The Parc Standard is a clean specimen of the building type that remade Frederick Douglass Boulevard in the corridor's 2000s rezoning era: a 10-story, 28-unit boutique condominium between West 113th and West 114th Streets, three blocks up from Central Park and a block from Morningside Park, delivered into the financial crisis and absorbed out of it. The documents on file in The Roebling Research Library trace that arc precisely — an offering plan accepted in March 2009 under the sponsor's original Spyglass name, a plan declared effective in February 2010 on five contracts, and a condominium association formed that August. For buyers, the value of that paper trail is practical: the declaration, by-laws, amendments, and audited financials are all on file with us, which makes diligence here unusually fast.
The building's economics are its argument. A virtual doorman instead of staff, a compact amenity set (roof deck with fireplace and barbecue, fitness room, dog wash, bike and private storage), and in-unit washer/dryers keep common charges low for the tier, while the 421-a benefit cited in listing records has kept unit tax bills nominal — under $100 a month on recent listings. That combination produces some of the lowest monthly carrying costs per dollar of purchase price in park-adjacent upper Manhattan, and it is the reason the building's compact studios-to-two-bedrooms inventory has held a steady resale audience of first-time buyers and investors.
Operationally, the record on file is reassuring for a 28-unit building: professional management (Solstice Residential Group since 2013), measured common-charge increases (3.5 percent in 2017 and again in 2018 per the audited financial statements on file), deliberate reserve-building through modest assessments — including one explicitly aimed at maintaining the building's standing under agency condo-lending requirements — and steady spending on the elevator, sprinkler and fire-safety systems, and a 2018 facade inspection. Small condos live or die on this kind of housekeeping, and the Parc Standard's is documented.
Architecture and unit composition
Angelo Ng of Angelo Ng & Anthony Ng Architects Studio designed the building with design collaboration by Gene Kaufman Architects, per architectural records: a mid-block, 10-story slab with a two-tone charcoal-gray facade — darker at the base, lighter above — and balconies cut into select upper-floor units. The 28 residences run from studios through two-bedrooms with finish-package interiors from the 2009 cycle: stainless appliances, stone counters, deep soaking tubs, central air, and stacked washer/dryers in the units. The top floors carry the building's premium inventory — penthouse-line units with outdoor space and open western light toward Morningside Park. The lobby's design-forward gestures (slate tile, seating nooks) date to the original marketing and remain the building's signature note, per architectural records.
Building operations
This is a virtual-doorman condominium run lean by design: no on-site staff layer, keyed and camera-controlled access with 24-hour remote door service, and contract cleaning and superintendent services. The commercial unit at the base and the basement community facility both remain sponsor-owned per the audited financial statements on file — the facility is used by unit owners for usage fees, against a common-charge concession to the sponsor — a structure buyers' attorneys should understand before contract. Reserves stood near $181,000 in cash at the most recent year-end statement on file, built through assessments adopted in 2017 and 2018, and the building has been managed by Solstice Residential Group since 2013. The offering-plan amendments, declaration, by-laws, and audited financial statements are on file in The Roebling Research Library.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01847-7503) 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
Underwrite the abatement clock. Listing records cite a 25-year 421-a benefit from the 2009–2010 era — meaning unit taxes will step up to full assessment in the mid-2030s. Today's sub-$100 monthly tax bills are not the permanent state. Model the post-abatement carry before you price your offer, and have your attorney verify the schedule against the Department of Finance record. Run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator both ways.
No staff means virtual staff. The 24-hour virtual doorman handles access and packages remotely; there is no person in the lobby. The trade is materially lower common charges. Buyers coming from full-service buildings should make sure the service model fits before falling for the roof deck.
Understand the sponsor's continuing footprint. The base commercial unit (14.27 percent of common interest) and the basement community facility (2.15 percent) remained sponsor-owned per the financial statements on file, with the facility operated for unit-owner use under a fee-and-concession arrangement. Your attorney should confirm the current ownership and the arrangement's terms — it shapes both governance votes and the lender questionnaire.
Small-condo lending diligence is documented here — use it. The board's assessments were partly designed to keep the building inside agency condo-lending requirements, per the financial statements on file. That is a good sign, but 28-unit buildings still get unit-by-unit lender scrutiny; get the questionnaire early.
The park math is the location case. Central Park is three blocks south at Frederick Douglass Circle, Morningside Park one block west, the B/C at Cathedral Parkway about two blocks away, and the FDB restaurant corridor at the doorstep. For this price tier, that is a structurally strong daily-life position.
What to know if you’re selling
Sell the carry while it lasts. The abatement is a depreciating marketing asset: every year of remaining benefit is quantifiable value to a buyer, and after the mid-2030s it is gone. Price and market with the remaining schedule stated plainly — buyers' agents will model it anyway, and transparency wins the negotiation.
Position against the newer FDB stock. Your buyer is cross-shopping the corridor's larger and newer condos. The Parc Standard's pitch is monthly-cost efficiency, in-unit laundry, outdoor space on the premium lines, and a documented operating record — not amenity breadth. Lead with the numbers.
Have the building file ready. In a 28-unit virtual-doorman condo, the lender questionnaire and the sponsor-unit structure are where deals slow down. We provide the declaration, by-laws, amendments, and financials from The Roebling Research Library to buyers' counsel at contract and pre-clear the questionnaire issues with the managing agent.
