214 West 72nd Street — named Parker West — is a new-construction condominium completed in 2021, mid-block between Broadway and West End Avenue. Designed by GRADE New York with GreenbergFarrow as architect of record and developed by SK Development, CB Developers, and Brooklyn Standard, it rises approximately 21 stories with just 18 full-floor and duplex residences, most reached by private-elevator landings.
The proposition here is new construction with full-floor living at boutique scale in a prime Upper West Side location. The building sits next to Trader Joe's and steps from the 1/2/3 at 72nd Street, one of the neighborhood's busiest transit and shopping hubs. It carries a literary note as well: it was built on the site associated with Dorothy Parker's childhood home, which lends the building its Parker West name. For the buyer who wants contemporary full-floor construction on a small ownership base in a central location, the building is a well-positioned choice.
Building operations
The condominium runs as a full-service building: a part-time doorman, private-elevator landings, a fitness center, a landscaped roof terrace with Hudson views, a children's playroom, a bike room, and a laundry room in addition to in-unit washer/dryer — a full amenity set for a boutique 18-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. 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 Parker West trades as a new-development Upper West Side condominium — launch pricing ran around $2,015 per square foot, appropriate to recent full-floor construction with private-elevator landings and full amenities. Launch pricing ranged from roughly $1.325M for one-bedrooms and approximately $2.95M for two-bedrooms up to about $5.19M for the penthouse. With only 18 residences, resale volume is thin. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the square footage, the floor, the exposure, the Hudson or open views, 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 1-01163-7504) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

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. The reasons to buy are the new construction, the full-floor living with private-elevator landings, the amenity set, and the central location next to Trader Joe's and the 72nd Street trains.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is the new construction, the full-floor and duplex layouts with private-elevator landings, the Hudson-view roof terrace, and the Parker West identity built on Dorothy Parker's childhood site. The 2021 vintage and boutique 18-residence scale sell to a buyer who wants contemporary full-floor living in a prime, transit-rich location. Pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: square footage, floor, light, views, and finish level drive the number more than any block average. We position the building's full-floor format, amenities, and location, and benchmark against the right comparable tier of new-development Upper West Side condominiums.
