The Westmore is a 1940 Art Deco building by Boak & Paris that trades today as a condop — a cooperative operated under condominium-style rules — one block from Columbus Circle on West 57th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. Its structure is the point: condop ownership combines the lower purchase-price entry of a cooperative with condominium-grade flexibility. There is no traditional co-op board approval to buy, subletting is liberal (marketed as unlimited from day one), and pied-à-terre, LLC, gifting, and guarantor purchases are permitted. That combination is unusual and valuable, and it defines the building's buyer pool: investors, pied-à-terre buyers, and owner-occupants who want flexibility a conventional co-op would not offer.
Note on naming and geography: this building — The Westmore, at 333 West 57th Street — is a distinct and separate property from the much larger Sheffield tower at 322 West 57th Street. The two should not be confused; The Westmore is the mid-rise pre-war Art Deco building on the north side of the street, through-block to West 58th.
Architecture and unit composition
The Westmore is a roughly 7–8-story Art Deco building — the top-floor oculi level accounts for the varying story counts in public records. The Boak & Paris design features a gray-brick façade with large bay windows, distinctive circular oculi near the roofline, and a carved stone entrance surround beneath an entrance marquee. The lobby has been restored to its Art Deco character, and the building runs through the block from 333 West 57th Street to West 58th Street, wrapping a large landscaped garden courtyard.
The unit mix is predominantly studios and one-bedrooms, with some two- and three-bedroom combination apartments. Typical studios run roughly 500–600 square feet; one-bedrooms roughly 750–1,000 square feet; combined two-bedrooms reach roughly 1,450–1,570 square feet. Because the building trades as a cooperative structure, apartments are most naturally valued on a per-room basis, with floor, exposure, and renovation condition driving pricing within each line.
Building operations
The Westmore operates with a full-time doorman, a restored Art Deco lobby, a roof deck, the landscaped garden courtyard, central laundry, private storage, and a bike room. It is a mid-rise pre-war building with a modest, well-kept amenity set rather than a resort-style program.
The condop structure is the operational headline. Purchases proceed through a condo-style application rather than a co-op board interview; subletting is liberal from day one; and pied-à-terre, LLC, gifting, and guarantor purchases are permitted. Financing of up to roughly 80% is permitted. Buyers should confirm the current house rules, any flip tax or transfer fee, and the sublet terms in writing during due diligence, and review the offering plan and recent financial statements.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
Safe to live in today — but the last inspection flagged repairs that are due on a deadline, so facade work and its cost are coming. Whether that’s a real concern depends on the scope, the timing, and how the building plans to pay for it — reserves or an assessment — which is exactly what we’d dig into for you.

Recent sales
Recent trading at The Westmore has centered on studios and one-bedrooms, with larger combination units at the top of the range. On a per-room basis, pricing sits in the accessible tier for a full-service pre-war building near Columbus Circle — supported by the Art Deco character, the courtyard, and, critically, the condop flexibility that widens the buyer pool to include investors and pied-à-terre purchasers who would be screened out of a conventional co-op.
A small rental market runs alongside the resales, reflecting owners exercising the building's liberal subletting rules — a feature of the condop structure, not evidence of a rental building. Comparables should be matched for room count, floor, exposure, and renovation condition.

What to know if you’re buying
The condop structure is the value. Cooperative-level entry pricing with condominium-level flexibility — no board interview to buy, liberal subletting, pied-à-terre and LLC purchases permitted. Confirm each of these terms in writing before you commit.
Confirm the flip tax and transfer fees. Many condops carry a flip tax; obtain the current schedule from the offering plan and house rules during due diligence.
Investor and pied-à-terre use is genuinely permitted. If flexibility is your priority, this building is built for it — a rarity in the pre-war stock.

What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the condop flexibility. The absence of a board interview, the unlimited subletting, and the pied-à-terre and LLC allowances are the building's strongest selling points — market them explicitly.
Position against the right structure. The Westmore should be sold as a flexible condop, not benchmarked against conventional co-ops that would restrict the same buyer pool.
Renovation condition drives price. In a pre-war building, a current, turn-key renovation commands the top of the per-room comparable band.
Emphasize the Art Deco character and the courtyard. The Boak & Paris façade, oculi, restored lobby, and landscaped garden are differentiators.
