Closingsfirst and latest recordedJul 1, 2025 – Aug 20, 2026

Sales recorded with the Department of Finance (ACRIS) through Sep 30, 2026: deeds, or transfer tax filings for a building on leased land, of $10,000 or more. A home's first sale since the plan was filed is the sponsor's closing; resales aren't counted. Closing prices are compared with the same home's Schedule A price, as first offered; a deed covering more than one home isn't compared. Amendments often change prices before a home closes, and a deed that includes parking or storage counts its full price. ACRIS records a sale weeks after closing, so recent contracts don't appear yet. Every building's sales.

Budget

What It Costs to Run

The sponsor's first-year budget (Schedule B) projects about $3.4 million in total expenses, nearly all from common charges. Schedule A estimates monthly common charges from roughly $770 to about $6,300. Real estate taxes are separate (projected at about $3.3 million for the building).

Budget lineFirst-year projection
Wages, payroll taxes and benefitsabout $1.64 million (roughly 48%)
Common-area electricityabout $680,000
Services and suppliesabout $230,000
Water and sewerabout $190,000
Insuranceabout $170,000
Reserve fundabout $100,000
Management fee$85,000

Staff is the big driver. At closing you'll also pay two months of common charges into working capital. More context: common charge benchmarks, operating expense benchmarks and why operating costs differ.

Good to know: the budget assumed a first year starting November 1, 2024. If closings slip six months or more, the sponsor must amend the plan with a new budget, and a jump of 25% or more triggers a right to rescind.

The Building

Finishes

Highlights from the architect's specifications (compare with NYC condo finishes since 2010):

Kitchens

  • Wood veneer cabinets and honed natural stone counters and backsplash
  • Panel-ready Sub-Zero refrigeration (a Miele fridge-freezer is also listed) and wine storage
  • Wolf ranges or Wolf cooktops with wall, speed and steam ovens; Cove or Miele dishwashers

Bathrooms

  • Waterworks fittings in polished chrome, wall-mounted Toto toilets and Kohler sinks
  • Kohler or Hydro Systems tubs, honed natural stone accents; Duravit appears in other bath sets

Floors, Ceilings and Windows

  • Engineered white oak floors in variable lengths, glued over an acoustic underlayment
  • Ceilings up to about 9 feet in living rooms, about 8 in kitchens and baths
  • All windows in the old building are replaced, and 58 openings are enlarged

Laundry, Heating and Cooling

  • Every unit gets a washer and dryer (Miele, LG or Whirlpool by layout); 35 units get stacked machines, with an ADA-compliant LG option for qualifying buyers.
  • Heating and cooling: an LG ARUM VRF system, with energy recovery ventilation on lower floors.
  • Hot water comes from central gas boilers; your electricity is submetered and billed to you directly.

Amenities, Staffing & Transportation

Most amenities are in the cellar, with social rooms on the ground floor. There's no pool.

  • Cellar: a fitness center, yoga and Pilates rooms, a two-story multipurpose sport court (the amenity list also names a multi-purpose squash room), a music room, a children's playroom of about 785 square feet with a patio, and a maker's studio
  • Ground floor: a dining lounge, a game room, a sports/virtual reality room and a co-working room
  • Outdoors: a ground-floor courtyard and a cellar-level courtyard
  • Bikes and laundry: about 69 bicycle storage spaces, regulated by the board, and a common laundry room on top of in-unit machines

Good to know: the board can charge usage fees, and some amenities may not open until about 12 months after the first closing (all within 24 months). Compare amenities by building size.

Staffing and Services

The first-year budget pays for 13 staff:

  • A live-in resident manager who supervises the staff
  • Concierge coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, plus doormen 16 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • A handyperson and four porters

The plan says it anticipates the staff will be non-union but paid under the prevailing wage schedule. Staff hours may be trimmed while the building fills, but the lobby stays attended 24/7 after the first closing. Compare what a doorman costs in an NYC condo.

Transportation

  • Subway: 2 min walk to 96 St 1 2 3; 103 St 1, 10 min
  • Parking: 15 parking units in the plan

Fine Print

What's Specific to It

  • A former senior residence: the plan says the original building was formerly used as a Salvation Army senior citizen community, and the new annex sits on what used to be a parking area.
  • Some amenities sit under the sidewalk: the Pilates room, the music room and part of the storage lockers are in vault space owned by the City of New York, which the plan says the City can reclaim at any time.
  • Every buyer chips in for the accessible parking space: the handicap space is sold to the condominium for $500,000, and each purchaser pays a share at closing based on their unit's common interest.
  • A garage you reach by elevator: the 15 parking spaces are on the ground floor but reachable only by a vehicle elevator entered from the second floor on West 95th Street, with size limits on cars.
  • Non-union, prevailing wage: the plan expects building staff to be non-union but paid under the prevailing wage schedule, and staff costs are close to half the first-year budget.
  • No 13th floor: the building uses a marketing floor numbering that skips the 13th floor designation.

The offering plan, filed with the New York Attorney General and accepted in March 2024, names the brands, the staff and how parking and storage are owned. New to these documents? Start with what a condo offering plan is.

Fine Print Worth Knowing

  • Parking is a license: a license lets you park one car in the garage, not a specific deeded space, with size limits (about 6'6" tall, 17' long). Spaces are wired for a Level 2 charger you buy and install yourself, and licensees pay the garage's running costs. See sold, licensed or leased parking.
  • The shared accessible space: the condominium buys the handicap parking space for $500,000, funded by every purchaser's share at closing. The board can rent it month to month, but must free it up on 30 days' notice for a qualifying person.
  • Vault space risk: 29 storage lockers and parts of 12 more, plus the Pilates and music rooms and some mechanical areas, are in city-owned vault space. If the City reclaims it, affected locker licenses end.
  • Substitutions: the sponsor can swap materials, appliances and fixtures for items of equal or better quality.

FAQ

Is 720 West End Avenue new construction or a conversion?

Both: the plan describes a 1927 building whose stairs, slabs, steel and facades remain while everything else is new, joined to a newly built nine-story annex and a new penthouse level.

Are the doormen union at 720 West End Avenue?

The plan anticipates non-union staff paid under the prevailing wage schedule, with 24/7 concierge coverage, doormen 16 hours a day, a live-in resident manager, a handyperson and four porters.

Does every apartment have a washer and dryer?

Yes, the plan says each unit will have one, with Miele, LG or Whirlpool machines depending on the layout, and there is also a common laundry room.

Where this comes from: the building's offering plan (CD220253) as filed with the New York Attorney General, including its Schedule A prices, Schedule B first-year budget and the architect's specifications. Prices are sponsor offering prices, budgets are the sponsor's projections, and terms may change by amendment. Updated October 2026.
