The Encore, 175 West 60th Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 175 West 60th Street by Carter Horsley

This handsome, 48-story rental apartment building at 175 West 60^th Street on the northeast corner at Amsterdam Avenue just to the west of the Fordham University Lincoln Center campus and a block south of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

It was erected in 2016 by Glenwood Management and designed by Stephen B. Jacobs.

It has 258 apartments.

John Saladino was the interior designer.

Glenwood’s portfolio includes many of the city’s most luxurious rental towers including the Somerset, the Stratford, the Pavilion, the Barclay, the Brittany and the Andover on York Avenue
