Welcome to the Galaxy Condominium

GENERAL INFORMATION

Situated atop the Palisade Cliffs and offering a spectacular skyline view of Manhattan and environs, the Galaxy was designed and is managed so as to afford a unique self-contained elegant style of urban living, with complete Spa, shops, restaurants, movie theater and a wide array of recreational activities.

The Galaxy is a condominium, with each of its 1,075 apartments individually owned, precisely as if it was a one family home, with the owner making real estate tax and mortgage payments, and paying as well to the Galaxy Towers Condominium Association (hereinafter the "GTCA") the charges as determined each year by its Board of Directors as to cover the cost of management, utilities, and maintenance of all the "common element" (lobbies, park, hallways, elevators, Spa, etc.).

It is no exaggeration to say that the Galaxy is not just a place to live, it's a way of life. Nothing like it exists, anywhere, at any price. And because of restrictions enacted after the Galaxy was constructed regarding developments alongside or above the Palisades, and the prohibitive costs the now would be entailed in attempting to duplicate our facilities, it is probable that nothing like it will ever be built again.

DESIGN

The Galaxy was developed by Prudential Insurance Company, assisted by world renowned architects, engineers, and decorators.

It consist of three octagonal skyscrapers (the "Towers") rising 50 stories above the Hudson River, two connecting apartment buildings, an 11 story garage, and an affiliated two level shopping and convenience Mall, completely interconnected indoors.

All the structures other than the Mall start at the foot of the Palisades on the Hudson shoreline and rise up to the height of the Cliffs, with the Towers continuing thirty stories above. Because of this singular construction and layout:

Access to the Galaxy is via a circular tree-lined driveway (the Plaza) off Boulevard East on top of the Palisades, so that upon entering any of our three Tower lobbies directly from the Plaza or through the garage guest elevators, you are already on the 19th floor and then proceed either up or down to the residential floors.

Each of the Tower floor has only two short sides off the elevator vestibule (on average there are just 8-10 apartments per floor), thus avoiding the long institution-like hallways in most large apartment buildings.

Every floor is beautifully decorated, with bronzed mirror, graphics, side wall decorative sconces and attractive gold-bordered ceiling fixtures.

Thank you for the quick visit.
