Fifteen Central Park West
Central Park West is one of the city's most glamorous streets, both
architecturally and in terms of the mix of people who have been drawn to live
here over many years. With its almost continuous palisade of romantically
silhouetted apartment towers bounding Central Park, Manhattan's front lawn,
Central Park West is an internationally acknowledged archetype of Manhattan and
of modernity. Fifteen Central Park West is designed to complement its neighbors. The
nineteen-story House joins the palisade of park-facing apartment houses that
stretches for more than two miles along Central Park West. The thirty-five-story
Tower takes its place among the 1920s towers punctuating that palisade – the
Century, the Majestic, the San Remo, and the Eldorado – as well among as the
post-war towers that line Broadway to form a back range to the skyline. On the
west, shopfronts will participate in the active pedestrian life of the stretch
of Broadway between the great cultural anchors of Lincoln Center and Jazz at
Lincoln Center, now located at Columbus Circle. Fifteen Central Park West is completely clad in limestone, complementing the
light-toned brick and stone of the older towers and contrasting with the dark
reflections of the newer buildings around Columbus Circle. The warmth and
natural variation of limestone has made it the material of choice for New York's
most important buildings, those with the highest architectural ambitions, from
the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Frick Museum to the Empire State Building
to some of the great apartment houses like 998 Fifth Avenue and 740 Park Avenue;
no material takes the light more beautifully. The building’s Central Park West entrance, a canopied bronze door with a
double-height expression, leads into a vestibule and a grand lobby with two
fireplaces. The gated motor court off 61st Street brings residents and visitors
to a copper-roofed oval entry pavilion which links the House and the Tower. A
limestone fountain marks the center of the motor court and a pedestrian arcade
along its east edge screens a residents' library. A residents' dining room
spills out into a landscaped garden with a reflecting pool and fountain north of
the entrance pavilion. The reflecting pool acts as a skylight over the
seventy-five-foot-long lap pool in the health club below. Other resident
amenities include a screening room and wine cellars.Paired elevator cores in the House and in the Tower open not to long
corridors but to vestibules that typically serve only two apartments. The 202
apartments, which range from one-bedroom to four-bedroom homes, are designed for
families, with family rooms and kitchens scaled for entertaining. The
traditional masonry expression of the exterior accommodates large windows that,
together with projecting bays, French balconies, and deep terraces at the
setbacks, fill the residences with natural light and open the rooms to views in
all directions.
