Property History
The Tempo at 240 West 73rd Street, is a 16 story plus
penthouse pre-war apartment building located on the south side
of West 73rd Street between Broadway & West End Avenue.
The 80’ wide, 109,290 Sq. Ft. property features sweeping views of
the surrounding Upper West Side neighborhood and contains 191
units of which 128 are fair market and renovated to a very high
standard of finish including new flooring, bathrooms, kitchens
and A/C. Institutionally owned and operated, over $13M has been
invested towards building-wide improvements and apartment
renovations since 2014. Building features include a fully renovated
lobby with workspace and Wi-Fi, on-site management
office, laundry room, gym, and 24-hour doorman. At present the
property is nearly 100% leased.
The 191 units are broken down into 189 residential units, one
medical office, and a vacant 2,110 SF ground floor commercial
space that could be converted to an apartment. As noted, 128
units (67%) are free market and the remaining 61 units (32%)
are rent stabilized. The unit mix for both the free market and
rent stabilized apartments is very diverse, featuring studios,
1 bedrooms, and 2 bedrooms of varying sizes. The superior unit
renovations have allowed the property to capitalize on the post covid
rental recovery which will continue to boost revenue as
leases roll. The influx of both new and returning city residents
coupled with the supply-constrained rental market has caused
rents in Manhattan to surge above pre-pandemic levels and
ownership has expertly positioned The Tempo to capture this
continuing upward trend.
The medical office is located on the ground floor in 1,355 SF of
rentable space which has been occupied by the same tenant since
2005. The lease was recently renewed for 10 years expiring in April
of 2032 at a current rent of $14,000 per month ($124/sf) with annual
increases. The vacant ground floor space was formerly home to
Gymboree and may be suited for conversion to residential use.
