175 West 93rd Street (The Westwind)

The Westwind fills its blockfront with the massing economy typical of late-1920s avenue buildings: a beige-brick street wall, ornament concentrated at the base and entrance, and the value delivered inside in plan rather than outside in stone. The 175 apartments run from studios and one-bedrooms through three-bedroom and combined lines; many retain original detail — beamed and high ceilings, hardwood floors, moldings — while kitchen and bath condition varies widely by unit, as the spread in recent listing records shows. Upper floors on the Amsterdam corner carry open western light and avenue views; 93rd Street exposures trade light for quiet. The H- and G-lines among the larger family-sized units appear most frequently in recent trade records.

Full-service at the corridor's standard: 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, central laundry, bike room, and private storage, with the restored lobby as the building's public face. There is no gym or roof deck — carrying costs reflect staff, not amenity programming. The cooperative's offering plan and its forty-eight amendments are on file in The Roebling Research Library; current financial statements should be obtained through the managing agent during diligence, and we review the amendment record with clients' attorneys as a matter of course.

Recent sales

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01224-0001) 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.

You are buying the plan, attributed to the planner. Candela-attributed layouts at this price point are the building's core proposition. Walk the specific line: the foyer sequence, ceiling height, and room scale are where the value sits, and they vary by line and by what prior renovations preserved.

The policy framework is among the corridor's more flexible. 75 percent financing, case-by-case pied-à-terre consideration, and a five-year sublet allowance per listing records — a materially wider gate than the West End Avenue co-ops this building is often cross-shopped against. Verify all three with the managing agent, and run the Co-op Board Qualification Calculator before offering.

Read the amendment record — we have all of it. Forty-eight amendments document the building's sponsor era, including resolved late-1990s sponsor litigation and the building's facade-repair history. Your attorney should review the sequence alongside current financials; we provide the documents.

Confirm the fee stack. The transfer fee exists per listing records but its structure is not publicly documented; sublet fees and assessment history should be confirmed at the same time.

Condition spread is wide — price it. Estate-condition units and gut renovations trade in the same lines. The renovation math is favorable because the bones are good; run the Renovation Cost Calculator before bidding on original condition.

Lead with the attribution, framed honestly. "Candela-attributed, built for the Paterno family" is a real differentiator on Amsterdam Avenue — use it with the precision the record supports, and let the floor plan make the argument.

Position against West End Avenue, not against Amsterdam. Your buyer is comparing pre-war plans, not addresses. The per-foot discount to West End and Riverside stock is the headline; the flexible sublet and financing framework widens your buyer pool beyond strict-co-op shoppers.

Document the building's paper trail. A complete offering plan and amendment file on record shortens attorney diligence and builds buyer confidence. We furnish the underlying documents from the Research Library to serious buyers' counsel.

The Roebling Team at Compass works the Upper West Side pre-war co-op market as a core practice area. We publish this building profile because Westwind buyers and sellers deserve building-specific intelligence — conversion documentation, attribution honesty, policy framework, and corridor-level comparables — not generic neighborhood commentary.
