These condo new developments in the city are attracting buyers who like their new home so much they bought a second one within the same building. This “so nice I bought it twice” trend has been ever present at NYC condo buildings like Claremont Hall and One Manhattan Square, with many buyers purchasing a home for themselves and an additional unit for a family member, from adult children to in-laws and more – perfect for having everyone close by.
Located at 100 Claremont Avenue in Morningside Heights, Claremont Hall features 165 condominiums including one- to four-bedroom residences within the Union Theological Seminary (UTS) campus. The 41-story mixed-use building offers residents unrivaled river, skyline and park views as well as unmatched proximity to the vibrant cultural and academic hub of the Morningside Heights neighborhood adjacent to Columbia University.
With residences meticulously crafted by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), Claremont Hall’s design reflects the Gothic Revival character of the seminary campus and surrounding neighborhood, seamlessly connecting with the entry facade and the preserved historic campus buildings.
Crafted in collaboration with CetraRuddy Architects, the remarkable array of amenities and the captivating lobby seamlessly merge timeless charm with a modern perspective to reflect the Gothic Revival style.
