Sales have officially launched at 720 West End Avenue, a new residential property located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Originally built to be the Hotel Marcy, 720 West End Avenue is undergoing a complete interior redesign by Thomas Juul-Hansen and exterior restoration by BP Architects. The classic Renaissance Revival-style façade is being renovated to preserve its intricate architectural features, while two new floors are being added for penthouse duplexes with outdoor space.

The residences offer a mix of one- to five-bedroom homes, including townhouse duplexes and penthouses with private terraces, ranging from approximately 500 to over 3,700 square feet. The interiors strike a balance between pre-war and contemporary design, and boast views of the Hudson River and the city skyline. Kitchens will feature custom cabinetry, Namibia Rose marble countertops, and professional-grade appliances.
