Claremont Hall‘s crown jewel, Penthouse 41, is in contract for $10.25M, setting a new record for a condominium sale price in Morningside Heights. Sophia Cicilioni, of Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, heads the sales and marketing team.
The sprawling full-floor home, designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, is centered on a grand living room that features three exposures, herringbone floors, a gas fireplace, and postcard-perfect views over the Manhattan skyline, Central Park, Riverside Park, and Riverside Church.
Claremont Hall is on the grounds of Union Theological Seminary’s Morningside Heights campus in upper Manhattan. The tower was developed with the institution, which, founded in 1836, is the oldest independent seminary in the US. The 41-story, mixed-use luxury building incorporates the facade of the seminary’s former refectory, built in 1908 in a Gothic Revival style.
Building amenities, designed in partnership with CetraRuddy Architects, include a pool, a gym, a walnut-paneled library and dining room, a resident’s lounge with a terrace, a children’s playroom and a “creative maker’s room.”
The tower’s first nine floors are dedicated for academic spaces and seminary faculty housing, followed by 165 luxury condos for sale from the 10th floor up. The seminary’s alumni includes Senator Raphael Warnock from Georgia and Karenna Gore, a lawyer and climate activist who is the daughter of former Vice President Al Gore.
