This area, the gateway from midtown to the Upper West Side and the home of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, perhaps comes closer than any other to being the definitive New York neighborhood.
It serves the prosperous and the poor, the refined and the raucous.
It has some fine architecture and a lot of disappointing buildings.
It has excellent public transportation, but is very congested.
It teems with life and controversy.
It is vibrant.
As the 20th Century came to a close, it was beginning to take its final form as the long controversy over the redevelopment of the New York Coliseum site on Columbus Circle was resolved with the creation of the massive Time Warner Center and as Donald Trump began the construction of the mammoth Riverside South project along the Hudson River. These were the two most important projects in the area since the completion of Lincoln Center in the 1960’s.
Because of its location at the southwestern gateway to Central Park and the western terminus of Central Park South, the Time Warner Center site is more prominent although Riverside South is more important urbanistically because of its large number of new apartments, its impact on the skyline from the river and its extension of Riverside Park to the south.
Both major projects definitely add to the area’s congestion and continued gentrification, but they have not radically changed its character. That character matured greatly in the late 1990’s with the completion of several new mixed-use towers, such as 150 Columbus Avenue, the Park Millennium and the Grand Millennium, by Millennium Partners at the north end of the intersection of Broadway and Columbus Avenue. While not architectural gems, these towers, which did have interesting forms, combined luxury apartments with very dramatic retail spaces that were quickly leased by major stores such as Barnes & Noble, Tower Records and Sony Theaters.
Combined with the performing arts center and the area’s many restaurants and sidewalk cafés, these “destination” retail facilities greatly augmented the existing inventory and served as catalysts to the emergence of this area as perhaps the most “complete” in the city, given its proximity to the midtown business district, which itself was shifting to the west.
Despite its mish-mash nature, this area has great synergy that overcomes its various failings. Although the Upper West Side was originally seen as having the potential to become New York’s “West End,” this area is now more like the Left Bank in Paris. It can be casual and carefree, formal and fearless, artsy and commercial, proud and peculiar.
