101 Central Park West stands as one of the Upper East Side's most prestigious prewar cooperatives, designed by the renowned architectural firm Schwartz & Gross and completed in 1929. Developed by Abraham Bricken, this distinguished 17 story red brick building spans an entire city block between 70th and 71st Streets, featuring an elegant two story limestone base with handsome window surrounds and three story stone pilasters near the building's corners. The building was converted to a co-op in 1953 and houses 96 apartments, attracting notable residents including Harrison Ford, Georgina Bloomberg (daughter of former mayor Michael Bloomberg), and Peter Briger (founder and co-chair of Fortress Investment Group).
The building exemplifies white glove service with 24 hour doormen, a concierge, resident manager, and elevator operators across two elevator wings. Residents enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, private storage bins, and pet friendly policies. The cooperative allows financing up to 50% and considers pied-à-terre applications on a case by case basis, though some restrictions may apply. The building offers prime front row seats to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, adding to its unique appeal.
Most apartments feature classic prewar details including wood burning fireplaces, soaring high ceilings, and herringbone floors. Many units boast spectacular Central Park views through oversized windows, with corner apartments particularly prized for their multiple exposures and grand proportions. Several apartments have been designed or renovated by notable architects and designers, including Annabelle Selldorf and Victoria Hagan, with some residences featured in Architectural Digest.
The building's prime location directly across from Central Park and just blocks from Lincoln Center provides residents with unparalleled access to the city's cultural offerings. Large apartments range from classic six configurations to sprawling duplexes exceeding 7,000 square feet, many featuring private terraces, multiple bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and sophisticated layouts ideal for both intimate living and grand scale entertaining. The combination of architectural distinction, white glove service, and coveted Central Park West address makes 101 Central Park West one of the most sought after residential buildings in New York City.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
