Manhattan's West Side between 110th and 155th Street is one of the most concentrated corridors of landmarked townhouse inventory in the city. I've made it my singular focus.
The stretch of Manhattan's West Side between 110th and 155th Street holds one of the city's last intact concentrations of pre-war townhouse stock. These aren't apartments. They're individual buildings — with stoops, gardens, and the kind of vertical square footage that no new construction can replicate. Fewer than 400 single-to-four-family townhouses exist in the entire corridor. Turnover is rare.
The pressure on this corridor is accelerating. New 13-story buildings are now filing permits along Frederick Douglass Boulevard, permanently reshaping the neighborhood's character and establishing new density benchmarks. For owners of existing townhouse stock, this creates both opportunity and urgency — comparable sales are being established in real time, and the market narrative is shifting in your favor.
You don't have to sell to benefit from understanding your position. Knowing what your property is worth — and what a qualified buyer would actually pay — is intelligence. Whether your timeline is this year, three years from now, or never, that understanding changes how you manage, finance, and plan for your asset.
Before we go public, I commission an independent inspection so there are no surprises in negotiation. Buyers can't use deferred maintenance as leverage if we've already addressed it.
You'll know exactly what you have before a single buyer walks through the door. An objective valuation sets a defensible floor and sharpens every pricing conversation.
Years placing buyers in Manhattan's luxury market means qualified buyers before the listing goes live. Less time on market. Fewer contingencies. Better terms.

Philip grew up across three continents — the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa — before earning a degree in Business and Marketing from George Washington University. After years at Apple, he moved to New York and built a decade-long practice in luxury real estate, working with buyers and sellers in the city's most competitive segment: penthouses and high-value condos.
That experience — understanding what high-net-worth clients want, what they'll walk away from, and what they'll pay a premium to secure — is now brought to bear on the Hamilton Heights and Harlem townhouse corridor, where he works exclusively with both owners and buyers.
If you own a townhouse between 110th and 155th Street on the West Side, you have something rare. I can tell you exactly what it's worth.
