250 West 94th Street (The Stanton)

The building rises 15 floors per city records on a 100-foot Broadway blockfront, with roughly 277,000 square feet of residential area across 147 units — large floor plates by pre-war co-op standards. The original three-to-seven-room layouts survive in recognizable form: defined foyers, serving pantries in larger lines, and the courtyard-lit interior rooms produced by the E-plan. Upper floors carry open Broadway and side-street light, and the roof deck adds Hudson River outlooks. Select units retain decorative fireplaces per listing records. As in most early conversions, decades of owner renovations have produced a wide condition spread, from preserved pre-war detail to fully contemporary renovations — pricing tracks that spread closely.

Full-service and amenity-rich for its vintage: 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, a fitness room with sauna and yoga space, a landscaped roof deck with river views and a residents' herb garden, children's playroom, library/meeting room, bike room, central laundry, and private storage (waitlisted per listing records). Passenger and freight elevators run separately. Listing records note periodic assessments — standard for a centenarian co-op funding capital work — and recent cycles have funded the sustainability program (solar, composting, the "A" energy grade). The offering plan, proprietary lease, house rules, and corporate documents are on file in The Roebling Research Library.

Recent sales

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01241-0052) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price.

The block is a transit-and-quiet anomaly. The 1/2/3 express at 96th Street is one short block north — among the best subway access on the Upper West Side — yet the residential entrance sits off Broadway on a side street facing the landmarked, garden-lined Pomander Walk. Riverside Park is two blocks west, Central Park a half-mile east, Symphony Space at 95th.

The policy framework is moderate by pre-war standards. 25 percent minimum down, pets and pied-à-terre permitted, and washer/dryers allowed with board approval per listing records — a more flexible posture than the West End Avenue co-ops two blocks west. Sublet terms and any transfer fee are thinly documented publicly; we verify against the house rules and by-laws on file during diligence. Run the Co-op Board Qualification Calculator before offering.

Underwrite the capital cycle, not just the maintenance. Listing records note assessments, and a 1925 building funds facade, elevator, and systems work in perpetuity. The offset: documented sustainability investment and an "A" energy grade, which positions the building well against carbon-era operating costs. Your attorney should review the financials; we provide the corporate documents on file.

The E-plan matters when choosing a line. Courtyard exposures here are genuinely bright by interior-line standards — but they are not equivalent to the corner Broadway lines. Walk the specific unit at different hours; the spread between lines is the building's pricing structure.

Buy the provenance knowingly. The Stanton name, the suffrage-site history, and the preserved 1925 storefronts are not just charm — they are the kind of specific identity that supports resale in a corridor full of anonymous pre-war stock.

Market the name and the history with precision. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sugarman & Berger, the 1970 tenant-led conversion, the Mailer chapter — this building has a documented narrative most Broadway co-ops lack. Use the facts, not adjectives; the buyer pool for this corridor responds to specificity.

Lead with the express station and the amenity stack. One block to the 96th Street express plus a gym, roof deck, playroom, and library is a combination that newer buyers weigh heavily against West End Avenue's quieter but less-served blocks. State the "A" energy grade — it survives diligence.

Price to condition and line, not building averages. The spread between renovated corner lines and estate-condition interior lines is wide. Same-line history is the anchor; run the Renovation Cost Calculator against your asking strategy for unrenovated units.

The Roebling Team at Compass works the Upper West Side — Broadway, West End Avenue, and Riverside Drive — as a core practice area. We publish this building profile because Stanton buyers and sellers deserve building-specific intelligence — conversion documentation, policy framework, and corridor-level comparables — not generic neighborhood commentary.
