A classic Emery Roth gem in Lincoln Square
Coliseum Plaza, designed by renowned architect Emery Roth, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of pre-war architecture in New York City. Completed in 1925, this 15-story building houses 183 condominium units, offering residents a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Located in the vibrant Lincoln Square neighborhood, Coliseum Plaza provides a serene residential experience while being steps away from some of Manhattan's most coveted cultural and recreational attractions. The building's traditional brick exterior maintains its original character, while the interiors have been thoughtfully updated over the years to meet contemporary living standards.
Versatile layouts with pre-war character
Coliseum Plaza offers a range of living spaces to suit various needs, from cozy studios to spacious three-bedroom apartments. Studios, spanning 350 to 485 square feet, are efficiently designed with high beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. Many feature windowed kitchens and updated bathrooms, with rents around $3,000 per month. One-bedroom units, ranging from 635 to 767 square feet, offer more generous living spaces and are priced around $800,000 for sale. These apartments often include separate living areas and bedrooms, with some boasting two full bathrooms for added convenience.
Throughout the building, residents enjoy pre-war details such as high beamed ceilings, hardwood strip floors, and large windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Many units have been renovated to include modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry. Bathrooms in updated units feature marble finishes and contemporary fixtures. Select apartments offer views of the Hudson River or the city skyline, while others overlook the tree-lined streets of the Upper West Side.
Larger units, including two and three-bedroom configurations, are also available, though less common. These spacious homes often feature multiple exposures, separate dining areas, and ample closet space, including walk-in closets in some primary bedrooms. Many apartments have been thoughtfully combined and renovated to create unique, flowing layouts that maximize space and light.
Classic service with modern conveniences
Coliseum Plaza offers residents a blend of traditional service and updated amenities. The building is staffed with a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent, ensuring round-the-clock assistance and security. The grand lobby, featuring artistically crafted wood carvings and moldings, provides a stately welcome to residents and guests alike.
For convenience, the building includes a central laundry room, recently renovated with new commercial washers and dryers. Bicycle enthusiasts will appreciate the on-site bike storage, while those needing extra space can take advantage of private storage lockers available for rent (subject to availability).
The building has undergone recent updates to enhance resident comfort, including the installation of new elevators and renovation of hallways. These improvements maintain the pre-war charm while incorporating modern efficiencies. A porter and handyman are on staff to assist with day-to-day maintenance needs.
Coliseum Plaza is a pet-friendly building, welcoming cats, though it should be noted that dogs are not permitted. The building's policies allow for pied-à-terre ownership and are generally amenable to parents purchasing for children, subject to board approval on a case-by-case basis.
Cultural riches and urban conveniences at your doorstep
Lincoln Square, home to Coliseum Plaza, is a vibrant neighborhood that seamlessly blends cultural sophistication with the warmth of a residential community.

Notable restaurants in the vicinity include Café Fiorello, known for its Italian cuisine, and The Smith, a popular American brasserie.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to both Central Park and Riverside Park. These green spaces offer a respite from city life, with miles of walking and biking paths, playgrounds, and areas for relaxation and recreation. The Hudson River Waterfront Greenway, accessible via Riverside Park, provides stunning river views and extends for miles along Manhattan's western edge.
For entertainment beyond Lincoln Center, residents can enjoy films at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square or catch performances at the nearby Beacon Theatre. The American Folk Art Museum offers a unique cultural experience, showcasing self-taught artists' works.
Shopping options abound, with The Shops at Columbus Circle providing a high-end retail experience just a short distance away.

Effortless connectivity to Manhattan and beyond
Coliseum Plaza's location in Lincoln Square provides residents with excellent transportation options, making it easy to navigate both the immediate neighborhood and the greater New York City area. The building's prime location offers convenient access to multiple subway lines, facilitating quick and efficient travel throughout Manhattan and to outer boroughs.
Just a short five-minute walk from the building is the 72nd Street station, serviced by the 1, 2, and 3 trains. This express stop on the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line allows for rapid transit to both uptown and downtown destinations. For those needing to access the Upper West Side or the west side of Midtown, these lines provide direct and speedy service.
A ten-minute walk in either direction provides access to additional subway options. To the north, the 79th Street station serves the 1 and 2 trains, offering another convenient point for entering the subway system. To the east, the 72nd Street station on Central Park West is home to the A, B, and C trains, part of the Eighth Avenue Line. This station provides express service to Midtown and Downtown, as well as connections to Brooklyn.
For those traveling by air, the building's location offers relatively quick access to the city's major airports. LaGuardia Airport is approximately a 20-minute drive, while both John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty International airports can be reached in about 30 minutes by car, traffic permitting.
The neighborhood's high walkability means that many daily errands and activities can be accomplished on foot, reducing the need for frequent use of public transportation or personal vehicles. The area's flat terrain and well-maintained sidewalks make walking a pleasant and practical option for getting around the immediate vicinity.
Cyclists will find the area accommodating, with bike lanes on many nearby streets and easy access to the Hudson River Greenway, a scenic route that runs along the western edge of Manhattan. This path provides a safe and enjoyable way to travel north or south along the island, away from street traffic.
While not typically necessary for daily life in this well-connected area, those who do drive will find the West Side Highway easily accessible, providing a quick route to other parts of Manhattan, as well as connections to bridges and tunnels for leaving the island.
The combination of multiple subway lines, walkable streets, and easy access to major roadways makes Coliseum Plaza an ideal home base for those who value efficient and varied transportation options in New York City.
