Savills Singapore Presents 720 West End Avenue: A Historic Luxury Residence On Manhattan’s Upper West Side

Savills Singapore is delighted to present 720 West End Avenue, an extraordinary residential development on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. 

This prestigious project transforms a 1927 Emery Roth-designed pre-war building into 131 modern residences, seamlessly blending timeless architecture with contemporary living.

Originally built as the Hotel Marcy, 720 West End Avenue has undergone a metamorphosis led by Glacier Equities and InterVest Capital Partners. The iconic Renaissance Revival-style façade has been carefully restored to preserve its intricate architectural details, including the marquee, main entry, and stone base. Standing 17 stories tall on a corner of West End Ave., which has the longest stretch of pre-war architecture in Manhattan, the building has two newly added floors housing exclusive penthouse duplexes with expansive outdoor spaces.

The property offers a variety of residences, including one- to five-bedroom homes, townhouse duplexes, and penthouses with private terraces. Sizes range from approximately 500 to over 3,700 sq ft.

Designed by award-winning designer Thomas Juul-Hansen, the interiors reflect a harmonious blend of pre-war charm and contemporary style. Residences are warm and inviting, featuring integrated lighting, bespoke architectural details, and continuous white oak flooring. Residents will enjoy stunning views of the Hudson River and city skyline, complemented by natural light and open layouts that balance character and minimalist style with modern conveniences.

Emphasising lifestyle and convenience, 720 West End Avenue offers over 30,000 sq ft of amenities. Highlights include a state-of-the-art fitness centre, private bar and dining room, library and co-working spaces, outdoor terraces and courtyards, private parking and bike storage and more.

Located close to Riverside Park, Central Park, and prominent cultural institutions, the property is also near the Henry Hudson Parkway and just steps from subway stations serving the 1, 2, and 3 lines, providing seamless access across Manhattan.

“720 West End Ave. presents a unique opportunity for buyers to call this one-of-a-kind property and piece of New York City’s architectural history home in one of Manhattan’s most beloved neighbourhoods,” says Myles Horn, Managing Partner of Glacier Equities. “We set out to create a new chapter for this iconic development that has been modernised for city living today while retaining the original charm and historical significance of its past as a cornerstone property on West End Ave. We are proud to offer a thoroughly extraordinary new residential offering to the neighbourhood.”

Ruben Koh, Senior Director and Head of International Residential Sales at Savills Singapore comments, “New York has always captivated Asian investors with its vibrant culture, dynamic lifestyle, and boundless energy. It’s the city where people aspire to live, work, and thrive. 720 West End Avenue offers a unique opportunity to experience the quintessential New York lifestyle, combining timeless elegance with contemporary comfort. Its seamless blend of modern design and thoughtfully crafted spaces sets the development apart. With its prime location and world-class amenities, this is an unparalleled offer for discerning buyers in the region.”

720 West End Avenue will be presented on 11 & 12 January 2025 at the voco Orchard Hotel, Singapore Room, Level 5. There will also be a seminar on “The Key to NYC’s Real Estate Market” at 3pm on both days.
