Enclave at the Cathedral

Built on the grounds of the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, Enclave at the Cathedral takes its name from that close. The unfinished Episcopal cathedral occupies the superblock between Amsterdam Avenue and Morningside Drive, and it leased the land at 400 West 113th Street to The Brodsky Organization under a long-term ground lease, using the income to help maintain the vast church. The arrangement drew opposition from neighbors and preservationists who wanted the grounds kept open, and the building’s position directly beside the cathedral made it one of the more debated new buildings in Morningside Heights.

Brodsky developed and manages the 15-story building, completed in 2016 with 428 apartments, which offers new construction in a neighborhood dominated by prewar buildings and university housing. Columbia University’s campus begins a few blocks north along Broadway and Amsterdam, with Barnard College across the street from it and Riverside Church and Grant’s Tomb beyond. Morningside Park drops away to the east and Riverside Park runs along the Hudson to the west.

The 1 stops at Cathedral Parkway-110th Street, and the B and C run under Central Park West with a station at 110th Street.
