Overview of The Ardsley at 320 Central Park West


The Ardsley, a distinguished 22-story cooperative at 320 Central Park West, offers a full-service, white-glove living experience. The building features a restored Art Deco lobby and top-notch amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, a library, a children's playroom, a bike room, and storage lockers. While there is a communal laundry room, in-unit washer/dryers are permitted for added convenience. Pets and pied-a-terres are welcome in this pet-friendly building, perfectly situated across from Central Park and close to the Upper West Side’s finest restaurants, schools, museums, shops, and transportation.

Designed by the renowned architect Emery Roth, The Ardsley stands out for its unique Art Deco style, a departure from Roth’s previous works. Its bold design draws inspiration from a prehistoric Mayan temple, with no trace of historical styling. The building's buff brick surfaces are accented by striking vertical and horizontal bands of black brick that create a dynamic geometric pattern, giving the structure a powerful and original presence. Above the fifteenth floor, setbacks and cantilevered balconies culminate in a stepped-back water tower, contributing to an animated yet balanced profile.

Adding to its visual appeal is a zigzag cast-stone frieze with geometric patterns in four-color inlay at the base, and pink-tinted cast-stone door surrounds in curving geometric forms. While an early design included a lantern-like finial atop the water tank enclosure, the final structure forgoes this addition, allowing the building’s boxy composition and striped masonry to make a striking, original statement on its own.

In "The A.I.A. Guide to New York City," Elliot Willensky and Norval White noted the building’s façade as having "a quality almost like that of inlaid furniture," enriched by the contrasting brick ribbons on the upper floors. The Ardsley remains one of Central Park West’s most elaborately detailed and visually compelling Art Deco works.

Carter’s Review

"The Ardsley at 320 Central Park West between on the southwest corner at 92nd Street is one of the city’s greatest Art Deco residential buildings. 

It was designed by Emery Roth, the architect who also designed such famous landmarks on Central Park West as the San Remo, Beresford and Eldorado apartment towers. "

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "magnificent" 1931 Art Deco masterpiece by celebrated architect Emory Roth offers "amazing Central Park views" in a "family-oriented" neighborhood. The "well-managed" prewar cooperative features 169 apartments and maintains an "impeccably professional" staff, though the "moderate to strict" board can be "challenging" with approvals. Located amid "great restaurants" and "private schools," this "elegant" yet "unpretentious" building welcomes pets and provides a prime Upper East Side address.
