207 West 79th Street — marketed as 207W79 — is a condominium completed in 2017, mid-block between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects and developed by Anbau, it is a 13-story building of 19 residences behind a neo-pre-war limestone base with terracotta floral panels — a contextual design approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission for its location inside a historic district.
The proposition here is new construction with a landmark-approved, pre-war-inspired identity at boutique scale. The building sits within the Upper West Side / Central Park West Historic District, near Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and the 1 train at 79th Street. Its 19 residences include two townhouse homes and a penthouse with a private roof terrace. For the buyer who wants contemporary construction and full-service amenities inside a genuine pre-war-scaled, landmark-district building, the property is a distinctive choice.
Building operations
The condominium runs as a full-service building: a 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, elevator, a fitness center, a children's playroom, a bike room, storage, and in-unit laundry, with a private roof terrace at the penthouse — a full amenity set for a boutique 19-residence building. As a condominium, ownership is by deed rather than shares, which gives owners the flexibility condominiums are known for — financing, subletting, and pied-à-terre use are governed by the condominium's declaration and bylaws rather than by co-op board approval. Because the building sits within a historic district, exterior work is subject to Landmarks review. Confirm common charges, real estate taxes, and any assessment at offer stage.
Recent sales
Condominium pricing is read on a per-square-foot basis, and 207W79 trades as a design-driven, landmark-district Upper West Side condominium — pricing has averaged around $2,331 per square foot, roughly $1,943 to $3,053 per square foot across the building. A townhouse residence sold for approximately $12.4M, and unit 7A traded around $5.2M. With only 19 residences, resale volume is thin. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the square footage, the floor, the exposure, the outdoor space, and finish level rather than relying on a neighborhood average. Genuinely variable financial figures should be confirmed at offer stage.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01227-7501) 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 condominium, so the path is a straightforward purchase governed by the declaration and bylaws rather than a co-op board package and interview — an application and financials review, but with the deed ownership and flexibility condominiums offer. Read the rules on the points that matter to you — subletting, pets, and storage — and review the condominium's reserve and operating budget, along with the implications of the historic-district designation for future exterior work. The reasons to buy are the Morris Adjmi design, the landmark-approved pre-war identity, the full amenity set, and the location near Central Park and the museum.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is the Morris Adjmi design, the terracotta-paneled limestone façade approved by Landmarks, and full-service new construction inside a pre-war-scaled historic district. The 2017 vintage, the two townhouse homes, and the penthouse with private terrace sell to a buyer who wants contemporary construction with a distinctive, landmark-approved identity. Pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: square footage, floor, light, outdoor space, and finish level drive the number more than any block average. We position the building's design pedigree, amenities, and setting, and benchmark against the right comparable tier of design-driven Upper West Side condominiums.
