A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Ammann would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Ammann is an eight-story condominium at Pinehurst Avenue and West 179th Street, designed by Nickolas Kazalas for Orient Development. Its large windows, private outdoor spaces and contemporary apartment systems distinguish it within Hudson Heights' predominantly older apartment-house setting. The building takes its name from Othmar Ammann, the engineer associated with the George Washington Bridge.
The project was filed in 2014 as a new mixed-use building with residential and community space. Published construction reporting described a proposed 24-apartment development on the combined 40–42 Pinehurst Avenue site. The existing two-story structure was to be demolished for the new building.
The residential mix includes one-bedroom homes, two-bedroom apartments and penthouses. Some upper-floor homes look toward the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge. The shared amenities include both an outdoor garden at lobby level and a landscaped roof deck.
Architecture and unit composition
Floor-to-ceiling, triple-paned windows are a principal feature of the design. South-facing layouts form part of the original offering, and private balconies or terraces occur among the apartments. The corner location gives the building more than one street frontage.
Open kitchens connect cooking and living space. The original finish package includes stone counters, tile backsplashes and integrated appliance arrangements. Bedrooms have built-in closet storage, and bathrooms include deep soaking tubs. Each home was equipped with a washer/dryer and individual temperature controls.
Recorded apartment areas include one-bedroom homes around 650 square feet and two-bedroom homes around 860 square feet. Penthouse layouts can be larger, with a documented two-bedroom, two-bath arrangement exceeding 1,000 square feet. Views and private outdoor space depend on the apartment's position within the building.
Building operations
Entry uses a virtual intercom system that can connect to a smartphone. A package room supports deliveries, while the fitness room, roof deck and garden are shared facilities. Bicycle storage and private storage are separate from the apartment interiors.
The condominium includes two nonresidential lots in addition to its residential inventory. No building-wide tax abatement is active. The largest residential owner holds two homes, approximately eight percent of the DOF residential lot count.
The triple-paned window system is particularly relevant at the West 179th Street location near the George Washington Bridge approaches. Its acoustic performance is a feature to assess in the actual apartment, where orientation and height vary.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
