The property features 36 dormitory-style bedrooms with marble shower baths on every floor, along with a library, multiple event rooms, and a dining room with lounge. While not an official landmark, the building sold its air rights to the adjacent Carlton Regency co-op in 1979, is restricted to community facility use, and required a full renovation. Our Cushman & Wakefield team continues to lead in the sale of owner-user properties and unique, landmark-style commercial townhouses. Please reach out for more details.
