The Concerto is a modern doorman building on a prime West Side location. Close to Fordham University and John Jay College and featuring some of the finest views in Manhattan, this prime UWS location features very comfortable apartments with balconies, double-pane windows, air conditioning, high ceilings, microwaves, dishwashers, icemakers and washer dryers. This building, which has about 8 apartments on most floors, has a health club and pool, a doorman, a concierge, a garage, video security, a sundeck, valet service and a recreation room.

While there has been substantial new development in the Concerto's immediate vicinity, much of it has been undertaken by the same developer, resulting in mindful views and orientations. One major new project is the nearby Time-Warner Center at Columbus Circle that has a very large and impressive Whole Foods Store in its basement. The building is close to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and many fine stores and restaurants and not far from subway stations and bus lines. There is considerable nightlife in the area as well.

This attractive, 35-story rental apartment tower is one of several erected by the Brodsky Organization in this area. Built in 1991, it is across Amsterdam Avenue from South Park Tower. This building has a more symmetrical top and rather traditional balconies as compared to those at South Park Tower. Its shaft is asymmetrical with a low bay, and it has an unusual pattern of corner windows. The massing of the top half of this tower is particularly pleasing as the sixth through the fourth balconies from the top are shifted away from the center two columns of balconies and the top of the building has a couple of setbacks. This alignment creates a strong horizontal emphasis to the top of the building that recalls the great Art Deco top of the former McGraw-Hill Building at 320 West 42nd Street, one of the West Side's most famous skyscrapers.
