About

One of the last remaining tenements near Columbus Circle, on one of the shortest blocks in Manhattan. Built in 1901 and originally named Carter Apartments, it boasts high ceilings, large windows, a live-in super and no frills. Back in the day, it served as home to Broadway actors who needed a short term place for the run of the show. Now a more traditional rental building, it still attracts many creative types, making it “feel like Brooklyn in the middle of Manhattan.
