A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Allegro 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 Allegro is a full-service condominium at the single most connected corner of the southern Upper West Side. Standing at the southwest corner of West 62nd Street and Broadway, the building is half a block from Central Park, half a block from Lincoln Center, two blocks from Columbus Circle and the Shops at Columbus Circle, and directly across the street from 15 Central Park West — Robert A.M. Stern's landmark condominium and the benchmark of the modern park-facing market. Few Upper West Side addresses sit so precisely at the intersection of culture, transit, and park access.
Completed in 1987, the Allegro is a post-war condominium rather than a pre-war cooperative — and that distinction is the building's core value. Where the Upper West Side's pre-war housing stock is overwhelmingly cooperative, with board approvals and use restrictions, the Allegro offers condominium flexibility: no board approval to purchase, subletting permitted, pieds-à-terre allowed, foreign and investor buyers welcome, and financing available with all major lenders. For a buyer who wants Lincoln Square location with condominium mechanics, the building fills a specific niche.
The Allegro's positioning also reflects its neighborhood. Lincoln Square is the Upper West Side's cultural anchor — the world of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, with a year-round calendar of opera, ballet, symphony, and theater a short walk from the door, plus the retail and dining density of Columbus Circle two blocks south. The building's residents live at the seam where the Upper West Side meets Midtown, with immediate access to both.
At 27 stories and roughly 120 residences, the Allegro offers efficient floor plates and a comprehensive full-service program — 24-hour doorman, concierge, on-site parking garage, resident manager, and a landscaped courtyard. The unit mix skews toward studios and one- to two-bedrooms, making the building a natural fit for pied-à-terre buyers, professionals, and investors who value the condominium latitude.
For buyers, 62 West 62nd Street represents a clear position in the market: a full-service Lincoln Square condominium with maximum flexibility, at a price point below the trophy tower directly across the street, in one of the best-connected locations on the Upper West Side.
Architecture and unit composition
The Allegro is a 27-story, roughly 120-unit condominium built in 1987 to modern floor plates. The residence mix runs from studios (approximately 524–783 sf) through one- and two-bedroom layouts, with larger combined and penthouse units at the top of the building. As a true condominium, pricing is best read on a price-per-square-foot basis, consistent with the post-war and new-construction condominium market rather than the price-per-room convention of the surrounding pre-war cooperatives.
The building's height delivers open city and partial park sightlines from the upper floors; the corner position at Broadway and 62nd Street produces light and exposure on multiple sides. Interiors reflect the late-1980s construction standard, with many units updated by owners over the building's life.
Building operations
The Allegro operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager and superintendent, a full-service parking garage, bicycle storage, laundry on every residential floor, and a landscaped front garden. The amenity program is scaled to a well-run post-war condominium — comprehensive service without the resort-style amenity load (and associated common charges) of the newest luxury towers.
The building is pet-friendly, permits subletting, and welcomes pieds-à-terre, foreign buyers, and investor purchasers. It qualifies for financing with all major lenders. Buyers should review the condominium's financial statements, reserve study, and any assessment history during due diligence, as with any building of this vintage.

How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2025–30. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,574/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Condo flexibility is the headline. No board approval to purchase; subletting permitted; pieds-à-terre, foreign buyers, and investors welcome; financing available with all major lenders. 30–45 day closings.
Location is the other headline. Half a block from Central Park and Lincoln Center, two blocks from Columbus Circle, across from 15 Central Park West. Confirm the walk to the specific amenities that matter to you.
Model the full carry. Common charges plus property taxes plus utilities — run the complete monthly number, and review the building's reserve position and any assessment history.
It's a value alternative to the trophy tier. The Allegro captures Lincoln Square location at a price point below the new-construction and trophy inventory nearby. Evaluate the trade-off in finishes and amenity load.
Diligence a 1987 building. Review financial statements, reserve study, and capital-project history; confirm the condition of building systems.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with flexibility and location. The pitch is condominium latitude plus a Lincoln Square corner across from 15 Central Park West — a combination that reaches investor, pied-à-terre, and end-user buyers alike.
Target the investor and pied-à-terre pool. The building's permissive subletting and financing policies make it attractive to buyers excluded from the surrounding cooperatives.
Price per square foot, with apartment-level comparables. Floor, exposure, and layout drive variation; apartment-level analysis is essential.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.

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.
