In the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Chester Court is a distinguished cooperative combining architectural pedigree, historic character, and strong financial stewardship. Designed by the renowned architect Emery Roth and developed by Sam Minskoff, whose family would later become known for the iconic Minskoff Theatre on Broadway, the building reflects the craftsmanship and ambition of New York’s great early twentieth-century residential architecture.

Chester Court’s striking façade, richly detailed in polychrome terra-cotta, features decorative arches, sculptural ornamentation, and intricate architectural elements that give the building its distinctive presence. Inside, residents are welcomed through an elegant lobby defined by marble columns, coffered ceilings, and classic architectural detailing that evoke the timeless grandeur of prewar design.

Converted to cooperative ownership in 1981, the building is recognized for its sound financial condition and responsible management, with monthly maintenance costs that compare favorably with similar buildings.

Over time, the cooperative has thoughtfully added amenities for residents, including a landscaped rooftop garden that offers a tranquil retreat above the city, a fully equipped fitness center for convenient exercise, a multipurpose recreation room with a half basketball court that serves as both an indoor sports facility and a flexible space for social events and celebrations, and a well designed children’s playroom.

Ideally situated near Riverside Park, Central Park, neighborhood dining, cultural institutions, and convenient transportation, Chester Court offers residents the best of Upper West Side living. Together, these qualities make Chester Court one of the Upper West Side’s most distinctive and enduring residential addresses.
