Building Description

When Columbia University moved uptown in the early 1900s the school encountered block after block of empty lots. Between 1905 and 1910 Columbia developed 60 residential buildings, mostly along Riverside Drive. Growth pushed the building spree inland towards Morningside Park. In 1924, acclaimed architect George F. Pelham helmed the construction of the 15-story Butler Hall at 88 Morningside Drive, overlooking the park. The Neo-Colonial styled brick tower features a marquee over the street entrance that would have been the envy of the grand atmospheric theaters of the day. The 285 new units at 88 Morningside Drive were named for then school president Nicholas Murray Butler.

All of the cosmopolitan amenities of the Columbia University campus are within easy reach of Butler Hall, and the school's Visitors Center is on the next block with subway service on the 1 train. City bus stops are a short walk from 88 Morningside Drive, including the M11 just steps away. Area schools include I.S. 362, the New York French-American Charter School, Teacher's College Community School, P.S. 36 and P.S 125.

Eliza Theiss, Apr 23, 2026 $4.6M Hudson Yards Maintains Top Spot, Luxury Sales in Malba Set $2.5M Price Record for Queens
Despite prices declining, Hudson Yards remained the most expensive NYC neighborhood, but TriBeCa’s growth closed the gap to under $400,000, while Malba set a new historic price record for Queens at $2.5 million, securing the highest ranking ever for the borough at #5.
Eliza Theiss, Mar 19, 2026 Cheaper in the City? Nearly 100 Communities in Suburban NYC Surpass $1M
New Yorkers planning a move to the suburbs increasingly find their options limited, after suburban home values shot up twice as fast as NYC medians over the last decade. While larger homes and better prices were long the norm outside the five boroughs, today, many NYC buyers find their option restricted to a handful of suburban markets.
