Description of 55 Central Park West
Designed by the renowned architects Schwartz and Gross, 55 Central Park West was built in 1929 and is landmarked and prominently featured on the National Register of Historic Places. Colloquially remembered as the 'Ghostbusters Building," the building's Art Deco exterior is distinguished by pointed finials and transitioning brick from a dark red to a yellow tone. The Art Deco lobby restoration was awarded the 2019 Stanford White Award for Historic Preservation from the Institute for Classical Architecture. It was also awarded an "A" for energy efficiency, having modernized its infrastructure with new heating, water, electrical, and fire systems, new elevators, and a co-generation plant.
Amenities include a superintendent, full-time door staff, furnished roof terrace with sun deck, wet bar, and vegetable garden, bicycle and playroom, laundry facility, individual storage (when available), and is pet and pied-a-terre friendly. The building is close to Lincoln Center (home to the world-famous Metropolitan Opera), Columbus Circle, Deutsche Bank Center, and several subway and bus lines.
