The Arconia is the central location of Only Murders in the Building. It is set in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. The filming location used for the Arconia is the Belnord building on 261 West 86th Street.
The Arconia was built in 1908 by Archibald Carter, from the architectural firm of Hiss and Weekes. It is 13 stories tall and features Italian Renaissance style decorative elements. The Arconia features two massive two-story grand archways that provide entrance to an inner courtyard with landscaped gardens.
The Arconia is one of a handful of full-block apartment buildings in New York. Like other full-block buildings, the Arconia is built around a large, landscaped interior courtyard. The Arconia's courtyard is among the largest in the city.
