A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Chatillion would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Chatillion is one of the small Beaux-Arts gems of Riverside Drive — a 1901 building whose curved limestone corner follows the bend of the Drive at 94th Street, its name carved above a colonnaded angled entrance. It is the kind of turn-of-the-century apartment house that gives Riverside Drive its character: a rusticated stone base, an ornamented facade, and a rounded corner that turns the geometry of the Drive into architecture. Converted to a cooperative in 1985, the building has spent four decades as a shareholder-owned co-op, and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission documented it in a 1989 designation report.
For buyers, the proposition is a quiet, architecturally distinctive pre-war co-op directly on Riverside Drive, with park and river outlooks from the better lines. This is a smaller building with a measured amenity set — a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, a roof deck, and a laundry room — and the appeal is the architecture, the Riverside Drive address, and the layouts rather than a deep service program. The location places residents at the edge of Riverside Park, with the 1/2/3 at 96th Street a short walk east.
The Chatillion reads as a character co-op: the curved Beaux-Arts corner, the carved name, the multi-sided rooms that the building's angled geometry produces, and a literary footnote in John Dos Passos. Buyers come for the building, not for amenities, and price accordingly.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's curved corner and angled plan are its architectural signature and the source of its most distinctive interiors — several apartments carry six- and seven-sided rooms and long entry galleries, a quirk of fitting rooms into the bend of the Drive. The roughly 103 apartments run from studios and one-bedrooms through larger layouts, with the Riverside-facing lines carrying park and river outlooks and the better units pairing pre-war proportions with renovated kitchens and baths. Co-op apartments here are best understood by room count and configuration; exposure toward the park and condition drive the premium structure.
Building operations
Pre-war cooperative: part-time doorman, live-in superintendent, roof deck, and a laundry room — a measured program appropriate to a small Riverside Drive co-op, with the building's character rather than its services as the draw. As a cooperative, the building is shareholder-controlled, and purchases are subject to board approval. The building's documentation is held in The Roebling Research Library and available to clients during diligence.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Recent sales
The Chatillion trades as a character pre-war co-op on Riverside Drive; compare total prices, room counts, actual plans and reliably measured interior area where available, adjusting for park and river outlook, condition and carrying costs rather than assuming a fixed premium. The angled-room layouts and the small building size make every apartment somewhat individual, so test the similarity of actual transactions; no single room-count or area metric captures every difference. 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're buying the architecture. The curved Beaux-Arts corner, the angled rooms, the Riverside Drive address — these are the reasons to buy here, not the amenity program, which is intentionally measured. Make sure the trade-off fits your priorities.
Underwrite the pre-war systems. A 1901 building requires diligence on the capital plan, recent assessments, and the financials. Have your attorney review the co-op's financial statements and reserve position.
Understand co-op mechanics. Purchases require board approval, financing is capped by the board, and sublet and pied-à-terre use are subject to board policy. Confirm the maximum financing, sublet terms, flip tax, and any pied-à-terre policy at offer stage.
Price the angled layouts honestly. The multi-sided rooms are charming but irregular; evaluate each apartment on how its specific configuration works for you.
Run the carry. Co-op maintenance bundles differently than condo charges plus taxes. Use the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator and the Co-op Affordability Calculator on the specific unit.
What to know if you’re selling
Market the building's character. The carved name, the curved corner, the Beaux-Arts detail, the Dos Passos footnote — this is a building with a story, and the Riverside Drive buyer pool responds to it. Use it with precision.
Use comparable plans and consistent measurements. Select dated sales by layout, exposure, condition and costs, considering room counts and verified interior area where available. Cooperative ownership does not make a per-room measure exclusive.
Prepare the buyer for the board. A well-prepared board package and a realistic read on the building's financing and sublet policy keep deals on track. We coach sellers and their buyers through it.
Mind the mansion-tax threshold. Larger apartments here can approach the $1 million cliff. Run the Mansion Tax Calculator at the intended ask.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
