500-504 Columbus Avenue
500–504 Columbus Avenue is a five-story mixed-use building offered for sale on the northwest corner of West 84th Street and Columbus Avenue in Manhattan's Upper West Side. The 35,258 SF structure sits on a 10,217 SF corner lot and anchors a rare residential redevelopment opportunity in one of New York City's most supply-constrained neighborhoods.
The ground floor is leased to Gristedes supermarket, with additional retail tenants including Park West Laundromat and a shoe repair shop providing stable income. The upper floors contain vacant residential units with 12-foot ceiling heights. As a contributing property within the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District, preliminary studies indicate potential to restore the building to its prior non-conforming configuration and pursue additional vertical expansion, subject to landmark approval.
The location offers immediate proximity to Central Park and Riverside Park, with access to renowned dining, top-tier private schools, and the neighborhood's established residential character. The C1-8A(R9A), EC-2 zoning and corner positioning support the redevelopment thesis.
