A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at One West End (1 West End Avenue) 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.
One West End is a structurally distinctive Pelli Clarke Pelli mixed-use complex with one of the most iconic architectural gestures in 2010s NYC residential development. The building carries the Pelli Clarke Pelli architectural pedigree, which places One West End within a substantial international tradition of the firm's work. That pedigree resolves into a single unmistakable move — the diagonal-cantilever architectural gesture, where exposed diagonal bracing carries the 26-story north component 50 feet beyond the low-rise base and 70 feet above West End Avenue. The same geometry shapes the amenity program below grade, anchored by a 75-foot lap pool with dramatic diagonal columns on the lowest level, where the lower component's glass facade "cuts" into the top floor of the limestone base.
Architecture and building operations
The glass tower divides into two parts: a 41-story south component with a slanted top, and a 26-story north component angled slightly away from the south tower, cantilevering 50 feet beyond the low-rise base and 70 feet above West End Avenue.
The diagonal bracing supporting the cantilever has become the building's most iconic visual gesture. The lower component's glass facade "cuts" into the top floor of the limestone base, and its lowest level contains the major amenity floor with the 75-foot lap pool behind dramatic diagonal bracing.
Operations: two doormen; concierge; lobby overlooking a garden with reflective pool; children's playroom (with bins that open diagonally and a large communal table); media room with two large televisions; 75-foot swimming pool with large diagonal columns; cold storage; roof garden terrace with trellis-sided cabanas and BBQ grills; fitness center with yoga studio; residents' living room with fireplace and large terrace; billiards room; chef's kitchen; game room.
Apartments feature walnut entrance doors with mounted bronze newspaper boxes; 7.5-inch white oak or walnut flooring; marble kitchens with Sub-Zero/Wolf/Miele; master baths by Scavolini with brushed limestone walls, free-standing tubs, Toto toilets, and heated floors. Some units have electronically controlled solar shades.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $2,097/sf (floor-adjusted) across 7 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 1.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
