About
Built in 1927, The Brewster is an iconic 15- story mixed use building with approximately 116,000 net square feet of residential and professional space. Nestled against Central Park, the Brewster’s residents are minutes away from some of New York’s finest restaurants and culture institutions including The American Museum, The American Folk Museum, and the Columbus Avenue retail corridor. Easy access to the A, B, C subway stop on 86th Street promises residents an easy commute either up- or downtown. A variety of unit mixes (studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units), plenty of open space and air, and a fitness center ensure all resident needs are met. At the time of its sale in 2012, the Brewster was one of the last pre-war residential properties on the Upper West Side that had yet to undergo a reposition or conversion.
