A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Park Columbus 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.
Park Columbus is a full-service condominium at the corner of Columbus Avenue and West 87th Street, built in 1986 as a rental and converted to condominium ownership in 2013 with a comprehensive renovation. The conversion delivered what the original rental could not: renovated and newly built one- to four-bedroom residences, outdoor-space layouts, a full-floor penthouse, and a complete amenity program — all within a boutique 72-unit building two blocks from Central Park.
The value proposition is a modern, renovated condominium product in an established Upper West Side location. Where much of the surrounding inventory is prewar cooperative, Park Columbus offers newer interiors, a full amenity suite, and condominium flexibility — financing latitude, pied-à-terre eligibility, and condominium-speed closings. For a buyer who wants turn-key condition and modern building services near the park, without the governance overhead of a cooperative, the building is a clean fit.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a twelve-story 1980s masonry mid-rise. The 2013 conversion re-planned and renovated the interiors, producing a mix of fully renovated and newly constructed residences ranging from one-bedroom layouts to four-bedroom configurations, including apartments with private outdoor space and a full-floor penthouse.
The roughly 72 residences reflect the conversion's contemporary planning — efficient layouts, updated finishes, and, in select lines, private terraces. Condition is generally strong given the recent conversion, though individual apartments vary with any subsequent renovation.
Building operations
Park Columbus operates as a full-service condominium with a full-time doorman/concierge. The amenity program is complete for a boutique building: a fitness center, a landscaped courtyard garden, a garden lounge with a media center, a sky terrace, and a children's playroom. The building is pet-friendly.
Common charges and property taxes are consistent with a recently converted full-service Upper West Side condominium. Buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level and review current financial statements, board minutes, and any reserve study during due diligence — with attention, as with any recent conversion, to the building's post-conversion capital and reserve position.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign 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
Park Columbus trades as a recently converted full-service Upper West Side condominium, and pricing is best read on a price-per-square-foot basis against the corridor's other doorman condominiums. Value is driven by renovation condition, floor height, exposure, outdoor space, and layout, with the recent conversion and full amenity program functioning as pricing supports against older inventory. Apartment-level closing detail should be sourced from public records for full transactional context, and pricing should be validated against the most recent comparable sales at the time of offer.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a recent conversion — diligence the reserves. The 2013 conversion delivered renovated product; confirm the building's post-conversion capital and reserve position during due diligence.
Condition and outdoor space drive price. The renovated interiors and, in select lines, private terraces are the building's core value. Walk the specific apartment.
Condominium flexibility applies. Financing, pied-à-terre use, and subletting are governed by the condominium rather than a cooperative board; closings run on condominium timelines.
The amenity package is complete for a boutique building. Fitness center, courtyard, garden lounge, sky terrace, and playroom. Confirm any separate amenity fees.
Model the full carry at the apartment level and verify board policy at offer stage.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with turn-key condition and condominium flexibility. Recent conversion, modern interiors, and condominium mechanics differentiate the building from prewar cooperative competition near the park.
Position outdoor space where it exists. Terraces and outdoor layouts materially expand the buyer pool.
Pricing requires apartment-level context. Comparable sales vary by line, floor, condition, and outdoor space.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30 to 60 days from contract to closing.

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.
