Building: Grand Millennium

The Lincoln Square neighborhood in Manhattan’s Upper West Side is one of the most culturally-rich sections of New York. For those who like to live amongst the grandeur and sophistication of the neighborhood, The Grand Millennium is not only a full-service luxury condominium building, but a gateway to Central Park, Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center and the Time Warner Center — all within walking distance.

Developed by Millennium Partners, responsible for developing over 1,600 luxury condominiums and a host of other mixed-use upscale properties throughout Manhattan, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Washington and Miami, added this modern, glassed 32-story development to their impressive portfolio, completed in 1996. It has 200 luxury units within as well as extended-stay luxury hotel accommodations on the lower floors above its retail base.

Gary Handel & Associates and Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron (SLCE), architects responsible for numerous luxury mixed-use properties throughout Manhattan and the world (including 40 Bond Street in Noho and 15 Central Park West, respectively) designed the exteriors and interiors of this full-service, white-glove building.

Units range in size from one to very large five bedrooms luxury homes. Features included in some are wood-burning fireplaces, gourmet chef kitchens, formal dining rooms, marble and wood flooring and large closets. Penthouse units are ultra-luxury, some boasting enormous terraces (up to 1,700 square feet!) with phenomenal views of Central Park, Lincoln Center, the skyline and Hudson River.

Within walking distance are two popular UWS spots — Reebok Sports Club is across the street (special rates for Grand Millennium residents) and the 24-hour Apple store is a half a block away.

Located on a prime spot in the Upper West Side, the Grand Millennium satisfies both the busy professional and cultural connoisseur — steps away from everything one needs plus easy access to nearby Midtown.
