Central Park Place, 56-floor residential skyscraper in Manhattan, United States.
Central Park Place is a 56-story residential tower in Midtown Manhattan, rising about 587 feet (179 meters) above street level near Columbus Circle. The building is made of glass and concrete and contains many apartments spread across its upper and lower floors.
The building was designed by the architecture firm Davis Brody Bond and completed in 1988, during a decade when residential towers near Central Park multiplied rapidly. It is part of a broader transformation of the Midtown skyline that took place throughout the 1980s.
The building shows how Manhattan's wealthy residents moved closer to Central Park during the 1980s boom in luxury housing. Its glass and concrete design reflects the architectural tastes of that era.
The tower stands right at Columbus Circle, where several subway lines converge, making it easy to reach from most parts of Manhattan. Visitors exploring the area on foot will find Central Park and other Midtown landmarks within a short walking distance.
From the upper floors, residents can see both the full length of Central Park and the Hudson River at the same time, a combination that is rare even for Manhattan towers. This double view over green space and water makes the building stand out among its neighbors along the Columbus Circle corridor.
