A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Five West 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.
Five West is a thirteen-residence condominium designed by Alexander Compagno on a midblock site just west of Fifth Avenue. The six-story building combines a small apartment inventory with an elevator, fitness room and outdoor space at several levels. Balconies face the street or the block's interior, while selected lower and upper homes have gardens or roof terraces.
The new-building application dates to 2010. The Attorney General accepted the condominium offering in January 2012 under 5 West 127th Street LLC, and apartment transfers began in 2013. The building retains an active 421-a benefit on the 2027 tax roll.
Architecture and unit composition
Large windows, open living areas and ceilings around nine feet define the main apartment types. The inventory includes one-bedroom duplex layouts and two-bedroom homes, with typical larger apartments measuring approximately 970 to 1,030 square feet. Two-bedroom plans commonly include a second bathroom adjoining the primary bedroom.
Balconies are integrated with the living areas. Rear-facing outdoor spaces overlook the gardens between West 127th and West 128th streets. At the top, private rooftop space adds another outdoor level to selected homes; lower-level residences can have direct garden access.
In-home washer/dryers and open kitchens are part of the residential program. Duplex plans divide their living accommodation between levels, so the allocation of bedrooms, bathrooms and ancillary rooms deserves attention independently of total square footage.
Building operations
The building uses a virtual doorman and a separate package room. Fitness facilities and bicycle storage are shared by thirteen residences, and the common roof deck provides outdoor access beyond the private balconies and terraces.
The tax benefit is the capped fifteen-year 421-a program beginning in 2014. Its continued appearance on the 2027 roll is the operative tax fact; the benefit is finite, and the full Class 2 assessment remains relevant to the later carrying cost. It should not be treated as a permanent reduction.

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.
