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, without co-op board admission, 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.

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. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. 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 — 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,511/sf (floor-adjusted) across 5 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 3.3% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
Confirm the condominium terms. There is no co-op board interview; purchases run through the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal process. Confirm closing timing, financing, pied-à-terre, leasing and ownership-entity rules in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules.
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.

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.
