Hush Street is tracking what’s being built on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
The Upper West Side’s biggest change is concentrated at its southern end. On the former ABC campus between West 66th and 67th Streets, Extell is clearing the way for a four-building plan led by an 86-story, 1,198-foot condo tower that would be the neighborhood’s tallest building by more than 400 feet, a block from the 775-foot 50 West 66th Street it finished this summer. Across Columbus Avenue, Lincoln Center has broken ground on a 2,000-seat outdoor theater in Damrosch Park.
Farther north, new housing mostly arrives one site at a time, and religious institutions are a major source of land: Holy Name of Jesus sold its school building at 200 West 97th Street for a 28-story, 340-unit tower, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission is weighing a rare request to let West-Park Presbyterian Church be demolished.
Where DOB records and press reports disagree on heights or unit counts, both are given. A permit is not treated as proof that construction has started.

Lincoln Square: Extell's Supertall Block & Lincoln Center
The tallest and most expensive projects on the Upper West Side are all within a few blocks of Lincoln Center.

80 West 67th Street (Former ABC Campus)
A Stop-Work Order and a $3.8 Billion Loan
The city’s Department of Environmental Protection issued a stop-work order for the entire site on July 24, 2026, after asbestos-containing material was disturbed during the last of the demolition, Patch and West Side Rag reported. DOB has since issued the excavation and foundation permits, but Hush Street has not found confirmation that DEP lifted its order.
In September, The Real Deal, citing Bloomberg, reported that JPMorgan was in talks to lead about $3.8 billion in construction financing for Extell’s condos on the site.

37 West 66th Street
The Block's Second Tower
AECOM Tishman is the general contractor, according to YIMBY. Extell’s plan for the block also includes smaller buildings at 30 West 67th Street (9 stories, 50 units) and 7 West 66th Street (7 stories, 31 units).

50 West 66th Street
The Tallest Building on the Upper West Side, for Now
50 West 66th Street is currently the neighborhood’s tallest building. Extell’s planned tower around the corner at 80 West 67th Street would top it by more than 400 feet. YIMBY reported prices starting at $4.6 million.

Lincoln Center West & The Baron Theater
Opening Lincoln Center to Amsterdam Avenue
The project is the centerpiece of Lincoln Center’s $335 million West Initiative, according to Lincoln Center. Removing the Amsterdam Avenue wall would open the campus’s western edge to the street for the first time.

Church Land, Condos & Affordable Housing
North of Lincoln Square, new homes come one site at a time: a church school, a contested landmark, luxury condos on Broadway and Amsterdam, and senior housing on West 108th Street.

200 West 97th Street
A $96 Million Church Sale
The Church of the Holy Name of Jesus and St. Gregory the Great sold the building for $96 million in February 2026 and continues to worship at its church on West 96th Street, West Side Rag reported. At 28 stories, the tower would be one of the tallest on the Upper West Side north of Lincoln Square.

West-Park Presbyterian Church
The Upper West Side's Biggest Preservation Fight
The congregation says it cannot afford to repair the building. The Center at West Park, an arts nonprofit and former tenant, is fighting the demolition, Community Board 7 recommended denial in 2025, and Councilmember Gale Brewer has opposed it. West Side Rag reported that the commission has granted slightly more than half of the 23 hardship applications filed since the landmarks law was adopted.

The building is one of a handful of new RAMSA-designed condos on the Upper West Side, along with The Henry on West 84th Street, aimed at buyers who want large apartments in new construction.

The Henry (211 West 84th Street)
A $499 Million Sellout
Naftali bought the site for $71 million in 2022. The building’s condo offering plan, filed with the state attorney general, lists a total sellout of about $499.2 million.

WSFSSH at West 108th, Phase 2 (105 West 108th Street)
Affordable Senior Housing
This is the second phase next to WSFSSH’s existing building on West 108th Street, financed by city housing and homeless services agencies and private lenders including JPMorgan Chase and Capital One, according to YIMBY. It is the only affordable housing project on this page already under construction.

Museums, a Cinema & Riverside Park
Cultural and public projects: a church becoming a children’s museum, a revived movie theater, and two long-running Riverside Park rebuilds.
12
Children's Museum of Manhattan (361 Central Park West)
A Landmark Church Becomes a Museum
The museum’s DOB filing describes a vertical enlargement of the former First Church of Christ, Scientist with a new community terrace; YIMBY reported in 2024 that $200 million of the $300 million had been raised.

Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument Restoration

Riverside Park's Waterfront Hub
Hush Street could not confirm whether in-water marina construction is active now, so the dates here are the agencies’ own projections.

What We're Watching Next
The next milestones are DOB’s approval of the 80 West 67th Street tower and confirmation that DEP’s asbestos order is lifted, the Landmarks decision on West-Park Presbyterian, and the new-building approval at 200 West 97th Street. A supportive housing plan for the Saint Agnes site on West 74th Street was dropped by its sponsor in April 2026, West Side Rag reported.
Across Central Park, Hush Street tracks the Upper East Side, and to the south, Chelsea and Midtown East.
