The Melar

The Melar is a new development in New York that offers residents the added luxury of living in the highly desirable Upper West Side. Built in 2006, this full-service building was developed by Friedland Properties and is managed by Rose Associates. The 22-floor high-rise encompasses 143 apartments, all of which are easily accessible via elevator.

Apartments at the Melar feature amazing floor-to-ceiling windows, which bathe the space in natural light while simultaneously framing stunning river and city views. Luminous oak plank flooring adds an additional touch of warmth and elegance to the residence. Surfing the net day or night is no problem for the residents at the Melar, with high-speed internet options in every apartment. Self-controlled heating and cooling ensures that while residents are enjoying their time at home, they can do so in absolute comfort. Fashionistas and avid shoppers rejoice over the size of the spacious closets. Kitchens are fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, sleek granite countertops and wooden cabinetry. Marble bathrooms feature soaking tubs and are accented by imported Italian tile, lacquered vanities and stainless steel fixtures.

The Melar offers services and amenities not found at many new developments in New York. Take for example the top-of-the-line fitness center outfitted with state-of-the-art Cybex cardio and strength-training equipment, or the lushly landscaped terrace where residents can lie back and relax, sunbathe, enjoy a book, or just take in the stunning river and city sights. The striking lobby features a 24-hour doorman, concierge and lobby attendant. There's also a bike room as well as private lockers for residents’ storage needs. There's also an on-site laundry room. The Melar is a pet-friendly facility.

The Melar's Upper West Side location offers many advantages to its residents. Nearby parks include the iconic Central and Riverside Parks, where residents can take a leisurely stroll, walk the dog, or enjoy a brisk jog. The Upper West Side is known for its cultural attractions, high-end shopping, gourmet dining, and vibrant nightlife. Transportation is a non-issue with the subway station at 96th Street, where residents can catch the 1, 2, and 3 trains, and there is also nearby cross-town bus service.
