The Upper West Side has long been one of New York City’s most in-demand neighborhoods. 200 Amsterdam, a new condominium ideally located near neighborhood staples like Lincoln Center and Central Park, has ushered in a new era of luxury living for those who love the neighborhood’s charm, but are looking for an elevated and amenitized lifestyle. We talked with Stephen Kliegerman, President, Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing, the exclusive sales and marketing agent for the property, about what makes 200 Amsterdam so attractive.

Tell us about the architecture of 200 Amsterdam.

Inspired by the grand landmark buildings lining Central Park West, 200 Amsterdam is a contemporary interpretation of New York's pre-war classic co-ops, merging elegant architecture by Elkus Manfredi with the refined luxury of interiors by CetraRuddy. These are grand residences that have been reimagined with timeless elements to cater to a modern lifestyle. Distinctive entryways, stately kitchens and marble-clad bathrooms combine with breathtaking city, river, and Central Park views. There’s really nothing else like it in the area. 

How would you describe the lifestyle available to residents? 

200 Amsterdam was developed with amenities envisioned for New Yorkers of every age. It offers three full floors of lifestyle and wellness elements that contribute to the ease of everyday life. Spanning over 20,000 square feet, these amenities include a dedicated spa, a 75-foot saltwater pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a golf simulator, the Little Composer's Room for children, and a private club. There’s even a sound-proof rehearsal room for professional and budding musicians. And to cater to those in the remote workforce, there are quiet conference rooms. Animal lovers will appreciate the pet spa, and all residents benefit from the live-in resident manager who can help with everything from securing dinner reservations to concert tickets. 

Tell us about the neighborhood.

The Upper West Side is home to some of the world's leading cultural institutions, including Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the American Museum of Natural History, Rose Planetarium, New York Historical Society, Bard Graduate Center and the Children's Museum of Manhattan, allowing for endless hours of inspiration for children and adults alike. The neighborhood has a true artistic and cultural pulse and it’s also very much a haven for families -- walking down the streets you’ll see many strollers and young children, not to mention some of the city’s most prestigious schools.

How do residents take advantage of being so close to Lincoln Center? 

200 Amsterdam is just steps away from Lincoln Center, one of the most important cultural institutions in the world. We knew that our buyers would be frequenting the Center and wanted to create a special program for them. With our VIP access, residents have a one-year membership that provides presale access, complimentary festival tickets, invitations and opportunities for backstage access and special events, which can be booked through 200 Amsterdam’s dedicated lifestyle concierge.

Can you tell us about the premier Penthouse Collection?

The Penthouse Collection at 200 Amsterdam features some of the most impressive homes in the City. The collection comprises 12 residences with 10 still available for purchase. These are truly extraordinary homes that embody the phrase “sky-high living”. Starting on the 41st floor, there are ten full-floor and two duplex penthouses that have been appointed with the finest details and materials -- no luxury or expense was spared. Two duplex penthouses crown the building, occupying the topmost floors. These multilevel residences are defined by 116-foot-long, 20-foot-tall, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer uninterrupted, cinematic views in every direction, as well as a dramatic, sculptural glass staircase that connects the two floors. Private terraces offer true indoor/outdoor living. 

The arrival moment in these penthouses was designed to maximize the unbelievable views afforded by the top of the building. A private elevator vestibule opens to an entry gallery that showcases framed, cinematic views of the city, Central Park, the Hudson River and beyond.  Throughout the rest of the homes, the expansive layouts deliver an elegant procession of spaces, which are further enhanced by elevated finishes, state-of-the-art construction and intelligent floor plans. The glass-cornered Great Rooms serve as urban observatories with unobstructed views that stretch for miles, while Central Park-facing terraces and marble fireplaces anchor the living areas.

Contemporary eat-in kitchens feature modern, marble hoods and waterfall-edge islands, bespoke white oak cabinetry and a full suite of premium appliances from Miele, Wolf and Sub-Zero. Within the Primary Suites, which extend the width of the residences, the corner sleeping quarters have been outfitted with spacious wardrobes and a modern, integrated wet-bar for the ultimate convenience. The accompanying primary bathrooms offer a graceful retreat with spa-inspired steam showers and a freestanding soaking tub, all framed by floor-to-ceiling window walls. The penthouses at 200 Amsterdam envelop you in their views and ever-changing light, providing a unique and luxurious living experience.
