Central Park Place at 301 West 57th Street is a distinctive 55-story pale green aluminum-clad tower that stands as one of Manhattan's most recognizable mixed-use skyscrapers. Built in 1988 by the Zeckendorfs and designed by Davis, Brody & Associates, the building features 274 condominium apartments above seven commercial floors. The tower's most striking architectural feature is its signature five-sided bay windows that provide dramatic three-directional views, though the building's experimental pale green exterior color has drawn mixed reactions from architectural critics who noted it as the structure's most questionable design element.
Positioned strategically on the northwest corner of Eighth Avenue, Central Park Place offers spectacular unobstructed views of Central Park, Columbus Circle, and the Manhattan skyline. Despite being surrounded by major developments including the Time Warner Center and the renovated Hearst Building, the tower maintains its coveted park views. The location provides exceptional convenience, with residents enjoying walking distance to Central Park, Lincoln Center, the Theater District, and excellent public transportation access through Columbus Circle's major subway hub.
The building's apartments range from studios with 22-foot-long living rooms to impressive penthouses, with many units featuring the building's trademark oversized bay windows that extend more than 12 feet wide. Notable residences include penthouse units with private terraces on the 52nd floor offering panoramic views from New York Harbor to Central Park, and extensively renovated apartments with high-end finishes including Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, custom millwork, and spa-like bathrooms with features like chromotherapy lighting.
Central Park Place operates as a full-service condominium with 24-hour doorman and concierge services, an indoor swimming pool, fitness center with yoga and boxing rooms, sauna, massage facilities, and a landscaped outdoor terrace. The building also offers unique amenities including four private guest suites available for residents' visitors and bicycle storage. Notable residents have included Goldie Hawn and Robert Glaser, founder of RealNetworks, reflecting the building's appeal to entertainment industry figures and tech entrepreneurs.
