About the building
Charlotte of the Upper West Side was designed by BKSK Architects for The Roe Corporation around a tightly insulated, low-energy building envelope. Brick piers and a terra-cotta sunshade screen fit the historic district's masonry palette while reducing solar heat gain. The architect identifies certification by the Passive House Institute as a Low Energy Building. Filtered outdoor air is delivered through ventilation separate from the heating and cooling system.
The seven residences include full-floor four-bedroom homes, a garden residence and duplex penthouses with substantial terraces. Standard full-floor layouts approach 3,570 square feet, while the upper homes introduce additional levels and outdoor configurations. Large windows sit behind the exterior screen. Private storage and shared recreation facilities supplement the interiors, including a fitness center and golf simulator.

What to know if you’re buying
The ventilation system is central to the building's design. Its filtered fresh-air supply operates separately from room heating and cooling, so servicing and filter replacement are ongoing operating responsibilities. Alterations to windows, exterior penetrations or ventilation equipment also need to preserve the performance of the insulated envelope supporting this seven-residence building.

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.
