A Complete Guide to Manhattan’s New Landmark Residence
Claremont Hall has quickly become one of Upper Manhattan’s most admired new condominiums, consistently ranking among the top-selling buildings on the Upper West Side and in Morningside Heights. Residents often say they can’t imagine living anywhere else in Manhattan. Now, for the very first time, a resale condo at Claremont Hall is available.
I’m proud to introduce Residence 23G at 100 Claremont Avenue — a distinctive one-bedroom with a flexible home office and two full baths in a Robert A.M. Stern Architects-designed building.
At 1,036 square feet, Residence 23G is one of the building’s most versatile and sought-after layouts. The corner living and dining room is filled with southern light, while western-facing windows capture sweeping views of Riverside Church, Riverside Park, and the Hudson River. Architectural landmarks such as the Gothic Union Theological Seminary and Grant’s Tomb, designed by John H. Duncan, frame a one-of-a-kind backdrop that ties everyday living to New York’s storied history.
The chef’s L-shaped kitchen is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living, with a breakfast bar, custom Italian cabinetry, Calacatta Laza quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, and a paneled wine refrigerator.
The serene primary suite offers Hudson River views, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like marble bathroom with a custom walnut vanity and deep soaking tub. A spacious study/den provides the perfect home office or reading nook — large enough to accommodate a pull-out sofa for overnight guests. A full secondary bath with a glass-enclosed shower adds flexibility.
Additional features include wide-plank European white oak floors, ceilings up to ten feet, a Bosch washer/dryer, and abundant storage. Residence 23G is also the only one-bedroom line at Claremont Hall offering two full baths plus a home office — a combination rarely found in new development.
Every residence at Claremont Hall showcases the timeless refinement of Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA). Interiors balance pre-war inspired craftsmanship with modern sophistication: expansive windows, wide-plank flooring, Italian cabinetry, and spa-inspired baths clad in marble with RAMSA-designed walnut vanities.
Claremont Hall’s amenity collection, designed by CetraRuddy, spans three levels, rivaling Manhattan’s finest luxury condominiums. At its heart is the Refectory Pool — a soaring historic dining hall transformed into a 48-foot saltwater pool and event space.
Residents enjoy a grand double-height lobby with a 24-hour concierge, a landscaped terrace overlooking Sakura Park, a residents’ lounge and dining room with a curated Great Books Collection, a media screening room, and a fully equipped gymnasium with flex space. The youngest residents appreciate the whimsical “Little Castle” playroom, while pet owners benefit from a pet-friendly environment with its own spa. On-site parking and storage are available, supported by a full staff including concierge, live-in resident manager, porters, and handyman.
Between the Upper West Side and Harlem, Morningside Heights real estate blends historic architecture, cultural richness, and green spaces. Anchored by Columbia University, Barnard College, and the Manhattan School of Music, the neighborhood hums with academic and cultural energy. Just blocks away, the Janus Property Company’s Manhattanville Innovation Triangle has introduced research labs, creative offices, and cultural venues, further fueling this flourishing district.
Riverside and Morningside Parks provide leafy escapes, while local cafés, bookstores, and restaurants create a community that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply welcoming.
Residence 23G marks a milestone as the very first resale at Claremont Hall — a rare chance to own a one-bedroom plus home office with two full baths in one of Manhattan’s most architecturally admired new buildings.

When it comes to New York City real estate, few names carry as much weight as Robert A.M. Stern Architects. Known for designing some of Manhattan’s most admired buildings, Stern’s work has defined luxury condominium living in the city. One of his firm’s latest additions, Claremont Hall in Morningside Heights, combines timeless architecture, world-class amenities, and an unparalleled neighborhood setting.
For buyers considering a new condominium in Upper Manhattan, Claremont Hall stands apart. This article takes you inside the building — from the soaring lobby to the residences, the thoughtful amenity spaces, and the vibrant neighborhood beyond.
Completed in 2023, Claremont Hall rises 41 stories above Morningside Heights, one of Manhattan’s most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods. Its design is both striking and respectful: the limestone façade and Gothic-inspired details were carefully crafted to complement the century-old Manhattan schist buildings of Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University, which surround the site.
This contextual approach is a hallmark of Robert A.M. Stern’s work. Claremont Hall feels like it has always belonged in the neighborhood, while also offering the modern luxuries and lifestyle that today’s buyers expect from a new condominium development. I have even had locals ask me if the building was renovated because they cannot believe it was recently constructed.
At Claremont Hall, the experience begins the moment you walk through the doors. The double-height lobby makes a powerful first impression. At its center hangs a custom chandelier designed by Stern’s team to echo the Gothic architecture of nearby Columbia University, Riverside Church and Union Theological Seminary.
The lobby is elegant and welcoming, a space that sets the tone for the building. Services are equally impressive: a 24-hour concierge, package room, and cold storage ensure that daily life is convenient and secure. For many residents, this seamless arrival experience is part of what makes living here feel so elevated.
