200 Amsterdam Avenue: What the Offering Plan Says About This Lincoln Square Tower
200 Amsterdam Avenue is a 112-unit Lincoln Square condo tower from SJP Residential and Mitsui Fudosan America, with amenity floors below grade and on the second floor. Here's what its offering plan says about finishes, amenities, staffing, the budget and the fine print.
In brief: 200 Amsterdam Avenue is a new 112-apartment condo tower in Lincoln Square on the Upper West Side, sponsored by a venture of SJP Residential and Mitsui Fudosan America and accepted for filing in December 2017. The plan describes a tower served by elevators up to the 53rd floor, with the upper-floor homes reached through private elevator vestibules. What sets it apart, per the plan: an amenity program built around a 75-foot pool with a budgeted lifeguard operator, a staff planned as non-union, a single ground-level medical office unit sharing the building, and a recorded covenant that has the condo pay the neighboring Lincoln Towers community every year.
What's Specific to It
- A yearly payment to the neighbors. Under a 2015 declaration of restrictions tied to the site's zoning, the building pays the Lincoln Towers Community Association $300 per residential unit each January, budgeted at about $34,000 a year.
- A lifeguarded pool. The subcellar pool is about 75 feet long and 12.5 feet wide, and the first-year budget sets aside roughly $175,000 for an amenity operator described as a lifeguard.
- Non-union staff plus a hired concierge. The plan says the building staff will be non-union, and a third-party concierge service covers the front desk eight hours a day on weekdays on top of the employed doormen and concierges.
- A medical office unit inside the condo. One Professional Unit is reserved for offices for medical professionals. It pays a small share of common charges (under 1% of the common interest) and only toward certain expenses.
- Private vestibules and private elevators. Passenger elevators open directly into private vestibules on floors 41 to 52, and the two penthouses, PH1 and PH2, each get a private elevator.
- Storage and bikes are licensed, not owned. The plan offers 89 storage lockers and 60 bike racks as licenses, first come, first served, each with a monthly license fee.
The offering plan, filed with the New York Attorney General, shows what listings don't: what's behind the walls, who staffs the lobby and what owners pay for.

Laundry, heating and cooling

- Heating and cooling: each home gets zoned packaged heat pumps with programmable thermostats. The plan says the owner owns and maintains them, and they run on the apartment's own electric meter.
- Fuel: gas-fired boilers handle building heat and hot water, and gas also feeds the ranges, fireplaces and the emergency generator. That gas is paid as a common expense.
Amenities
The amenities sit mainly on two levels: an aquatic and fitness level on Subcellar 1 and an amenity floor on the second floor, which includes an outdoor terrace. The plan lists:
- Aquatic and fitness center: a pool about 75 feet long, 12.5 feet wide and 4 to 4.5 feet deep, a golf simulator, a fitness club with cardio and other equipment, and yoga and stretching rooms.
- Spa: men's and women's facilities with lockers, showers, sauna and steam rooms, plus a spa with treatment rooms.
- Social and family rooms: a lounge, a dining room with catering pantry, a library, a club room, a rehearsal and music room, a kids' playroom and a terrace.
- Practical spaces: a pet spa, a package room by the concierge desk, a ground-floor bike room and cellar storage lockers.
Good to know: The sponsor and board may charge fees to reserve and use amenities. The full package is expected once at least half the units have closed. Compare the lineup with similar buildings in our amenities by building size guide.
Staffing and Services
The first-year budget puts payroll and related costs at about $1.08 million, the biggest line in the budget. The plan lays out:
- 1 full-time resident manager, who lives in a dedicated apartment in the building that's meant to be sold to the board
- 2 handymen and 4 porters
- Doormen and concierges budgeted as 6 full-time positions, so the front desk is covered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- A third-party concierge service, about $140,000 a year under service contracts, at the desk 8 hours a day, 5 days a week
The plan states that the staff will be non-union, with wages that meet state minimum wage laws. The service contracts also pay about $175,000 for a pool operator and cover BuildingLink. See our doorman cost guide.
What It Costs to Run
The sponsor's first-year budget (projected for July 2020 to June 2021) totals about $3.6 million. Residential common charges cover almost all of it, roughly $3.5 million across 112 homes, or about $2,600 a month on average. Your unit's actual charge depends on its share of the common interest. Notable lines:
- Payroll: about $1.08 million, roughly 30% of the budget
- Common-area electricity: about $825,000
- Service contracts: about $604,000, including the pool operator, hired concierge, window washing and the Lincoln Towers payment
- Insurance, water and gas: about $625,000 combined
- Replacement reserve: about $171,000
Common charges include gas for heat and hot water and the building's water. You pay your apartment's electricity, including your heat pumps, directly to Con Edison. At closing, buyers contribute one month of common charges to working capital. See common charge benchmarks and why operating costs differ.
Fine Print Worth Knowing
- Lincoln Towers covenant: the yearly $300-per-unit payment to the Lincoln Towers Community Association runs with the property, so it stays a building expense.
- Tax abatement: owners may qualify for the condo tax abatement only if they are individuals using the unit as a primary residence. LLCs, corporations and owners of more than three units don't qualify, and the plan warned that renewal of the program wasn't guaranteed.
- Licenses: storage lockers (about 17 to 32 square feet, on the cellar level) and bike racks are licenses with monthly fees. There are fewer of each than there are units.
- Generator: the gas-fired emergency generator backs up building power, including life-safety systems, but the plan tells buyers not to count on it to power their unit.
