Construction is now complete on Vandewater, a 33-story residential tower at 543 West 122nd Street in Morningside Heights, Manhattan. Developed by Savanna and designed by INC Architecture & Design with SLCE Architects as the executive architect and Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc. as the landscape architect, the 385-foot-tall structure yields 183 condominium units. Brown Harris Stevens Development has been in charge of marketing and sales for the property, which is bound by Broadway to the west, West 122nd Street to the south, West 123rd street to the north, and Amsterdam Avenue to the east.
Since our last update in early February, the ground-floor landscaping, sidewalks, and main entrance on the southern elevation have all been finished and the green sidewalk scaffolding has been removed.

There are numerous rectangular planters positioned around the perimeter of the stone-paved motor court and wide sidewalks. Each one has birch trees and landscape lighting. The entrance to the Vandewater has a pair of tall doors lined with an ornamental diamond pattern across the glass, and sits beneath a dark canopy with sculptural touches that match the building’s exterior. On the eastern end of the structure is a private outdoor garden.

Nice design, although it looks more like an office building. The floor plans show tiny rooms, but what can you expect for a measly $3 million.
New found and your photos forced me, on the property becomes more than photo. I always seemed to be on the move, with my feeling when I was invited to look at; very beautiful: Thanks to Michael Young.
New photos old ones, new property old property. All feels no reals. We need Jhon Cena.
Morningside is getting some love.
I love this design, elegant. Bravo!
I really like the facade of this building, it is beautiful…it harkens back to the art deco days of the 1930’s, yet with a modern zest. I give this building a big thumbs UP!!!
I absolutely adore this building! Its handsome posture with its elegant facade add for a very beautiful building, especially for Morningside Heights. Very very nice.
Beautiful building. Finally some nice new housing in Morningside Heights that the community has fought every new development for decades. This is only a block away from Columbia University. The building on 122nd and Claremont and 125th and Broadway also taking shape.
Like to get a one-bedroom apartment can you help me somewhere in Queens
