498 West End Avenue corner

Upper West Side luxury condo conversion 498 West End Avenue will be hitting the market this fall.

Last month, we reported on the changes coming to the century-old limestone and brick building. Located between West 83rd and West 84th streets, the development will have three- to five-bedroom residences designed by CetraRuddy. Earlier this summer, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a reconfigured entrance, new cornices and a 4,000-square-foot addition to create a penthouse.

Developer Samson Management acquired the 12-story rental property in 2012 for $52.5 million — a record for a rental building with fewer than 50 units along West End Avenue, The Real Deal reported.

“Everything we do will be true to the character of this extraordinary early 1900s building — from the design of the residences, to the restoration and reconfiguration of a beautiful wrought iron door,” Samson Management CEO David Kershner said in a statement.

Pricing will start at approximately $3 million, according to the new teaser site. Construction is slated for completion in Spring 2015. Halstead Property Development Marketing is handling sales, which will launch in September.
