Extell files plans for 86-story apartment tower on Upper West Side


By Kevin Smith
Apr 23, 2026

The 1.2 million-square-foot mixed-use building will replace a property formerly used by ABC and Disney. Extell acquired the site in 2022 for $931 million.

Total built sf will actually be 1.6 msf

Total Building Square Footage 1,654,440

[ChiND]

If the HOF is 1,182 feet, it would be nice if this could crack
1,300 feet tall.

They’ve already submitted a max to the FAA.

New 86-Story Building Proposed for the Upper West Side; Would be Tallest in the Neighborhood





April 24, 2026
By Gus Saltonstall

The Upper West Side looks to be adding a super-tall building to the neighborhood.

This week, Extell Development filed a new permit with the city proposing to build an 86-story residential property at 80 West 67th Street, on the corner of Columbus Avenue, which is the former home of the ABC campus site.

The building proposed by Extell, now owner of the property, calls for a 1,182-foot-tall building. For comparison, that is around 275 feet shorter than the Empire State Building, and would be easily taller than the current tallest building on the Upper West Side, a different Extell 775-foot tower at 50 West 66th Street.

The new 86-story building would be nearly double the height of the controversial 200 Amsterdam Avenue residence, which critics said was too tall for the neighborhood.

The new building would have 430 residential units, amenity space, roughly 25,000 square feet of retail space, and a garage with 187 parking spots, according to the permit filed by David Rothstein, an executive vice president at Extell.

What is not clear from the building permit filed this week for 80 West 67th Street is the number of affordable units that the address might include. Under the current zoning regulations that cover the former ABC site, Extell is not required to build affordable housing, but Gary Barnett, the founder and chairman of Extell Development, told Upper West Side Community Board 7 in May 2025 that he was willing to allocate some of the Extell site — on West 66th and 67th streets from Columbus to Central Park West — to affordable housing.

As for the height of the project, there are few guardrails that would limit how tall Extell can build within this specific site.

Extell files New York plan for what could become Upper West Side’s tallest building

I’m very eager to see the renderings for this and 655 Madison.

Speaking of tall residential towers, I hope that the Sedesco and Vornado/LeFrak lots will be combined. Even if they’re not, I’m curious as to how Sedesco’s tower will look, Presumably, OMA’s original design is obsolete since Sedesco acquired more properties to augment its site.

The largest new building application filed last week was on the Upper West Side, where Gary Barnett’s Extell Development filed plans to build a 1,650,000-square-foot building at 80 West 67th Street, the former Disney/ABC campus. The project will have 430 units and stand 86 stories tall; it also will have 25,000 square feet of retail space. The architect on the application is Jennifer Cheuk.

It will be interesting to see the design. A search of the architect leads to SBJ group and their recent projects have fairly boxy and somewhat bland designs.

[ChiND]

I suspect that SBJ is merely the architect of record.

These condos could wind up selling for $7k/sf. I don’t think that Gary would let a firm whose bailiwick is new residential midrises on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn design this tower.

[mrnyc]

^ yep thats dubious -- and besides the site it's tall enough for them to bring us an interesting rezzy tower.

Yep, upon review of their projects, they seem to have a penny-pinching bland design taste.

Their history does not bode well for this site.

[Crawford]

Read the thread. SBJ aren't the design architects.

Extell doesn't mess around.

[ChiND]

Hopefully, Gary will release renderings for this, 655 Madison, and 570 Fifth soon. I wonder why he's so coy.
