Parc Beaufort Condos: What the Offering Plan Says
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
- Double-height homes. Ten units, including the A line on odd floors and both terrace penthouses, have double-height spaces with ceilings up to about 19 feet 10 inches. These areas must stay open and can't be filled in.
- Landmark rules. Any work on or in the building needs approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The condo board pays the cost of complying with landmark rules.
- The sponsor can rent instead of sell. If it holds enough unsold units, it may control the board long after the usual five-year control period ends.
- A supermarket downstairs. The commercial unit is leased to Crimson & White LLC as a supermarket. Its owner gets one of six board seats, and residential owners get none of its rent.
- Taxes may jump. First-year tax estimates use the pre-renovation assessment, and the plan warns taxes may rise materially once the building is reassessed. No tax abatement is assumed.
- Non-union staff. The staff is hired through a third party, not employed by the condo, and paid at least the state minimum wage rather than prevailing union rates.

Staffing and Services
The plan projects a modest, non-union staff:

- A concierge 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
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 line | Approx. 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.
Fine Print Worth Knowing
- Sponsor control. The sponsor controls the board for up to five years after the first closing. Because it can rent rather than sell, it may hold a majority of units and control the board indefinitely. The plan also warns that many residents may be renters.
- Right of first refusal. The board has a right of first refusal on sales and leases. It can't otherwise approve or reject buyers.
- Sales events. For up to 10 years after the first closing, the sponsor can use common areas for sales and promotional events at no charge.
- Old building issues. Lead paint was found in existing walls, railings and windows. The plan says walls were covered with new drywall and other surfaces cleaned or replaced.
- Contract terms. You pay a 10% deposit at signing and another 10% later. Financing isn't a contingency, and you waive a jury trial. Late closings cost 0.04% of the price per day.
- Air rights. The sponsor keeps unused development rights and may sell them, though not to add floors to this building.
