The Park Loggia, 15 West 61st Street: What the Offering Plan Says About Finishes, Amenities and Costs
The Park Loggia at 15 West 61st Street is a 172-unit, 33-story condo from AvalonBay with a Target store in its retail base. Its offering plan lists Miele kitchens, Kallista and Kohler baths, amenity floors with a golf simulator, music rooms and a theater, and a non-union staff that makes up close to half the first-year budget.
In brief: The Park Loggia is a 172-apartment, 33-story condo at 15 West 61st Street, just off Broadway in Lincoln Square, with studios through four-bedrooms above a retail base. Its offering plan stands out for an unusually deep amenity stack (a screening room, two music practice rooms, a golf simulator, a children's playroom and a full seventh-floor club level with a large roof terrace), Miele kitchens and Kallista bath fittings, and private loggias on many upper-floor homes. It also shares the building with a Target store, which holds a 15-year lease in the commercial unit below.
What's Specific to It
- A Target downstairs. About half of the commercial unit was leased to Target on a 15-year term with three five-year extension options. Residents have no share in that rent, but the commercial owner chips in about $200,000 a year toward shared costs like staff, insurance and management.
- Music practice rooms and a golf simulator. The fourth floor pairs a screening room with two acoustically paneled practice rooms, and the sixth floor has a golf lounge with a simulator and dry bar.
- Gas is in your common charges. Heat, hot water and cooking gas are paid by the building, not metered to you. You pay Con Edison only for electricity.
- Non-union staff, 24/7 desk. The plan budgets a round-the-clock concierge, a doorman for 16 hours a day, six porters, a handyman and a live-in resident manager, all non-union.
- Licensed storage, priced by the square foot. About 60 storage spaces of roughly 70 to 172 square feet are sold as licenses, with an ongoing fee of about $1.50 per square foot a month. The plan notes they're not climate controlled.
- No parking and no pool. The plan lists no garage and no swimming pool, though there's a porte cochere off West 61st Street.
If you're looking at The Park Loggia, the listing will show you floor plans and views. The offering plan the sponsor filed with the New York Attorney General goes further: it names the appliance and fixture brands, sizes every amenity room, lists the staff and lays out what the building expects to spend in its first year. Here's what it says, in plain terms.

Finishes
The plan says every apartment gets the same finish package, with a few appliance upgrades in larger layouts.
Kitchen
- Polished quartzite countertops and backsplashes, with lacquered cabinets
- Miele throughout: panel-ready refrigerator (30 or 36 inches wide depending on the unit), panel-ready dishwasher, 30-inch four-burner gas cooktop, convection oven, built-in microwave and a recirculating hood
- A Miele speed oven and/or wine cooler in select larger lines
- Kohler stainless sink with a Moen pull-down faucet
Good to know: the range hood recirculates rather than venting outside, which is worth knowing if you cook a lot.
Baths
- Kallista faucets, tub spouts and showerheads in polished chrome
- Kohler dual-flush toilets and cast-iron tubs (60 and 66 inches)
- Wall-hung Systempool "Ras" vanities with integrated basins
- Honed marble tile from Jantile, plus Porcelanosa porcelain tile

Floors, Windows and Loggias
- Wide-plank engineered oak floors from HF Design over a rubber sound-control underlayment
- Thermally broken aluminum windows with argon-filled insulated glass from Skyline Windows
- On floors 8 through 31, east and west loggias set into a glass window wall with out-swinging doors. Terraces and loggias are limited common elements reserved for the apartment they're attached to.
Laundry, Heating and Cooling
- A GE front-load washer and electric dryer in every apartment, plus a small pay laundry room (two washers, two dryers) in the sub-cellar
- Heating and cooling from individual water-cooled packaged heat pumps in each apartment
- Domestic hot water from central gas-fired water heaters
Tip: the plan's estimate of yearly electric bills runs from about $1,600 for a typical studio to about $6,650 for a typical four-bedroom. Gas isn't on your bill at all; it's in the common charges.

The amenities are spread over four low floors and a high roof terrace. Sizes below are the approximate square footages the plan lists.
- 4th floor: a screening room and two music practice rooms (about 800 square feet together)

Staffing and Services
The plan promises a lobby attendant on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and four elevators (two passenger, one swing and one service) running around the clock. The first-year staffing plan is:
- A full-time resident manager, who lives in the building rent-free in a unit the condo will own
- A concierge post covered 24/7 and a doorman post covered 16 hours a day
- Six full-time porters and a full-time handyman
Good to know: the plan says the staff will be non-union, paid at least state minimum wage, with health benefits budgeted for 15 full-time employees. Payroll comes to about $1.2 million, close to half of the whole first-year budget. Our guide to what a doorman costs in an NYC condo explains why staff is usually the biggest line.
What It Costs to Run
The sponsor's projected budget for the first year (August 2019 to July 2020) is about $2.66 million. Residential owners were projected to cover about $2.35 million of that, which works out to roughly $1,100 a month per apartment on average. Your own share depends on your unit's percentage interest, so check Schedule A for the actual figure.
- Payroll: about $1.2 million
- Service contracts: about $346,000
- Gas for heat, hot water and cooking: about $244,000
- Insurance: about $240,000
- Common-area electricity: about $208,000
- Management fee: $85,000
Two things help residents: the commercial unit pays its share of staff, insurance, management and other shared lines (about $200,000), and storage license fees bring in about $107,000 that offsets residential charges. For context, see common charge benchmarks and why operating costs differ.
Fine Print Worth Knowing
- No starting reserve fund. The plan sets up no initial reserve fund and budgets only about $9,700 a year for replacement reserves. Buyers pay a working capital contribution equal to two months of common charges at closing.
- Storage fees can rise. The $1.50-per-square-foot storage license fee is tied to inflation increases and can be changed by the board.
- The retail side is separate. Residents get no share of the commercial unit's rents, and the sponsor's affiliate may sell that unit after filing an amendment or getting a no-action letter.
- Sponsor rights. The sponsor can use unsold apartments as model units and sales or rental offices.
- Cable deals are pre-set. The condo is bound by the sponsor's agreements with Spectrum and Verizon for in-building wiring.
