220 Park Place is two 1880s row houses on one of Prospect Heights' landmarked blocks, converted as a pair into seven condominium residences. A developer bought both houses from a single long-term owner in 2014. The current sponsor, 218-220 Park Place LLC, acquired them in 2016, emptied and rebuilt them behind their historic fronts, and sold every residence between July 2020 and April 2021. There is no sponsor inventory and there are no rental units.
The structure is unusual for its size. Each house is a separate condominium with its own declaration, tax lots and board. In practice the two operate as one property, with a shared front courtyard and a single elevator, and recorded easements tie them together. A buyer at 1E and a buyer at 1W sit in different condominiums while sharing the entry and the lift. We cover both on one page because they were built, marketed and sold as one development.
Architecture and unit composition
LPC dates 220 to about 1884. It was designed by Walter M. Coots for the builder John V. Porter, in brick and stone in the neo-Grec style with Queen Anne touches. 218, about 1881, is Porter's own design: a brownstone that mixes Italianate, neo-Grec and Second Empire elements. The conversion removed a deteriorated two-story rear addition, added a rear horizontal extension, and replaced joists throughout, per DOB filings. It produced one residence per floor on the east side (1E–4E, with 4E a duplex) and three on the west (1W–3W). Listing records describe white oak floors, multi-zone heating and cooling and a virtual doorman system.
Building operations
Certificate of occupancy: check it first. 218 Park Place received a final certificate of occupancy for three units on August 4, 2026. 220 Park Place has operated on a temporary certificate since February 2021, renewed roughly every three months. The most recent renewal on DOB's record is dated June 25, 2026. Some lenders will not finance a unit that has only a temporary certificate, and a temporary certificate that lapses creates problems for insurance and resale. Confirm current status before signing.
A 2024 recording. In December 2024 the sponsor entity recorded a declaration-type document against all seven units. We have not read it. Buyers should have counsel pull it, along with the 2017 and 2021 easements, to understand how the two condominiums share the elevator, courtyard and their costs.
Taxes. Neither condominium carries an abatement: no 421-a or J-51 benefit appears on the Department of Finance roll for any unit. Taxes have been unabated from the first closings, so there is no scheduled phase-out to model.

What to know if you’re buying
Know which condominium you are buying into. East-side units are 220 Park Place Condominium; west-side units are 218. Get the budget, reserves and bylaws for the right one, plus the cost-sharing terms for the shared elements.
Resolve the certificate of occupancy before contract. Ask for the final certificate at 220 or a documented timeline, and confirm your lender's position.
Landmarks apply. Windows, the front courtyard, rooftop additions and any façade work go through LPC.
Governance is small. Four or three owners make up each board. Expect decisions to be informal and assessments to fall on few shoulders.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
