15 Central Park West is a condominium building located at the corner of West 61st Street and Central Park West in New York City. Construction started in 2005 and was completed in 2008, costing a total of $950 million (equivalent to $1.10 billion in 2015). The building was designed in a New Classical style by Robert A. M. Stern.
The building was constructed by developers Arthur and William Lie Zeckendorf of Zeckendorf Development, grandsons of real estate developer William Zeckendorf, in partnership with Goldman Sachs and Eyal Ofer's Global Holdings Inc. Ofer also owns the Altria Building, 18 Gramercy Park, and a new luxury residential tower at 50 United Nations Plaza, which was completed in 2014. 15 Central Park West is considered by some to be one of New York's most prestigious residential addresses. The location, described as "the most expensive site in Manhattan," (purchased for $401 million in 2004, equivalent to $530 million in 2015) comprises an entire, albeit small, city block on Central Park West, formerly occupied by the somewhat dilapidated Mayflower Hotel (a 1926 Neo-Renaissance building designed by the architect Emery Roth) and a vacant lot.
As per Robert A. M. Stern's designs, 15 CPW is divided into two sections, a 19-story tower on Central Park West known as "the house" and a 35-story tower on Broadway, joined by a glass-enclosed lobby. It includes such amenities as a private driveway to screen residents from paparazzi, a cinema with 20 seats and 14,000-square-foot (1,300 m2) fitness center which has a 75-foot (22.86 m) swimming pool.
