The Apple Bank Building is one of the great civic monuments of the Upper West Side turned into a rare kind of home. Designed by York & Sawyer — the architects of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — and completed in the late 1920s for the Central Savings Bank, it is an Italian Renaissance palazzo occupying the full block from 73rd to 74th Street, with a monumental limestone facade, arched windows, and the cast-iron grilles of the master metalworker Samuel Yellin. The city landmarked the exterior in 1975 and the interior banking hall in 1993; the building is also on the National Register. In 2006 the upper floors were converted into a small luxury condominium, with conversion design by Beyer Blinder Belle, while a bank branch and the protected banking hall remained at the base.
For buyers, the proposition is genuinely scarce: a handful of condominium residences inside a designated landmark, with ceiling heights and architectural bones no new building can replicate. The policy framework is the condominium standard — pieds-à-terre and sublets permitted under the declaration — and the amenities lean into the building's character, including a fitness center set within the original bank vault and a pet wash room. The location is core Upper West Side: the 1/2/3 express at 72nd Street is a block south, and Broadway and Amsterdam retail surround the building.
The Apple Bank Building reads as a landmark-conversion trophy at boutique scale — buyers come for the architecture, the address, and the rarity of the inventory, and accept the realities of living inside a protected, mixed-use landmark.
Architecture and unit composition
The conversion worked within a monumental shell, which is the apartments' advantage and their constraint: ceilings are tall, windows are large and arched, and the limestone bones give the residences a presence new construction cannot match — but the floor plates follow the bank building's structure, so layouts are individual rather than uniform. The roughly 27–29 residences run from one-bedrooms through larger combinations and upper-floor units; finishes are high-end conversion-era, and the best apartments pair the building's architecture with renovated kitchens and baths. Exposure, ceiling height, and configuration drive the premium structure.
Building operations
Boutique condominium within a landmark: 24-hour concierge, a fitness center set within the original bank vault, a pet wash room, central air conditioning, laundry facilities, and bicycle storage. The residential condominium occupies the upper floors above an operating bank branch and the protected banking hall — a structural and landmark point buyers' attorneys should understand, since the mixed-use and landmark status shape both the financials and any alteration approvals. The building's documentation is held in The Roebling Research Library and available to clients during diligence.
Recent sales
The Apple Bank Building trades as a landmark-conversion boutique condominium — pricing supported by the architecture, the rarity of the inventory, and the condominium's permissive framework, with the small unit count keeping the comparable set thin. Condominiums here are priced on a dollars-per-square-foot basis, with the best ceilings, exposures, and renovated condition carrying the premium; because the apartments are individual rather than uniform, building-average figures mislead, and apartment-level context governs. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
You are buying a landmark. The exterior and interior banking hall are protected; alterations and the building's economics carry landmark and mixed-use considerations. Have your attorney review the conversion documents, the relationship to the bank tenancy, and any alteration approvals.
Each apartment is individual. The conversion followed the bank building's structure, so layouts, ceilings, and exposures vary widely. Evaluate each unit on its own; there is no representative floor plan.
The architecture is the value. Tall ceilings, arched windows, and a York & Sawyer landmark shell are the reason to buy here, and they are not reproducible. Weigh that against the realities of living above an operating bank.
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 the landmark. York & Sawyer, the Samuel Yellin grilles, the National Register listing, the vault gym — this is one of the most distinctive residential addresses on the West Side. Use the architecture as the headline.
Anchor to apartment-level comparables. The individuality of the units and the thin comparable set make building averages unreliable; same-unit-type comparables are the right anchor, and we maintain them in the Research Library.
Address the mixed-use reality directly. Buyers should understand the bank tenancy and landmark status; prepare to explain how both affect daily life and the financials.
Mind the mansion-tax thresholds. Inventory trades across the $2 million, $5 million, and higher cliffs. Run the Mansion Tax Calculator at the intended ask.
