At 101 West 85th St., on the corner of Columbus Avenue and 85th Street in Manhattan, sits the building once known as the Brockholst, an 85th Columbus Corp.-owned mixed-usage property with four commercial spaces and 41 apartments spread across its six stories. A resident superintendent, along with the building management company, ensures the quality of the property features and amenities. The company, dedicated to the building’s improvement, undertook an exterior restoration, which took place over a two-year period spanning from 2007 to 2009.
85th Columbus Corp. houses businesses that add value for its tenants and other residents and visitors of the Upper West Side. These businesses include Firehouse Tavern, an American restaurant and bar; Nonna, a classic Italian restaurant; a laundromat; and a deli. The building has elevator service, reaching the commercial spaces on the ground floor and the residential apartments above.
Recently, 85th Columbus Corp. has worked to create a community facility in the building’s cellar. The company has obtained all required city permits and begun the process of construction. The space will most likely be used to house a school. The construction will be most likely be completed by fall 2012.
To further ensure the value of the property to its residential and commercial tenants, the building’s management company maintains membership in the Community Housing Improvement Program and the New York State Rent Stabilization Association. The company upholds a policy of ongoing restoration and invests substantial capital in building improvement.
