110 Central Park S

In the late 1920s, two of the most prolific architects in New York City — Rosario Candela and James E. Carpenter — teamed up to create a residential hotel at 110 Central Park South (originally known as 112 Central Park South). It was a hotel for about 80 years, as an outpost of the Ritz-Carlton in the 1980s and 1990s and, later, as part of InterContinental Hotels & Resorts until it was converted into condos in the mid-aughts. “The entire building was gutted and redone, down to the studs,” says Joe Wagner, an agent at Douglas Elliman, adding that all the plumbing, electrical work and other systems were also updated. “But they kept the old-school design.” Costas Kondylis, the architect behind many Trump properties, helmed the redesign. The facade was renovated, and three floors of penthouses were added to bring the building to 29 stories. “It’s a boutique building that is quiet and discreet,” the agent says, noting that many of its high-net-worth residents don’t like the limelight. Central Park is literally on the doorstep of the building, with Columbus Circle just a few blocks west and Fifth Avenue to the east. “It’s a lifestyle building. You’re right on Central Park and so close to great restaurants and shopping,” Wagner says.
