A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Broadway 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 Broadway is one of the Upper West Side's more architecturally interesting condominiums — a 21-story, roughly 123-unit tower completed in 1992 that rises behind the preserved façade of Thomas W. Lamb's 1914 RKO 81st Street Theater. That three-story terra-cotta frontage, with its handsome arched windows, was kept and integrated when the tower was built, giving the building a street presence no new-construction condominium can manufacture: a genuine piece of Broadway theater history at its base and a full-service residential tower above.
The value proposition is straightforward. Buyers get an early-1990s condominium — meaning modern layouts, full-building amenities, and condominium mechanics — married to a landmark-quality historic façade in the middle of the Upper West Side's most convenient shopping and transit stretch. It is a building that reads as prewar from the street and lives as a modern condominium inside, a combination that has kept it a durable presence on the corridor.
Architecture and unit composition
William A. Hall and Charles B. Ferris Associates designed the 1992 tower; Beyer Blinder Belle handled the preservation of the 1914 theater façade. Lamb — among the most celebrated theater architects of his era — designed the original RKO 81st Street Theater, and its terra-cotta frontage remains the building's defining street-level feature.
The roughly 123 residences reflect early-1990s planning: efficient layouts, good light on the upper floors, and the practical room configurations of the period. A garden courtyard pulls light and quiet into the block interior. The building offers a mix from one-bedroom layouts to larger family apartments; condition varies with each apartment's renovation history.
Building operations
The Broadway operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman. Amenities include a fitness center, a garden courtyard, a children's playroom, and a central laundry room. The building is pet-friendly.
Common charges and property taxes are consistent with a full-service Upper West Side condominium of this size and vintage. Buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level and review current financial statements, board minutes, and any reserve study during due diligence — with attention to the maintenance obligations associated with the preserved historic façade.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Management & transfer contacts
Recent sales
The Broadway trades as a full-service Upper West Side condominium with a distinctive architectural identity, and pricing is best read on a price-per-square-foot basis against the corridor's other doorman condominiums. Value is driven by floor height, exposure (courtyard versus Broadway versus side street), and renovation condition. The condominium structure and the building's prime Broadway location between 80th and 81st Streets are pricing supports. Apartment-level closing detail should be sourced from public records for full transactional context, and pricing should be validated against the most recent comparable sales at the time of offer.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,492/sf (floor-adjusted) across 6 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
The historic façade is a genuine asset — and a maintenance consideration. The preserved 1914 theater frontage gives the building rare character; confirm during diligence how façade upkeep is handled in the building's finances.
Condominium flexibility applies. Financing, pied-à-terre use, and subletting are governed by the condominium rather than a cooperative board; closings run on condominium timelines.
Exposure and floor drive price. Broadway-facing, side-street, and courtyard-facing lines present differently in light and sound. Walk the specific apartment.
Model the full carry — common charges plus property taxes plus utilities — at the apartment level.
Verify board policy at offer stage against the current house rules.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architecture. The preserved Lamb theater façade is a marketing distinction few Upper West Side condominiums can claim.
Position location and flexibility. The 80th–81st Street Broadway address and condominium structure widen the buyer pool relative to nearby cooperatives.
Pricing requires apartment-level context. Comparable sales vary by line, floor, and exposure.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30 to 60 days from contract to closing.

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.
