The Belnord is an apartment building on West 86th Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. It is a New York City Landmark and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
It was designed in 1908 by the architectural firm of Hiss and Weekes. It is 13 stories tall and features Italian Renaissance style decorative elements. One of a handful of full-block apartment buildings in New York, it features two massive, two-story grand archways that provide entrance to an inner courtyard (one of the largest in the city[2]) with landscaped gardens.[3] Notable residents have included the writer Isaac Bashevis Singer, actor Zero Mostel and jazz impresario Art D'Lugoff.
The building was acquired by Extell Development Company in 1994 for $15 million.[4] For the next 20 years, Extell fought to deregulate the building and remove its rent-stabilized status. In March 2015, the residential portion of the building was sold to the HFZ Capital Group for $575 million.[5] HFZ hired architect Robert A. M. Stern to renovate 95 of the building's apartments, which would be sold as condos for a total value of over $1.35 billion.[6]
The Belnord was used for exterior shots as the fictional Arconia Building in the comedic murder mystery series, Only Murders in the Building.[7]
