A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Orleans would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Orleans is a 1900 Beaux-Arts former hotel converted into a boutique condominium of 23 large residences, sitting on the Columbus Avenue corner of West 80th Street — directly facing the American Museum of Natural History and a single block from Central Park. Few buildings on the Upper West Side combine that location, that pedigree, and that scale of apartment: with two residences per floor, the homes here are true half-floor layouts of three to five bedrooms.
Buchman & Deisler designed the original building as the Orleans Hotel at the turn of the twentieth century — red brick and stone rising from a two-story rusticated limestone base, capped by a copper-trimmed roofline. That hotel envelope is exactly what makes the conversion attractive: thick masonry walls, generous ceiling heights, and the kind of street presence that new construction cannot manufacture. The condominium conversion in the mid-2010s reorganized the interior into a small number of very large homes while preserving the historic exterior.
One point of accuracy worth stating plainly: the building is frequently called a landmark in conversation, and it is not an individually designated landmark, but it is within the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District, so exterior alterations are subject to Landmarks Preservation Commission review. The colloquial label is descriptive praise; the district designation is the official status.
Architecture and unit composition
The defining feature is the half-floor plan. With two residences per floor across 11 stories and 23 total units, the homes are large — three to five bedrooms — with the proportions of a converted grand hotel: high ceilings, deep rooms, and strong light on the upper floors. East-facing residences look across Columbus Avenue toward the museum and Theodore Roosevelt Park, the museum grounds; the building's corner position gives many units dual exposures. Outlook varies by floor and line — confirm it from the specific apartment.
The Beaux-Arts envelope — brick and stone over rusticated limestone — was built to last and reads as solidly prewar from the street. Interiors were finished to a contemporary luxury standard during the conversion.
Building operations
The Orleans runs as a boutique full-service condominium with 24-hour doorman coverage, a resident manager, and an attended lobby. Because it is a small conversion of a former hotel, the building's amenity footprint is concentrated in service rather than recreational facilities; buyers should confirm the presence of any fitness, roof, or storage facilities against the offering plan. Common charges and property taxes reflect a staffed building of large apartments; model the full carry on the specific unit.
As a recent conversion of an old structure, due diligence should include the offering plan, current financials, the reserve study, and board minutes, with particular attention to how the conversion addressed the building's century-old systems.

Monthly carrying charges in recent sales
- Common charges alone, per square foot
- $1.48 per square foot a monthMedian of 3 listings since October 2023 that give the annual taxSource: listing records, refreshed October 2026
- Real estate taxes alone, per square foot
- $1.32 per square foot a monthMedian of 3 listings since October 2023 that give the annual taxSource: listing records, refreshed October 2026
Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
Pricing at The Orleans is read on a price-per-square-foot basis. The product is scarce — half-floor, multi-bedroom homes in a boutique converted hotel facing the museum and a block from Central Park — and that scarcity supports premium pricing, with upper-floor asking prices in recent cycles reaching into the multi-million-dollar range. With only 23 units and a homogeneous large-format mix, in-building comparables are few; floor, exposure, and renovation condition drive the variation between sales. Anchor pricing to the building's own recorded trades and to closely matched large UWS condo comparables.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $2,121/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount -0.5% over ask.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a half-floor product. If you want a genuinely large three-to-five-bedroom home with prewar bones in a boutique building facing the museum and a block from the park, this is the niche it fills.
It is not an individual landmark, but it is in a historic district. Despite the colloquial label, the building has no individual-landmark designation; it is within the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District, so exterior alterations are subject to LPC review. Confirm the specifics of any planned work in diligence.
Confirm the amenity footprint. This is a service-forward boutique conversion; verify any gym, roof, or storage facilities against the offering plan rather than assuming them.
Condominium ownership. No co-op board admission; purchases run through the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal process. Confirm pied-à-terre, investment and subletting rules and the closing timeline in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's price points the higher mansion-tax cliffs are routinely in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the museum and the park. The location — facing the Museum of Natural History, a block from Central Park — and the half-floor scale are the building's headline. Marketing should foreground both.
Price against the building's own sales. With a small homogeneous unit count, in-building trades are the most reliable anchor.
Closing timelines follow condominium process. Right of first refusal rather than co-op board admission; confirm the application requirements and timing for the specific sale.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
