Upper West Side Luxury Condos

Designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and completed in 2004, the Deutsche Bank Center is located at 80 Columbus Circle on the Upper West Side.

Much of what has drawn eager buyers is the Deutsche Bank Center’s premier location. It offers more than geography, though, as residents enjoy elegantly designed spaces with first-rate finishes and premium appliances.

Deutsche Bank Center amenities include a screening room, party rooms, a children's playroom, an in-house garage with valet parking, a chauffeur's lounge. Residents also enjoy access to such Mandarin Oriental Hotel conveniences as in-room-dining, housekeeping and laundry services, Zen-like spa treatments, state-of-the-art-fitness center, 75' indoor pool, cutting edge cuisine, valet service, and concierge service daily. In addition to 198 apartments, the twin 750-foot towers house the 250-room, five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the Jazz at Lincoln Center performance space.

Deustche Bank Center is also occupied by a multi-story galleria called the Shops at Columbus Center with many restaurants and retailers, including Masa, Per Se, Ascent Lounge, Porter House, L’Occitane, Hugo Boss, and Whole Foods.

279 Central Park West is a 23-story boutique condominium built in 1988 and designed by acclaimed architect Costas Kondylis. The building stands out as one of the few buildings in New York City to feature curved glass corner windows, which take full advantage of its spectacular Central Park views. Rising from a three-story rusticated limestone base, the building's asymmetrical silhouette was shaped by the city's contextual zoning requirements of the 1980s, creating distinctive setbacks above the traditional 15-story building wall height along Central Park West.

With only 38 apartments, the building offers an exceptionally exclusive living experience, with many units configured as duplexes and several penthouses. The apartments commonly feature bay windows, windowed kitchens with high-end appliances (Sub-Zero, Miele, Wolf), marble bathrooms, custom millwork, and central air conditioning. The crown jewel is a 6,713-square-foot duplex penthouse with 360-degree views and wrap-around terraces spanning two floors. Corner units are particularly coveted for their sweeping Central Park vistas, with some apartments offering views from every room.

The building provides full-service amenities including 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor children's playrooms, private storage, and bike storage. Located at the corner of 88th Street, residents enjoy prime access to Central Park directly across the street, proximity to the American Museum of Natural History, and convenient transportation via the nearby 86th Street B/C subway station. The building was constructed on the former site of the exclusive Progress Club, a Jewish men's club designed in 1904.

Jazz legend Miles Davis was among the notable residents who called this distinguished address home. Buyers should note that the building requires a 2.5% capital reserve contribution at closing, reflecting the building's commitment to maintaining its high standards and exclusive character.

The Park Laurel at 15 West 63rd Street is a distinctive 41-story condominium tower completed in 2000, designed by Beyer Blinder Belle and Costas Kondylis for developers Vornado Realty Trust and David Edelstein. The building's most striking feature is its large, stepped pyramidal top that makes it highly visible from Central Park. Built above and adjacent to the historic West Side YMCA, the tower preserves the landmark Romanesque-style façade of the former McBurney School while incorporating it into the modern structure. The light red brick was specifically chosen to harmonize with the neighboring YMCA building, creating an architecturally cohesive streetscape.

The building houses 56 luxury condominium apartments spanning floors 14 through 40, with nearly all units offering sweeping Central Park views. Apartments range from two to four bedrooms, with sizes varying dramatically from 1,309 square feet to over 7,000 square feet for full-floor units. Notable residences include a Charles Gwathmey-designed penthouse duplex with 360-degree views and 20-foot ceilings, and several full-floor apartments featuring expansive terraces overlooking Central Park. Common luxury finishes throughout the building include Calacatta Gold marble bathrooms, premium appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, and Thermador, herringbone hardwood floors, and individual climate controls.

The development faced significant controversy during its 15-year planning process, with notable opponents including Madonna and other prominent residents who argued the tower would overwhelm the neighborhood. The project ultimately moved forward using inclusionary housing zoning, which allowed additional density in exchange for preserving affordable housing units. This air-rights development not only created the luxury tower but also expanded the historic YMCA facilities.

The Park Laurel offers white-glove service with 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, children's playroom, and bicycle storage. Its prime location provides immediate access to Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Columbus Circle, making it one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses for those seeking luxury living with unparalleled park views and cultural amenities.

In 2003, the Athena Group, led by Louis Dubin, transformed the building into a boutique luxury condominium, adding four floors to the original eight-story structure under the direction of renowned architect Costas Kondylis.

The conversion created 32 luxury residences ranging from 1,600 to 6,151 square feet, featuring loft-style layouts with high ceilings, Brazilian hardwood floors, and private keyed elevator access.
