The Harrison - a life of enrichment In The Heart of The Upper West Side

Perfectly placed at 205 West 76th Street, The Harrison is a classically inspired luxury condominium designed by world renowned Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LLP for Related Companies, one of the nation's leading residential developers. The Harrison's stately architecture features two towers of 132 gracious residences reminiscent of pre-war buildings that line the Upper West Side. With its salmon-colored sandstone exterior transitioning to rich brick, The Harrison's Romanesque revival style includes signature arches, decorative friezes, robust pillars and delicate Juliette balconies.

A work of architectural stature and sophistication, The Harrison reflects the design tradition of Louis H. Sullivan, one of America's most influential architects. The Harrison's sweeping, 60' lobby features an awe-inspiring series of Romanesque arches and columns, English oak millwork and a grand stone fireplace. The same sophistication and elegance characterizes the 81 residences in the 14-story North Tower and the 51 residences in the 19-story South Tower.

In classic Upper West Side tradition, where home is the preferred destination, residences are generously proportioned and graciously designed for comfortable socializing. Ceilings are 9' - 10' in height, flooring is rich oak and oversized windows bring in cascades of light. All 132 residences at The Harrison are LEED Certified and each home is fully wired with integrated technology for high-speed internet, cable and voice and data distribution outlets. The Harrison offers one to five-bedroom, family-sized luxury residences, some with library. Several studios are also available.
