A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at One Lincoln Square 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.
One Lincoln Square is a 1995 Millennium Partners condominium tower directly at Lincoln Center — a 30-story building on the Columbus Avenue blockfront between West 66th and West 67th Streets, steps from the opera, the ballet, Juilliard, the Shops at Columbus Circle, and Central Park. For buyers who want a full-service condominium in the cultural heart of the Upper West Side, with the flexibility and fast closings that condominium ownership provides, the building is one of the natural Lincoln Square options.
The building is the work of Gary Edward Handel + Associates, with Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron as architect of record, developed by Millennium Partners — a developer whose name on a 1990s Manhattan condominium signals a particular tier of full-service, amenity-forward product. The tower is a modern glass-and-metal slab anchored at the West 66th Street corner, designed for the open Lincoln Center views and the cultural address that define its value.
A note on the address: the condominium is marketed as "One Lincoln Square" and carries both 144 and 150 Columbus Avenue addresses on the same lot. Buyers and sellers should expect to see the building referenced under any of those three names.
Architecture and unit composition
The 143 residences span 30 stories in the one- to four-bedroom range, with the glass-and-metal envelope built to capture light and Lincoln Center and city views from the upper floors. As a mid-1990s Millennium Partners building, the apartments were finished to a full-service luxury standard of their era, with modern systems throughout. Floor, exposure, and renovation condition drive the value spread between units, with high-floor, view-bearing lines at the top of the building's range.
Building operations
One Lincoln Square runs as a full-service condominium: 24-hour doorman and concierge coverage, a live-in resident manager, a bicycle room, and private storage bins available for rent. Millennium Partners buildings of this generation frequently include health-club and additional recreational amenities, but buyers should confirm the building's full amenity roster — fitness, pool, and any shared facilities — against the offering plan rather than assuming them. Common charges and property taxes reflect a staffed, amenity-bearing full-service condominium; model the full carry on the specific unit.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the engineer identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair before the next inspection cycle. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
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
Pricing at One Lincoln Square is read on a price-per-square-foot basis. The building's value proposition is full-service condominium living at the literal center of Lincoln Square, with the buyer flexibility — pied-à-terre use, investment use, fast closings — that condominium ownership provides and that a co-op cannot match. High-floor, view-bearing units command the building's premiums; lower and interior lines price below them, with renovation condition a meaningful adjustment. Anchor pricing to the building's own recorded sales and to closely matched Lincoln Square condominium comparables.

The retrade record

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01138-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a Lincoln Center full-service condominium. If you want the cultural address, full service, and condominium flexibility in one building, One Lincoln Square is built for exactly that.
Confirm the amenity roster. This is a Millennium Partners building, but verify the specific fitness, pool, and shared facilities against the offering plan rather than assuming the developer's typical package.
Condo flexibility is real. 30–45 day closings, pied-à-terre and investment use permitted, subletting allowed under the declaration. There is no co-op board interview.
Confirm policy details in diligence. Pet policy and other house rules should be confirmed against the building's documents at offer stage; condominium financing and sublet terms are typically flexible but should be confirmed at offer stage.
Mansion tax thresholds apply. At this building's price points the $1M and higher mansion-tax cliffs are routinely in play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with Lincoln Center and the full-service program. The cultural address, the views, and the condominium flexibility are the building's story; foreground all three.
Price on floor, view, and condition. High-floor view lines and renovated units sit at the top of the range; price the rest to their reality.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 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.
