The Project
West108 is a stunning renovation project being developed by W 108 Development LLC. The project consists of two adjacent five-story townhouses on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
The developer, W 108 Development LLC, is creating a contemporary, upscale condominium building that will juxtapose a historic, Landmark-preserved front façade with a modern rear-façade and a new penthouse unit on the sixth floor. West108 will promote its community feel by offering several communal spaces such as a multipurpose lounge, full kitchen, a fitness center, and a rooftop terrace. The building will also feature a beautifully landscaped community garden. The project is expected to be ready for occupancy in 2019.

W 108 Development has also placed a priority on communal “hang-out” spaces, as evidenced by the multi-purpose lounge, kitchen, and backyard
While the wonderful communal areas make West108 one-of-a-kind, the individual units are nothing short of breathtaking. Between the priceless private entrance for the ground-floor unit, gorgeous bay windows with Juliet balconies for the front units, and stunning terraces overlooking the garden for the rear units, each unit has its own uniqueness. Additionally, all units are built with modern kitchens, remote controlled HVAC, built-in smart devices, and energy efficient appliances. The bathrooms are luxuriously designed with a contemporary feel, and the spacious layouts allow for high-end bathtubs and showers with non-slip surfaces. In combining luxury, convenience, and practicality, West108 accomplishes the seemingly impossible.
The History
The two townhouses on 324-326 West 108th Street were built in 1898 by Janes & Leo. The architects behind these historic beauties incorporated the then-popular Renaissance-Revival architectural style, and constructed the buildings using a combination of limestone, terra cotta, and brick . Due to the special architecture and historic value of these two townhouses, the property received prestigious Landmark designation in 2015.
