BKREA has been retained on an exclusive basis to arrange the sale of 150 West 85th Street (“the Property”), a vacant 6-
story building located in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The Property is positioned mid-block on the south side
of West 85th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues, placing it in the heart of the West 80s with immediate
access to Central Park, Riverside Park, and the neighborhood’s premier retail corridors. The irregular lot area totals
approximately 6,575 square feet (As per Public Record) and features 75 feet of frontage, offering a wide mid-block
footprint, and has a depth of 102.17' . The property formerly was owned / operated by the Manhattan Country School,
however it’s now currently vacant, presenting a clean canvas for a user opportunity or a potential redevelopment in one of
the city’s most established enclaves.
According to city records and floor plans provided by the current ownership, the building is six stories ta l, including a
fu l basement and a mezzanine on the second floor. As per city records, the property totals 38,838 square feet,
though this figure is subject to confirmation through independent verification.
From a redevelopment perspective, although the property is currently overbuilt—given that the R8B zoning allows
for a 4.0 FAR (approximately 26,300 ZFA)—there may be a path to potential redevelopment or conversion.
Given its vacancy, 150 West 85th Street is ideally suited for a variety of owner-user executions, including but not
limited to educational institutions, religious organizations, and foreign government embassies.
