Apartment building in Manhattan, New York
This article is about the building in the Upper West Side. For the buildings in the Bronx Zoo called the "Astor Court buildings", see Astor Court (Bronx Zoo). For the section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, see Astor Court.
The Astor Court Building is a 12-story, 164 unit apartment building on Broadway between West 89th Street and 90th Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, built in 1916. It was designed by architect Charles A. Platt for developer Vincent Astor.[1] The twelve-story building is constructed around a landscaped courtyard. Architectural historian Christopher Gray believes that the landscape architect may have been Ellen Biddle Shipman.[2] The building became a co-op in 1985.[2]
Famous residents include Joy Behar from The View.[citation needed]
