Central Park Place

Central Park Place is a residential condominium building in Midtown Manhattan in New York City. The building is at 301 West 57th Street, at the northwest corner with Eighth Avenue. Davis Brody Bond designed Central Park Place, which is 628 feet tall with 56 stories. Central Park Place's facade is made of gray-green glass and aluminum panels, a color scheme intended to associate the building with the nearby Central Park.

Central Park Place was developed by William Zeckendorf Jr., who started acquiring land for the building in 1982. Initially, the tower was planned as a mixed-use development with office space and 310 apartments. After construction costs increased, Zeckendorf changed the plans to modify the number of apartments in the development, and split off the office component into another project. There were several controversies during the tower's construction, including an incident in which a pedestrian was killed by debris. Central Park Place was completed in 1988, and within two years, was almost fully occupied.
