A nine story addition addition will be soon be added to 711 West end avenue. The developer of the 9 story building above 711 WEA will add 64 condos to the building between 94th and 95th street on Manhattan’s upper west side. It is a joint venture with the building’s owner who will retain ownership of the underlying building and gain an equity stake and eventually apartments in the new building.

There are 130 rent stabilized apartments in 711 WEA and tenants and local leaders have fought the addition and are concerned that this may set a precedent.  The project has passed approval of the Department of Buildings and awaits the closure of the school year and a site inspection to begin construction.
