Avalon Morningside Park, Residential tower in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, US
Avalon Morningside Park is a 20-story glass residential tower at 1 Morningside Drive containing 295 units ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments. The building features a modern design and stands prominently along the avenue in Morningside Heights.
The building was completed in 2007 and developed on land formerly occupied by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The cathedral's decision to sell the property in 2019 reflected significant changes happening in the neighborhood's real estate landscape.
The residential building sits within the academic environment near Columbia University, reflecting the intellectual character of the neighborhood. Many residents are connected to university life or drawn to the proximity of educational and cultural institutions in the area.
The building offers residents a fitness center, yoga studio, game room, business center, and outdoor patio with round-the-clock maintenance staff. The location provides easy access to cafes, restaurants, and public transportation in the immediate surroundings.
The glass facade of the tower offers views toward the adjacent Morningside Park and creates a visual dialogue between the urban structure and the neighboring green space. This relationship with the park gives the location a distinctive quality for those living there.
