently under construction on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects and developed by Nortco Development, the 215-foot-tall structure will span 114,000 square feet and yield 36 condominium units in three- to five-bedroom layouts. The building will also contain ground-floor retail space and enclosed parking spaces on the second level. The property is alternately addressed as 568-574 Amsterdam Avenue and located at the corner of West 88th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.

The above main rendering is oriented looking southwest at 200 West 88th Street. The building features a typical RAMSA prewar-inspired design with a multifaceted massing incorporating numerous setbacks on the upper levels for private terraces. The façade will be composed of a mix of beige brick and limestone surrounding a grid of large rectangular and arched windows, as well as arched cutouts for pocketed terraces. Contrasting black metal paneling covers some sections of the upper stories, and the building will culminate in a bulkhead with ornamental grilles.

Above is an aerial dusk rendering looking south at the upper levels, previewing the spotlights that will illuminate the façade and Art Deco crown.

Updated renderings of the West 88th Street frontage show the main entrance flanked by arched openings for the retail frontage and motor courtyard driveway. New tree-lined sidewalks with garden beds will sit in front of the property. The property was formerly occupied by a series of low-rise structures. 

Nortco Development purchased the four abutting lots in 2018 for $46 million, and demolition permits were first filed in the summer of 2024.

Residential amenities will include bicycle storage, a fitness room, a yoga studio, and a music room. Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing will be handling sales and marketing for the homes, which will come in half- and full-floor layouts.

The nearest subway from the development is the 1 train at the 86th Street station to the west along Broadway.

200 West 88th Street is slated to become the first all-electric residential building by Robert A. M. Stern Architects in New York City. The building is currently topped out with façade installation underway, and completion is expected in spring 2027, as noted on site.
