Overview of The St. Urban at 285 Central Park West

The St. Urban is located at 285 Central Park West.

Built in 1906 and designed by Robert S. Lyons, the St. Urban's residences feature spacious rooms, tall ceilings, rich mahogany and quarter-sawn oak finishes, libraries, foyers, grand dining rooms, large kitchens and a unique, first-of-its-kind central refrigeration system providing each apartment with a private chiller. Many large bay windows, usually located in the living rooms, offer views of Central Park and most units have wine cellars and maids’ quarters; several of the upper-floor apartments also have working fireplaces.

285 Central Park West has been renovated over the past few years, with its roof and exterior recently undergoing a major restoration. The St. Urban’s amenities include a 24-hour doorman, a gym with a full-sized indoor basketball court and bicycle storage. It is close to Central Park, shops and restaurants and the American Museum of Natural History.

Carter’s Review

"One of the city's grand Beaux-Arts structures, the St. Urban at 285 Central Park West on the southwest corner at 89th Street is an exuberantly designed apartment house of great distinction.

Although it is very flamboyant and almost too robust in its assertive embellishments, it is truly one of the city's most spectacular residential properties."

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
