May 30th, 2025 — Luxury living takes a sophisticated new turn in Morningside Heights as Forten at Columbia officially debuts, bringing a fresh wave of hotel-inspired residences to one of New York’s most dynamic academic enclaves. Developed by Acre NY Realty and designed by Peter Poon Architects, this newly constructed 18-story tower at 410 West 126th Street introduces 93 upscale rentals atop a Hilton-branded luxury hotel—seamlessly blending contemporary design, curated amenities, and unmatched convenience for the modern Manhattanite.

Elevated Residences Above the Everyday

Forten at Columbia offers a selection of studio to three-bedroom layouts tailored for refined urban living. Clean architectural lines and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows define the interiors, offering luminous spaces with open neighborhood or skyline views. For those craving a more seamless indoor-outdoor flow, select units feature private balconies or terraces that open onto the city’s rhythm.

Each home is outfitted with modern-day essentials: key fob smart entry, in-unit washer and dryer, individually controlled heating and cooling, and sleek bathroom fixtures—all designed to deliver a sense of effortless, everyday luxury.

Residents enjoy access to a suite of thoughtfully curated amenities, including a fitness center, residents’ lounge, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline. A 47-space enclosed parking garage enhances accessibility for vehicle owners—an increasingly rare and coveted amenity in the city.

The building’s integration with a Hilton-branded hotel adds another layer of elevated convenience, marrying residential comfort with the ambiance and service-driven sensibility of luxury hospitality.

Seamless Access to Culture, Campus, and City

Strategically located just one block from the A/B/C/D subway lines and within minutes of Columbia University, Forten at Columbia is tailor-made for students, faculty, and professionals alike. A dedicated shuttle to Columbia University streamlines the commute, while Central Park, Columbus Circle, and downtown destinations are just a short ride away.

Everyday essentials are also just steps from the front door—Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Lincoln Market, cafés, restaurants, and green spaces collectively define a neighborhood that balances academic vitality with lifestyle convenience.

"We are proud to represent Forten At Columbia. Its prime location makes it an incredibly convenient option for students, offering easy access to campus while providing a modern, comfortable living environment."
