Anbau Enterprises Inc. has started sales of cooperative apartments at 110 Central Park South, which was formerly the Inter-Continental Hotel.
The conversion plans, which were recently accepted by the New York State Attorney General's office, permit buyers to sell or sublet without board approval much like a condominium.
The elegant, 26-story, limestone-clad building was designed by J. E. R. Carpenter, one of the city's premier architects of luxury apartment buildings. It was erected by Samuel Minskoff in the late 1920s as the Navarro with 118 hotel-apartments. In the 1880s, Jose de Navarro built eight connected buildings, 10 stories high, that were known as the Navarro Flats that included the present site as well as those now occupied by Essex House, Hampshire House and the New York Athletic Club. Eventually this site was occupied by the Deutscher Verein, a German social group housed in a palazzo-style structure designed by McKim, Mead & White. That building eventually became the Army & Navy Club until it was replaced by the present building.
One of the early residents of the building was Bennett Cerf, the publisher of the Modern Library and Random House. Other residents included Raymond Loewy, the industrial designer, and Earl Carroll, the nightclub impresario.
The $110 million conversion by Anbau Enterprises has added three floors to the building, which will have seven penthouses with some fireplaces and a total of 61 apartments. The principals of Anbau are Stephen L. Glasock and Barbara van Beuren, both architects.
Costas Kondylis is the architect for the conversion.
The building has a 24-hour doorman, concierge service, a second floor gym with breakfast far that opens to an exterior terrace, washers and dryers, Miele cooktops and ovens, Asko dishwashers, Viking refrigerators and wine coolers and valet parking.
The top two penthouses have been sold. A full-floor apartment on the 23rd floor is available for $13,350,000. According to Stacey Greenfield of The Sunshine Group Ltd., one-bedroom units start at $1,400,000, two-bedroom apartments start at $3,507,000 and three-bedroom apartments start at $4,500,000.
