240 Central Park South, Residential tower at Central Park South, Manhattan, United States
240 Central Park South is a 28-story residential tower completed in 1940 with 310 units and direct access to Columbus Circle. The C-shaped structure combines a tall section facing the park with a lower wing on 58th Street, creating a distinctive architectural presence.
Architects Albert Mayer and Julian Whittlesey designed this Art Deco and Classical Modern building in 1940 for the J.H. Taylor Construction Company. The project was completed during an era when such residential complexes shaped Manhattan's landscape near Central Park.
The building houses the Michelin-starred restaurant Marea, which has become a culinary destination in the neighborhood. It serves as a gathering place for those seeking fine dining near one of the city's most prestigious addresses.
The building offers residents a 24-hour concierge service, fitness center, rooftop deck, and storage areas for personal belongings. The location directly adjacent to Columbus Circle makes it easy to access public transportation and explore the surrounding neighborhood.
The building displays an unusual asymmetrical C-shaped design that allows it to maximize park views while respecting the street grid. This deliberately irregular form is more noticeable when viewed from different angles around the park and 58th Street intersection.
