The Sofia at 43 West 61St Street Building Details
The Sofia Condominium is a highly celebrated, landmarked residential tower prominently situated in the premier Lincoln Square section of Manhattan's Upper West Side. Originally constructed in 1929-1930, this architectural marvel is one of the city's few surviving pre-war commercial-to-residential conversions. The tiered brick and terra-cotta structure was initially designed in the Art Deco style as a highly innovative, automated parking garage, before transitioning into the famed Sofia Brothers Warehouse in the 1940s. Masterfully converted into a luxury residential condominium, the historic property now houses 92 premier apartments. It is serviced to a full-service standard by an attentive, full-time staff and a dedicated live-in resident manager.
The building features striking architectural depth and an array of unique physical amenities that harken back to its grand industrial proportions. Residents and guests are welcomed by a spectacular, planted and canopied entrance that sits elegantly back from 61st Street, fronted by a rare, two-way semi-circular driveway designed for convenient vehicle loading and unloading. The building's robust infrastructure provides an exceptional standard of daily convenience, highlighted by a central laundry facility located on every single residential floor. Additionally, the property features a dedicated bicycle storage room and a common resident storage facility, which is offered to shareholders entirely free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis.
Occupying a coveted geographic position, The Sofia Condominium places residents at the absolute epicenter of Manhattan's cultural, academic, and natural landmarks. The building is situated directly across the street from the world-renowned Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the verdant Manhattan campus and sculpture garden of Fordham University. Shareholders enjoy immediate proximity to Columbus Circle, the upscale retail shops at The Shops at Columbus Circle, and the expansive lawns of Central Park. For effortless city-wide commuting, transit infrastructure is unparalleled, with rapid access to a major transportation hub servicing the 1, A, B, C, and D subway lines alongside multiple local and express bus routes just moments away.
