Overview of CPW Towers at 400 Central Park West

400 Central Park West, known as CPW Towers, is a distinguished post-war condominium designed by renowned architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in the International Style. Completed in 1960, the red-brick slab tower was developed by Webb & Knapp and the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) as part of the larger Park West Village complex, which was one of the city's most significant urban renewal projects of its era.

The building offers a range of residences from alcove studios to two-bedroom units, many featuring private balconies and impressive views of Central Park and the city skyline. Units typically feature hardwood floors, ample closet space, and many have been modernized with contemporary finishes and open-concept layouts. The building is notable for its relatively low monthly charges while maintaining full-service amenities.

Residents enjoy comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman service, a fitness center, children's playroom, bike room, parking garage, and central laundry facilities. The building is set within landscaped grounds featuring courtyards and gardens, maintained by a live-in superintendent and resident manager. Its location directly across from Central Park offers easy access to the Columbus Square retail complex, with Whole Foods, Target, and various other retailers nearby, while multiple subway lines and bus routes provide convenient transportation options.
