Parc Beaufort Condos: What the Offering Plan Says

Updated · 6 min read

Parc Beaufort is a 1907 landmark office building on West 57th Street being converted into 47 condo apartments over a supermarket. Its offering plan details double-height homes, Kohler and Gessi baths, a shared roof terrace, a non-union staff with a 24-hour concierge, and a sponsor that can rent rather than sell units.

In brief: Parc Beaufort at 140 West 57th Street is a landmark office building from about 1907, being gut-renovated into 47 condo apartments above a ground-floor supermarket. Its offering plan describes studios to three-bedrooms, many with double-height living rooms, plus a shared roof terrace, a fitness center and a 24-hour concierge. What sets it apart: the sponsor keeps an unconditional right to rent unsold homes, so it may control the board indefinitely, and first-year property taxes are based on the building before renovation, so they could rise.

What's Specific to It

Listing photos of Parc Beaufort can show you the light and layouts. The offering plan, the document the developer filed with the New York Attorney General, tells you how the building will be run and what you agree to when you buy. New to these documents? Start with what a condo offering plan is.

Amenities

For 47 homes, the list is short:

Good to know: amenities may not open until up to 12 months after the first closing. The bike room may carry a monthly fee.

Tip: storage bins are sold separately as licenses, not deeded units, for $35,000 to $55,000. They're small (about 9 to 14 sq ft), not climate controlled, and carry a fee of about $2.50 per sq ft a month. See condo storage units and amenities by building size.

Staffing and Services

The plan projects a modest, non-union staff:

The lobby is to be staffed around the clock from the first closing. Two passenger elevators serve the homes. See where condo common charges go for context.

What It Costs to Run

The sponsor projects a first-year budget of about $1.3 million (October 2026 to September 2027). Residential owners carry about $1.14 million, and the commercial unit pays the rest. A few lines stand out:

Budget lineApprox. first-year cost
Payroll and benefits$600,000
Insurance$144,000
Electricity for common areas$139,000
Service contracts$108,000
Steam (heat and hot water)$75,000
Management fee$65,000

Staff is about 46% of the budget, and residential owners pay almost all of it. Common charges run about $1,000 a month for a studio to about $3,700 for a three-bedroom. Estimated property taxes add roughly $1,200 to $4,300 a month. Read more on common charges and estimating condo property taxes.

Good to know: the budget sets aside $10,000 for a replacement reserve. At closing you pay one month's common charges to the working capital fund and one month's to the reserve. See the working capital contribution.

Common Questions

Does Parc Beaufort have outdoor space?

Yes. All residents share a roof terrace of about 1,780 sq ft. Two penthouses on floor 15 also have private terraces of about 360 sq ft each.

How much are common charges at Parc Beaufort?

Under the sponsor's first-year projection, about $1,000 to $3,700 a month depending on the unit. Estimated property taxes add roughly $1,200 to $4,300, and the plan warns those may rise after reassessment.

Can owners change the outside of the building?

Not on their own. The building is a city landmark, so work on or in it needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, which can add cost and conditions.

Where this comes from: the building's offering plan (CD250149), filed with the New York Attorney General, including its Schedule A price list and Schedule B first-year budget. Prices are the sponsor's offering prices, not sales. Updated October 2026.