The homes at Claremont Hall are as thoughtfully designed as the building itself.
One of my favorite features of the residences is the visual connection to nature and the surrounding architecture. All of the residences begin on the tenth floor which means there are no bad views; they simply progress from great to amazing. Because the neighboring buildings are landmarked many of the views are protected.
The kitchens are a centerpiece. They feature Calacatta Laza quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and Bosch appliance packages. Whether preparing a weekday meal or entertaining, the design strikes a balance between durability, functionality, and refined style.
Bathrooms continue the theme of understated luxury, with marble finishes, custom walnut vanities, and Waterworks fixtures. They provide a spa-like environment at home — a private retreat in the middle of Manhattan.
Overall, the residences combine modern convenience with a timeless aesthetic, making them equally appealing as full-time homes or pieds-à-terre.
What truly sets Claremont Hall apart is its extensive collection of amenities, which rival those of much larger luxury towers downtown while maintaining an intimate, boutique feel.
Just off the lobby, residents have access to beautifully designed communal spaces created by Cetra Ruddy Architects. Their design was inspired by the Gothic architecture of the neighborhood and the intellectual energy of Morningside Heights.
The Resident’s Lounge evokes the feeling of a refined academic club — a place for reading, quiet conversation, or informal gatherings.
Adjacent is the Library Dining Room, lined with a curated collection of books reflecting Columbia University’s historic core curriculum. With a catering kitchen attached, this space is ideal for hosting dinner parties, private celebrations, or community events within the building.
Together, these spaces create a unique blend of sophistication and comfort, embodying the building’s connection to its historic setting.
Health and wellness are at the heart of the amenity package.
The fitness center is fully equipped with state-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment.
A separate studio provides space for yoga, Pilates, or personal training sessions.
The highlight, however, is the saltwater swimming pool, located in The Refectory. This preserved hall from the original Union Theological Seminary retains its vaulted timber ceilings and dramatic chandeliers. Swimming here is an extraordinary experience — unlike any other condominium pool in New York City.
Reflecting the intellectual and cultural spirit of the neighborhood, Claremont Hall also includes dedicated creative spaces. These studios are designed for projects that require room to spread out, as well as practice spaces for music or performance. For residents with artistic or academic pursuits, these amenities are especially valuable.
On the 8th floor, the Parkview Lounge and landscaped terrace offer another layer of lifestyle.
The outdoor terrace features greenery, seating, and quiet corners, with sweeping views of Sakura Park and Riverside Church. It’s the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon sun, or sunset views over the Hudson River.
Inside, the Parkview Lounge provides a flexible indoor environment — whether you’re working quietly, meeting with neighbors, or simply enjoying a calm retreat.
These spaces elevate the building’s connection to nature and community, offering residents places to gather, recharge, and take in the beauty of Upper Manhattan.
While Claremont Hall’s architecture and amenities are extraordinary, its location in Morningside Heights is what completes the lifestyle.
The neighborhood is home to some of New York’s most prestigious institutions: Columbia University, Barnard College, Teachers College, and the Manhattan School of Music. This academic energy brings a dynamic, international feel to the community.
Living here means being surrounded by architectural icons. Riverside Church, with its soaring Gothic tower, is one of the most recognizable silhouettes on the Upper West Side. The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, one of the world’s largest cathedrals, is just a few blocks away. Together, these landmarks give Morningside Heights its distinctive character.
Access to green space is another major draw.
Riverside Park stretches for miles along the Hudson River, with running and biking paths, athletic fields, and playgrounds.
Morningside Park, to the east, offers waterfalls, trails, and ball courts in a more intimate setting.
Few Manhattan neighborhoods provide this kind of balance between city living and access to nature.
The dining scene continues to thrive, with long-time favorites like Hungarian Pastry Shop, Pisticci, and Jin Ramen, alongside new cafés and international restaurants. Everyday conveniences, from grocery stores to subway access, make Morningside Heights both practical and inspiring.
When you combine the residences, the amenities, and the neighborhood, it’s clear why Claremont Hall has quickly become one of the most desirable new condominiums in Manhattan.
Life here means:
Arriving home to a soaring, elegantly staffed lobby.
Enjoying residences filled with light, views, and timeless finishes.
Taking advantage of amenities that range from wellness and fitness to cultural and intellectual spaces.
Living in a neighborhood defined by history, green space, and world-class institutions.
For buyers seeking a condominium that offers both sophistication and a strong sense of place, Claremont Hall is an unmatched opportunity.
Claremont Hall is more than just another new development in Manhattan — it’s a building that respects its historic context while providing the comfort, convenience, and design of modern luxury living. With residences by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, interiors by Cetra Ruddy, and a location in one of New York’s most culturally rich neighborhoods, it is a rare chance to live in a building that will stand the test of time.
If you’re considering purchasing a condominium in Manhattan, Claremont Hall deserves your attention.
