The Centra is a 14 story post-war rental in Turtle Bay, designed by Horace Ginsbern and completed in 1963. Its 164 apartments occupy a white brick, mid-block building whose uppermost three floors are angled and partially set back. Broad horizontal window bands define the central façade, while the top floor units open to angled balconies.
The apartment plans commonly use enclosed kitchens, from studios to larger three and four bedroom layouts. Southern exposures and hardwood floors recur, while corner apartments and the setback upper floors account for some of the building’s more expansive configurations and private outdoor space.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, concierge service, a live-in superintendent, laundry and mail rooms, a fitness center, and a lounge with a bar and game area. A landscaped rooftop terrace provides additional outdoor space, and pets are permitted. The 4, 5, 6 and 7 trains stop at Grand Central 42nd Street a few blocks west, while the United Nations complex is to the east along First Avenue.
