History of 115 West 86th Street, Manhattan, NYC
115 West 86th Street is a distinguished prewar apartment building located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It was constructed in 1930-31 by the Sonny Holding Company and developed by the Rudin family, a prominent real estate family in New York City.
The building was designed by the architect Jacob M. Felson in a Neo-Renaissance style with Romanesque elements, featuring a steel-frame, fireproof construction. It rises 20 stories and has a primary facade composed of brick and terra cotta. Windows are multipane casement types with steel frames and transoms, characteristic of the period.
This site was formerly occupied by four brick rowhouses before the current building was erected. Today, 115 West 86th Street is recognized as part of the Upper West Side - Central Park West Historic District, reflecting its architectural and historical significance within New York City.

Nothing else matters Software Testimonial
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to recommend Stephen Sunderland and Optimal Spaces Inc. based on the excellent job they did assisting us in finding a lease at 215 Park Avenue South. They were fast and efficient in locating spaces that met our requirements and corporate image, aggressive in negotiating on our behalf, and effective in communicating our needs to the landlord and getting our offer accepted.
I look forward to working with the team at Optimal Spaces Inc. again.
Very truly yours,
Donald H. Rutherford
