310 West 72nd Street is a 1924 Italian Renaissance cooperative by Robert T. Lyons, the architect behind The St. Urban at 285 Central Park West and a body of distinguished pre-war Manhattan work. It sits between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive in the far-western Upper West Side, one short block from Riverside Park — a location that pairs serious pre-war architecture with the quiet of the avenue's western reaches.
The building reads as a Renaissance palazzo: a limestone base, a canopied entrance, and a broad 72nd Street frontage, with a restored lobby that signals the quality inside. The apartments carry the classic pre-war vocabulary — beamed ceilings, plaster moldings, gracious entry foyers, and dining alcoves. The Landmarks Preservation Commission includes the building as a contributing structure in the West End–Collegiate Historic District Extension, protecting the façade and confirming its standing.
Converted from a rental to a cooperative in 1989, 310 West 72nd Street is notably flexible by pre-war co-op standards — it permits pied-à-terre ownership, allows subletting, and is pet-friendly to both cats and dogs. Combined with a full-service staff, a children's playroom, and a deep stock of combinable lines, that flexibility makes it one of the more transactable full-service pre-war co-ops on the western Upper West Side.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's roughly 120 apartments span 16 stories, with a range that runs from studios through four-bedroom homes, including many combined lines that create large, gracious residences. The classic pre-war interiors — beamed ceilings, moldings, entry foyers, and dining alcoves — survive in varying degrees depending on each apartment's renovation history.
The combined three- and four-bedroom homes are the building's marquee inventory and anchor its top end. Across the building, exposure, floor, line, and condition drive value; buyers should evaluate each home individually.
Building operations
310 West 72nd Street operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, and full-service elevators. Shared amenities include a children's playroom, central laundry, a bike room, and private storage available for rent.
The building is welcoming on policy by Upper West Side co-op standards: it is pet-friendly to both cats and dogs, permits pied-à-terre ownership, allows subletting, and permits in-unit washer/dryer installation. Shareholders in primary residence benefit from the NYC co-op/condo property-tax abatement. Specific financial policy — financing percentage permitted, flip tax, and exact sublet term limits — should be confirmed at offer stage.

310 West 72nd Street prices at a premium per-room level for a full-service pre-war co-op near Riverside Park. The range is broad: studios in the high-$300,000s to $400,000s, junior and one-bedroom homes around the high-$800,000s, two-bedroom combinations broadly in the $1.3 million to $1.5 million range, and large combined three- and four-bedroom homes from the high-$2 millions to roughly $3 million. The Renaissance architecture, the full-service operation, the accommodating policies, and the Riverside Park proximity support pricing across that band.
Turnover is steady for a building of roughly 120 apartments. Because the building's value is driven by combined-line homes that behave very differently from the base stock, building-wide averages are of limited use; a current apartment-level comparable analysis is the right tool for pricing any individual home.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01183-0037) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

What to know if you’re buying
The architecture is the headline. Robert T. Lyons authorship and a genuine Renaissance palazzo — the limestone base, canopied entrance, restored lobby, and beamed-ceiling interiors — distinguish the building.
The policies are accommodating. Pied-à-terre, permitted subletting, pet-friendliness to cats and dogs, and allowed washer/dryer installation make this an easier pre-war co-op to transact in than much of the avenue.
Combined lines are the premium inventory. The large three- and four-bedroom combinations anchor the building's top end.
It's a Riverside Park location. One short block from the park, with the calm of the western Upper West Side.
Buy on line, exposure, and condition. Within a pre-war building of this scale, those factors drive value.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the Renaissance pedigree and the restored lobby. The Lyons authorship and the landmark-district façade are genuine differentiators.
Foreground the friendly policies. Pet-friendliness and permitted pied-à-terre and subletting meaningfully widen the buyer pool.
Differentiate combined homes. Large combined residences warrant bespoke positioning against the base stock.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Generally 4–8 weeks from contract to closing.
