The Corner sits at one of the busiest crossroads on the Upper West Side — the southwest angle of Broadway and 72nd Street, at the doorstep of the express subway and a block from Verdi Square. Designed by Handel Architects and completed in 2010, the building opened as a high-end rental with a stepped, rounded corner that gave it instant presence on the avenue. In 2019 the property changed hands, and a 2020 condominium conversion reconfigured the rental floors into a smaller count of for-sale residences — the building now trades as a condominium, with a sales history dating from that conversion.
For buyers, the proposition is recent-construction condominium living at the 72nd Street crossroads with a full amenity program. The policy framework is the condominium standard — pieds-à-terre and sublets permitted under the declaration — and the building's services run deep: doorman, concierge, valet and housekeeping services, a landscaped roof deck, a fitness center, and a residents' lounge. The location math is hard to beat in the corridor: the 1/2/3 express at 72nd Street is across the intersection, the Broadway retail spine runs past the door, and Riverside Park and Central Park are both short walks.
Two facts shape the building's story honestly. First, it is a conversion from a 2010 rental — the bones are recent-construction, the for-sale history is shorter than the building's age suggests, and the unit count was reconfigured in the 2020 conversion. Second, the corner carries real history: The Corner stands on the site of the 1892 Colonial Club, a celebrated clubhouse the city declined to landmark before its 2007 demolition. Buyers value the modern building; the block's history is part of the marketing story.
Architecture and unit composition
The stepped, rounded corner massing gives the better lines open angles down Broadway and 72nd Street and, on upper floors, outlooks toward the river and the park. The condominium residences — reconfigured from the original rental floors — run from one-bedrooms through larger multi-bedroom lines and a crown of upper-floor units, several reconfigured into larger combinations during the conversion. Finishes are 2010-era new development upgraded through the conversion; in-unit washer/dryers are standard. Floor height and exposure drive the premium structure.
Building operations
Full-service condominium: 24-hour doorman and concierge, landscaped roof deck with grill and lounge areas, fitness center, residents' lounge with fireplace, children's playroom, bicycle and private storage, and on-site valet and housekeeping services. The ground-floor retail — including a heavily trafficked Trader Joe's — is part of the mixed-use base; buyers' attorneys should confirm how the retail economics flow through the condominium financials. The building's documentation is held in The Roebling Research Library and available to clients during diligence.
Recent sales
The Corner trades as recent-construction condominium stock at the 72nd Street crossroads — pricing supported by the modern build, the amenity program, and the condominium's permissive framework, which keeps investors and pied-à-terre buyers in the pool. Condominiums here are priced on a dollars-per-square-foot basis, with high-floor and corner lines carrying the premium and lower interior lines setting the entry point; the 2020 conversion vintage means the for-sale comparable set is relatively short, so apartment-level context matters more than building averages. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The retrade record

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01163-7503) 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
Understand the conversion history. The building is recent construction (2010) but a relatively young condominium (2020 conversion). Have your attorney review the conversion documents, the reserve position, and any sponsor-held inventory — the for-sale operating history is shorter than the building's physical age.
The corner is lively — price your tolerance. Broadway and 72nd is the West Side at full volume. Higher floors and west- and south-facing lines buy quiet; spend an evening at the corner before contract.
Buy the corner exposure. The stepped, rounded massing produces strong angled light on the better lines; per-foot spreads inside the building are wide and rational.
Condo flexibility is real. Pieds-à-terre, sublets, and investor use are permitted under the declaration. Confirm any financing limits, flip tax, and current sublet terms against the by-laws and managing agent at offer stage.
Model the full carry. Common charges plus property taxes plus utilities — run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator on the specific unit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and recency. The 72nd Street express below, recent construction, deep services — for the corridor's buyer pool, that package is the headline. Say it plainly.
Frame the conversion as a feature. Modern bones with condominium ownership and a fresh capital position is a strong story against the corridor's aging co-op stock. Have the conversion and reserve documentation ready.
Anchor to line-specific comparables. The short for-sale history makes building-average pricing unreliable; same-line and same-exposure comparables are the right anchor, and we maintain them in the Research Library.
Mind the mansion-tax thresholds. Inventory trades across the $1 million, $2 million, and higher cliffs. Run the Mansion Tax Calculator at the intended ask.
