Erected in 1930, this 19-story building features 139 rental apartments and is known for its bold vertical piers and setbacks, reminiscent of the nearby 55 Central Park West.

The apartments offer expansive views of Central Park, with some units featuring large foyers, hardwood floors, and ample closet space. The building's location within the Upper West Side's Historic District ensures a blend of architectural legacy and modern comfort, making it a desirable residence for those seeking both style and convenience.
