100 Central Park South (Trump Parc East)

The building is a fourteen-story masonry apartment house of the late 1910s at the corner of Sixth Avenue, with retail at grade under a single commercial condominium unit that was never offered for sale. The original design credit has not survived into any record we can verify — not the Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey database, not the Department of Buildings' digital filing history, and not the offering plan — and we would rather say so than repeat an attribution we cannot support.

The 1997 offering ran to 81 residences on a stack numbered 2A through 14G with two penthouse units at the top, and the plan already recorded several vertical combinations across the 11th and 12th floors. Today's unit-lot count of 79 reflects further combination work. Layouts run small to mid-sized by Central Park South standards; the value spread inside the building is driven almost entirely by whether a line faces north into the park and how high it sits, with renovation condition a close second.

Because the plan's descriptive sections did not survive legibly in the copy on file, we do not publish room counts, square-foot schedules or line-by-line exposures here. Those belong to the individual apartment and should be confirmed from the current offering documents at diligence.

This is a small, service-light building. An attended lobby, elevators, a laundry room and a resident manager are the extent of what the condominium provides; there is no garage, no fitness facility and no pool. Common charges reflect that, and so does the building's operating posture — the running cost of a 79-unit prewar condominium with a single commercial unit at grade is a very different number from the cost of an amenitized tower on the same corridor, and buyers comparing the two should model the full monthly carry rather than the common charge alone.

Two operating facts from the documents on file are worth carrying into diligence. The plan amendments disclose required Local Law 11 facade work scheduled for 2020, which is the periodic exterior-inspection cycle every Manhattan building of this height must satisfy, and which on a century-old masonry facade is a recurring capital item rather than a one-time event. And the sponsor's retained apartments are unmortgaged rentals. Their common charges go into the condominium budget like everyone else's, and their real estate taxes are billed by the city to each unit separately — so the sponsor's common-charge payments are a concentrated source of building income. Review current collections and any sponsor arrears before you underwrite.

Ask the managing agent for the last two years of audited statements, current board minutes, the reserve position, the status of the facade cycle, and the current count of sponsor-held units. The last of those changes and matters more here than at most buildings.

We do not publish a policy stack we cannot support. The sections of the offering plan and by-laws that would establish the right of first refusal, transfer fee, subletting rules, pet policy, pied-à-terre position and washer/dryer permission are not legible in the copy on file in The Roebling Research Library, and no reliable secondary record substitutes for them.

What we can state: a board-adopted smoking policy bars smoking in every common area and on terraces and balconies while permitting it inside apartments; the building is a condominium rather than a cooperative, so there is no co-op board interview, though financing and ownership rules still need confirming in the declaration and bylaws; and the sponsor's retained units continue to be leased. Every other policy question should be put to the managing agent in writing before an offer is signed.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,803/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 3.9% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01011-7505; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

Verify the tax lot before you underwrite. The city's geocoder returns a unit lot for this address that has no PLUTO record. The building is block 1011, lot 7505. Comparables pulled against 1010117001 will be empty, and comparables pulled against 106 Central Park South are a different condominium.

Ask how many units the sponsor still holds. Thirteen as of the most recent amendment on file, rented and unmortgaged. That number drives the building's income concentration, the depth of its resale record, and how a lender views the project.

Get the policy stack in writing. The provisions we would normally publish here are not legible in the plan copy on file. Right of first refusal, sublet rules, pets, pied-à-terre and washer/dryer all need to come from the managing agent.

Price the view, not the address. The north-facing park lines and the interior lines are effectively two different buildings. Do not let a corridor-level price per square foot carry an interior apartment.

Budget for the facade cycle. A century-old masonry facade on a 14-story building is a recurring capital item. Ask where the building is in its inspection cycle and what the last cycle cost.

Mansion tax may apply. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.

Lead with the park, then the price point. A direct Central Park outlook at this altitude and this price is the building's whole proposition against the towers to the west.

Get ahead of the sponsor-rental question. A well-prepared buyer's attorney will find it. Having the current sponsor-unit count, the rent roll position and the board's history since 2001 ready is far better than being asked.

Have the documents assembled before you list. The plan copy in general circulation is poor. A seller who can produce clean current financials, minutes and house rules removes the single biggest source of buyer discount here.

Distinguish the building from its neighbour. Buyers and appraisers conflate 100 and 106 Central Park South constantly. They are separate condominiums with separate budgets and separate resale records, and the distinction is worth making explicitly in the listing materials.

If you're considering 100 Central Park South, also evaluate:

• Trump Parc (106 Central Park South) — the adjoining former Barbizon-Plaza tower; a separate, much larger condominium on the same block
• 112 Central Park South — prewar cooperative on the same blockfront
• 116 Central Park South — postwar condominium a few doors west
• 128 Central Park South — 1925 prewar cooperative on the same block
• Hampshire House (150 Central Park South) — the block's landmark-scale prewar cooperative
• Essex House (160 Central Park South) — condominium in the former hotel at the west end of the block
• 50 Central Park South — hotel-serviced condominium residences on the eastern stretch of the corridor
• 135 West 58th Street — small prewar building one block south, similar scale and service level
