2380 Broadway — The Montana — is a 1984 full-service rental tower occupying the entire Broadway blockfront between West 87th and West 88th Streets. The site has a colorful history: at the turn of the last century this stretch of Broadway was part of "Automobile Row," lined with motorcycle dealers, garages, and repair shops, and the low commercial buildings that stood here were demolished in 1984 to make way for the 26-story tower that stands today. The Montana belongs to the wave of 1980s full-service high-rises that brought modern construction, larger windows, and contemporary systems to a Broadway corridor otherwise dominated by pre-war stock.
The location is the building's defining strength. This is the everyday spine of the West Side: the 86th Street station — served by the 1 local one block south and the B and C trains a short walk east — is within a block, and the avenue around the building is dense with grocers, restaurants, cafés, banks, and services. Central Park lies a few blocks east and Riverside Park a few blocks west, putting two of Manhattan's great green spaces within an easy walk in either direction. For renters who prize convenience, transit, and the energy of a working main street over the quiet of a pre-war side block, 2380 Broadway sits at the center of it all.
As a full-service rental rather than a co-op, the building offers something increasingly scarce on the Upper West Side: a doorman tower with an on-site garage available by lease, with no shares to buy and no board package to assemble. For tenants who want modern infrastructure, full-service staffing, and a prime transit address without the commitment of ownership, The Montana fills a specific and useful niche.
Architecture and unit composition
The 156 apartments are organized in the efficient manner of 1980s high-rise design — a mix running across one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, with the building's roughly 1,440 gross square feet per unit indicating a practical, family-capable distribution rather than a studio-heavy profile. The full blockfront siting and the tower's 26-story height combine to give many lines good light and, on the upper floors, open exposures over the surrounding lower-rise blocks toward both rivers.
The construction carries 1980s signatures throughout: standard-height ceilings, generous window walls, modern mechanical systems, and livable, well-proportioned plans. The masonry façade and contemporary fenestration place the building firmly in its era — clean and functional rather than ornamented — set above a Broadway retail base.
Upper-floor apartments enjoy the long Broadway-corridor sightlines and open sky that distinguish a tall 1980s tower from the pre-war buildings around it.
Building operations
2380 Broadway operates as a full-service rental building with full-time doorman coverage, an attended lobby, elevator service, on-site laundry, and an on-site parking garage occupying part of the lower levels — a genuine convenience on a corridor where parking is scarce. Ground-floor retail lines the Broadway frontage, adding to the building's at-the-door amenity.
Because the building is a rental, day-to-day operation and leasing run through ownership and the managing agent rather than a cooperative board; there is no purchase application or board approval. Leasing terms, rent, lease length, and pet policy run through management.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The facade passed its last inspection with no required repairs — nothing to budget for here, and no facade assessment on the horizon for roughly five years.
