15 West 96 street site of future 22 story condo
CurbedNY and YIMBY are reporting that three small townhouses will be demolished to make room for a 22 story condo building at 15 West 96 street. The building can be built without LPC approval because it is just outside of the historic district. Reportedly, each floor will house a full floor condo except for the duplex penthouse. Since it’s on the North side of the street, the southern exposures will be nice from these apartments and the views especially above the tree line should be excellent.
