The Van Cortlandt Apartments

The Van Cortlandt Apartments
New York, New York (NY), US
In the late 19th century, the soot-belching locomotives that ran down the middle of Park Avenue made the thoroughfare unappealing. But with the trains converted to electricity, magnificent residences and upscale apartment buildings began appearing along the avenue. In 1903, William F. Rohrig broke ground for a six-story apartment building, The Van Cortlandt, at the northwest corner of Park Avenue and 96th Street. Designed by George F. Pelham, it was completed the following year at a cost of $195,000, or about $7 million in 2026. These days - 2026 - it's as swanky an address as when it was built, a 3 bedroom (that's what they have) will run you slightly north of 10k a month, though there is no availability.
