About The Park Laurel, 15 West 63rd Street
This very handsome, mid-block apartment tower, which was built in 2000, is a significant new component of the west skyline of Central Park.
Designed by Beyer Blinder Belle and Costas Kondylis, it has a nicely detailed red-brick façade with white detailing that enhances the vistas of the Upper West Side from Central Park as it partially blocks views of a very large, beige-brick apartment building just to the west of it on the same block.
The 40-story tower has 53 condominium apartments ranging in size from two- to four-bedrooms.
The building is adjacent to the McBurney School and it incorporates and preserves its landmarked, Romanesque-style façade and has a limestone garden entrance. Its apartments start at the 12th floor.
The asymmetrical tower has a handsome pyramidal top and its façade is accented with white stringcourses and bandcourses.
Many apartments have stunning views to the east of Central Park.
The building offers a fitness center, a children's playroom, a bicycle and carriage room on the first floor, and a concierge.
The building, which has some terraces, is very close to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and this neighborhood has excellent shopping, many restaurants and good public transportation.
