this is the old synagogue building, not the 15 story building. Or maybe it's both. I'm not entirely sure if the developer owns both.

By 2006, the synagogue had outgrown its original building, 200 Amsterdam Avenue, at West 69th Street. It struck a deal with American Continental Properties, a development company. They agreed to a land swap — 180 Amsterdam for 200 Amsterdam — under which the synagogue would gain a site for a new building, designed by CetraRuddy, and about $20 million to help finance the project. The developer would gain a site for a new apartment tower that would replace the old synagogue.
