Columbus Village almost ready for move-in

Although some Upper West Side residents say the Columbus Village complex looks like it’s on hold, the development’s project manager said the buildings should be ready for move-in by Memorial Day. The five-building complex, at Columbus Avenue and 97th Street, will add 710 new rental units to the city, with Prudential Douglas Elliman as the exclusive marketing and leasing agent. The complex’s pricing and availability details will be revealed in two weeks, a spokesperson said. The development has faced harsh criticism from community groups and the Manhattan borough president, and has faced legal battles over the legality of the construction and the need for an environmental review.
