The Beaumont is a full-service Lincoln Square condominium, built in 1982 on West 61st Street between Broadway and Columbus — a location that sits almost exactly midway between Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center, one block from Central Park and steps from the 59th Street–Columbus Circle subway complex. It is a sheer, well-proportioned brick tower whose plan is prized for its many corner-window apartments, and it delivers a genuine full-service package in one of the most connected pockets of the Upper West Side.
The building has two distinguishing structural features. Its lower floors are professional and office space with a separate West 61st Street entrance, giving the residential tower a mixed-use base and its own dedicated residential lobby above. And at the top, five duplex penthouses each carry a private roof deck and a wood-burning fireplace — a rare amenity combination that anchors the building's premium inventory. In between, the corner-window layouts and open exposures make the standard apartments unusually light for a mid-block tower.
For buyers, The Beaumont pairs a central Lincoln Square address, a full-service staff, and a landscaped residents' courtyard and roof deck with condominium flexibility — pied-à-terre and subletting permitted, no board interview. Prospective buyers should note the building's no-pets and smoke-free policies, which are firmer than at many peer condominiums and matter to the right buyer.
Architecture and unit composition
The residences run from alcove studios through three-bedrooms across the tower's floors, with eight apartments per floor on the lower residential levels and six per floor higher up. Corner-window units are a defining feature and are prized for their light and cross-exposures. Central air runs throughout, and the five duplex penthouses at the top of the building carry private roof decks and wood-burning fireplaces.
The tower's sheer brick massing and its height above the surrounding Lincoln Square rooflines produce open city light on the upper floors, with skyline and partial park and river exposures depending on orientation.
Building operations
The Beaumont operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge and a live-in resident manager. Amenities include per-floor laundry, a landscaped private residents' courtyard with grills, a roof deck, and bicycle and luggage storage. The lower floors house professional/office space with a separate street entrance, so the residential portion operates with its own lobby and staff above the commercial base. Buyer transactions run on condominium mechanics — waiver of the right of first refusal rather than board approval.
Common charges and property taxes are typical for a full-service Lincoln Square condominium; buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level.

Facade safety — Local Law 11

As a condominium, The Beaumont is priced per square foot. Recent activity has generally cleared in the range typical for a full-service early-1980s Lincoln Square condominium — with one-bedrooms in the high-six-figure to low-seven-figure range, two-bedrooms in the low-single-digit millions, and the duplex penthouses commanding a substantial premium for their private roof decks and fireplaces. The building's central location and corner-window layouts support pricing, while its 1982 vintage keeps it below the newest inventory on a per-square-foot basis. Pricing varies with floor, exposure, and layout; apartment-level comparable analysis is the correct basis for pricing any specific unit.

What to know if you’re buying
The location is central. Midway between Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center, a block from Central Park, and on top of the subway complex.
Corner-window units and penthouses are the signature. The corner layouts are the building's most sought-after standard inventory; the five duplex penthouses with private roof decks and fireplaces are the premium tier.
Note the house rules. The Beaumont is a no-pets, smoke-free building — firmer than many peer condominiums; confirm the policies apply to your situation.
Condo flexibility otherwise applies. Pied-à-terre and subletting are permitted, and there is no board interview.
Run the cliff thresholds. Larger units and penthouses transact above the $2M and $3M mansion-tax cliffs — run any number through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and layout. The central Lincoln Square position, corner-window light, and — for the top-floor inventory — the private roof decks and fireplaces are the core story.
Set buyer expectations on house rules. The no-pets and smoke-free policies should be communicated up front to keep the buyer pool aligned.
Price at the apartment level. Building averages blend studios through penthouses; recent comparables on the specific line should anchor positioning.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
