Walking into an upper-floor apartment at the 75-story CitySpire on West 56th Street, guests and residents are met with a light-filled space overlooking Central Park, the Hudson River, iconic Midtown buildings like the Chrysler and the Empire State buildings and downtown skyscrapers such as One World Trade Center. Designed by the late post-modernist architect Helmut Jahn, CitySpire has a distinctive dome that towers over the city — as well as a full suite of amenities, including an indoor pool with prime Manhattan views. Inspired by the architecture of nearby City Center, the building blends Art Deco architecture with modern design. “It is a stone building with a celebratory spirit,” Jahn said upon its completion in 1987. Steps from Central Park, Carnegie Hall, great restaurants and within walking distance to Broadway, the location is stellar,” says Julie Zelman, an agent with The Rothschild-Zelman Team at Engel & Völkers New York Real Estate, who has represented two 71st-floor units in the building.

CitySpire is a condominium located in Manhattan and the 10019 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Manhattan County attendance zone.

Neighborhood

Packed into two blocks from 6th Ave. to 8th, Central Park South is a neighborhood that plays host and neighbor to some of New York’s most iconic residences and businesses.

Proximity to Central Park is a big draw for residents. A lot of apartments for rent in this area are afforded views of the massive Manhattan green space, a rare sight among the bustling streets of the city. Central Park South is also a corridor to the retail mecca that is 5th Ave. and stores like Bergdorf Goodman, the Shops at Columbus Circle, and more.

Plenty of theatres and late-night talk show studios call the Central Park South section of Broadway home, making for an energetic nightlife scene aside from the selection of restaurants that are on offer. Bar Masa, Le Bernardin, and Per Se all offer some of the most exclusive dining in the city.
