175W95 is a rare Upper West Side example of a Mitchell-Lama-era rental building brought into the for-sale market. The 28-story tower was built in 1971 as a middle-income rental and exited the Mitchell-Lama program before an affiliate of the Starrett Corporation converted it to condominium ownership, with the plan declared effective in 2015. Today it is a full-service for-sale condominium — its Mitchell-Lama origin is history, not a current restriction — occupying a full blockfront on Amsterdam Avenue between West 95th and West 96th Streets, steps from the 96th Street express station.
The building's conversion story explains its structure. It was a non-eviction conversion, and the sponsor retained a block of rent-regulated rental apartments alongside the for-sale condominium units — so the tower operates as a mixed for-sale and rental building. For a buyer, the practical reality is a deep, active resale market of individually owned condominium apartments with a full staff and a genuine amenity program, at Amsterdam Avenue pricing that sits below the trophy new-construction tier.
The renovation gave the postwar tower a contemporary residential package: a glass entrance marquee, a landscaped street presence, and a rebuilt amenity floor with a residents' lounge, fitness center, and a landscaped terrace with an outdoor kitchen and children's play area. For value-oriented Upper West Side buyers who want full service, on-site parking, and express-train convenience, 175W95 is a practical option.
Architecture and unit composition
The residences run from one-bedrooms through three-bedrooms across the tower's 28 floors, with a substantial number carrying private balconies and, in the larger units, terraces. Renovated apartments carry white-oak floors, quartz and marble kitchen finishes, and name-brand appliance packages; in-unit washer/dryers are common.
The full-blockfront, high-rise massing produces open exposures on the upper floors — Hudson River and city views to the west and open sky above the surrounding rooflines. Because entrances exist on both West 95th and West 96th Streets and along Amsterdam, individual unit exposures vary widely; buyers should confirm the specific outlook of any apartment.
Building operations
175W95 operates as a full-service condominium with 24-hour concierge and doorman coverage, a live-in resident manager, a residents' lounge with billiards, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor children's play areas, a landscaped terrace with an outdoor kitchen, an on-site parking garage, and bicycle and private storage. Because the building includes a retained block of rent-regulated rental units under separate ownership, the condominium and the rental interest share the building's operations — a structure buyers should understand but that does not affect condominium ownership rights.
Common charges and property taxes are typical for a full-service postwar condominium of this scale; buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level.
Recent sales
As a condominium, 175W95 is priced per square foot. Recent asking activity has spanned roughly the range typical for renovated full-service Amsterdam Avenue condos — with one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and three-bedrooms each pricing to their size and floor. The building's value proposition is full service and express-train convenience at pricing below the newest inventory. Pricing varies with floor, exposure, balcony, and renovation condition; apartment-level comparable analysis is the correct basis for pricing any specific unit.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01226-7502) 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
The Mitchell-Lama origin is history, not a restriction. The building exited the program and converted to condominium in 2015; the for-sale units are unrestricted market-rate condominiums.
It is a mixed for-sale and rental building. The sponsor retained a block of rent-regulated rentals; understand the structure, though it does not affect your ownership rights as a condo owner.
Condo flexibility applies with a caveat on pets. Financing is permitted with 20% down; pied-à-terre and subletting are permitted; the pet policy caps at 25 pounds with approval.
Verify exposure and balcony. With entrances on three frontages and a mix of balcony and non-balcony lines, outlook varies widely unit to unit.
Run the cliff thresholds. Larger units transact above the $2M mansion-tax cliff — run any number through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with service, amenities, and location. Full staff, the rebuilt amenity floor, on-site parking, and the 96th Street express train are the core selling points.
Address the conversion story cleanly. Buyers occasionally ask about the Mitchell-Lama origin and the retained rental block; a clear explanation removes friction.
Price at the apartment level. Building averages blend a wide range of exposures and conditions; recent comparables on the specific line should anchor positioning.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
