If you want new construction on the UWS without being right on the busy southern stretch near Lincoln Center, look around West 96th Street. 250 West 96th Street (also marketed as 96+Broadway) is one of the newer options. It’s a 23-story limestone building with 131 homes, from one to five bedrooms, designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen. What makes it stand out among new development on the Upper West Side is the combination of location and amenities. You’re between Central Park and Riverside Park, the 1/2/3 express stop is across the street, and the building has a saltwater pool and a squash court. When you compare new buildings, look at floor plans, monthly common charges and how much outdoor space comes with each line, not just the price per square foot.
