A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Cathedral Tower 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.
Cathedral Tower is a twelve-story Arts and Crafts apartment house designed by Schwartz & Gross in 1911. Its three-story limestone base, patterned brickwork and broad Cathedral Parkway frontage give it a substantial presence at the southern edge of Morningside Heights. The building's original name was the Marc Anthony.
Condominium ownership arrived in 2004. The residential inventory includes smaller one- and two-bedroom homes as well as larger prewar apartments, with full-time entrance staffing in a building of 49 residences. High ceilings and bay-windowed rooms survive among the current layouts.
The site lies between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, within the Morningside Heights Historic District. LPC still regulates exterior changes here: a 2026 application sought a master plan for future window installations. The distinction matters for owners planning work to the building's prominent street-facing windows.
Architecture and unit composition
The lower façade is faced in limestone, with beige brick above. Vertical brick piers include diamond-pattern decoration. A canopy marks the entrance, and steps rise to the vestibule. Portions of the original decorative upper masonry have been removed, while the contrasting base and upper walls remain legible from the street.
Apartment sizes span several categories. Smaller residences include compact two-bedroom arrangements in roughly the 850- to 900-square-foot range. Larger homes have traded with approximately 1,200 to 1,400 square feet. Bedroom count alone therefore covers materially different amounts of interior space.
Corner layouts can have bay-windowed living rooms and bedrooms separated across the plan. Windowed kitchens appear in the inventory. Renovation has changed kitchens and room divisions in some apartments, so the surviving prewar features include both original architectural elements and later interior work.
The condominium declaration created 49 residential units alongside 48 locker units, a storage unit and a laundry unit. Those separately defined spaces explain why the legal lot inventory is considerably larger than the number of homes. A locker is a separate interest, and its inclusion with an apartment belongs in the purchase contract.
Building operations
A full-time doorman, elevator and common laundry support the residential floors. Storage is part of the building's physical and legal organization, with individual locker units established at conversion.
Ownership remains partly concentrated: the largest owner holds 15 of the 49 residences, or 31 percent of the units. Its voting weight follows the common-interest percentages in the declaration, not the unit count, but it is a meaningful presence within a building whose remaining apartments are held separately.
Historic-district designation covers the building's exterior. The 2026 window-master-plan application is an application, not evidence that every proposed replacement has been approved or installed. Interior renovations and façade-facing window work therefore have different approval paths.

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.
