300 West 108th Street — The Charlton — carries a name that should get any Manhattan buyer's attention: Rosario Candela, the architect whose pre-war apartment houses on Park and Fifth define the upper end of New York cooperative living. Candela's work is synonymous with intelligent layouts, gracious proportion, and a craftsman's command of the apartment plan, and the building at the southwest corner of Broadway and 108th Street brings that pedigree to the upper Upper West Side at a fraction of the avenue prices his East Side towers command.
Built in 1924 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1982, the fifteen-story house anchors a lively, transit-rich corner where the Upper West Side meets Morningside Heights. For buyers, the appeal is the combination of a marquee pre-war architect, genuine pre-war space, full-time staff, and pricing that remains among the more accessible ways to own a Candela-designed cooperative in Manhattan.
The location is a daily convenience. The Charlton sits directly on Broadway — the neighborhood's commercial artery, with restaurants, markets, and the 1 train at 110th Street all within a block or two — and Riverside Park is a short walk west.
Architecture and unit composition
The hallmark of a Candela building is the plan, and The Charlton reflects it: the building is composed largely of well-laid-out one- and two-bedroom homes with the sensible room flow and proportion that distinguish the architect's work. Across 15 stories and 75 residences, the layouts hold up well against newer construction, with good ceiling heights, generous closets, and the windowed kitchens and baths buyers consistently prize.
The stone-trimmed brick façade and corniced crown are restrained and dignified — the architecture of a serious pre-war house rather than a flashy one. Renovated apartments typically restore the pre-war detail while updating kitchens and baths, and upper-floor and Broadway-facing homes capture better light and open city outlooks.
Building operations
The Charlton runs as a full-service cooperative. A full-time doorman attends the lobby and manages packages and visitors, and a live-in superintendent keeps the building maintained. Practical amenities — a central laundry, a bike room, and private storage — round out the package. With 75 units supporting the staffing and services, the building delivers genuine full-service living while keeping maintenance reasonable for the corridor.

Facade safety — Local Law 11

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01892-0049) 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; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a livable, owner-friendly cooperative. A flip tax of 1% applies, paid by the seller — modest by Manhattan standards. The building is pet-friendly, permitting both dogs and cats, with no more than two pets per apartment. Purchases clear through a standard cooperative board package and interview, so buyers should prepare a complete financial picture.
For buyers, the value proposition is unusually clean: a Candela-designed pre-war cooperative, full-service and pet-friendly, with a low 1% flip tax, on a transit-rich Broadway corner near Riverside Park — at pricing well below what the architect's name commands on the East Side avenues.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architect and the layout. The Candela name is a genuine differentiator on the Upper West Side, and a well-presented apartment that showcases the building's pre-war proportions and intelligent plan will stand apart from the surrounding stock.
Renovation and light sell here. Updated kitchens and baths, restored pre-war detail, and higher-floor or open-outlook exposures materially lift value; stage to the apartment's proportions and natural light.
Benchmark to the upper Upper West Side pre-war set. Price against renovated comparable layouts in the neighborhood's pre-war cooperatives while leaning into the Candela pedigree and the building's owner-friendly economics — a low 1% flip tax and a pet-friendly policy are both selling points. We help frame those facts to reach the broadest qualified buyer pool.
