The Parc Vendome is one of Midtown West's great Jazz Age survivors — a complex of four mid-block prewar buildings designed by Farrar & Watmough for developer Henry Mandel and completed around 1931. Mandel, one of New York's most ambitious 1920s builders (and the developer of Chelsea's London Terrace, by the same architects), conceived the Parc Vendome as world-class living: 600-plus apartments arranged around a large formal garden, with high beamed ceilings, arched openings, oak plank floors, and wood-burning fireplaces. It was a spectacular gamble — and Mandel overextended financing it during the Depression, filing for bankruptcy in 1932, a classic arc of the era.
The building's defining feature is that garden: an award-winning, English-style landscaped courtyard with a central fountain that the four buildings enclose and protect from the street. In a district where mid-block light and quiet are scarce, a private formal garden of this scale is a genuine rarity and the building's signature. Converted to condominiums in 1983, the Parc Vendome today combines prewar character, a deep club-style amenity roster, condominium flexibility, and a location two blocks from Columbus Circle and Central Park.
Architecture and unit composition
The complex comprises four buildings: the two taller structures at 340 and 350 West 57th Street (approximately 19 stories) and the two shorter buildings at 333 and 353 West 56th Street (approximately 11 stories), together holding roughly 575 apartments. The facades are buff brick over limestone, with arched and multi-paned windows and copper mansard roofs carrying carved lion's-head ornament.
Inside, the stock is predominantly studios and one-bedrooms, but the range extends to large combined units, multi-bedroom layouts, and penthouses. Studios and one-bedrooms frequently include sleeping alcoves and dressing rooms; larger apartments offer formal dining rooms, libraries, split-bedroom layouts, and wood-burning fireplaces. The prewar bones — high ceilings, thick walls, and generous proportions — are the interior selling point.
Building operations
The Parc Vendome operates as a full-service prewar condominium with a distinctly club-like amenity set. Each address carries full-time door attendants; the complex adds concierge service, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, two rooftop sundecks, a billiards room, a library, a music room, and a card room, plus a private dining/banquet room with a catering kitchen — a roster that reflects the building's grand original ambitions. The landscaped garden courtyard, with its fountain and tea-garden seating, anchors the complex.
The building is pet-friendly, permitting up to two pets per apartment. Confirm the current pet policy, any sublet application procedure, and the parking/valet arrangements with the managing agent during due diligence.

The Parc Vendome trades as an accessible entry into prewar full-service condominium living steps from Central Park and Columbus Circle. Recent closed pricing has clustered broadly around $1,250–$1,310 per square foot, with renovated and higher-floor apartments reaching toward the higher end of that range and asking inventory generally a touch below recent-sale averages. Studios and one-bedrooms form the core of the market; larger combinations and fireplace units command premiums for scarcity and character.

What to know if you’re buying
The garden is the differentiator. The private landscaped courtyard is the building's signature and a rarity in Midtown West. Garden-facing apartments trade the trade-off of avenue light for quiet and greenery — decide which you value and view the exposure in person.
Prewar character is real. High ceilings, arched detail, oak floors, and wood-burning fireplaces distinguish the stock from newer glass towers. Confirm the fireplace status and any renovation history for your specific apartment.
Condominium flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre and investor ownership are permitted, subletting is allowed, and financing is straightforward — advantages over the neighborhood's more restrictive prewar cooperatives.
Confirm the amenity and pet rules. The building permits up to two pets per unit and carries a deep club-style amenity set. Confirm current house rules and any amenity fees during due diligence.
Model the full carry. Run common charges, taxes, utilities, and any parking or amenity fees together. Use the calculators below.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the garden and the prewar bones. The landscaped courtyard, the club-style amenities, and the fireplace-and-high-ceiling character are the differentiators against newer product. Marketing that treats it as generic inventory undersells it.
Condition and character drive price. Renovated apartments that preserve prewar detail clear best; dated units require sharper pricing.
Emphasize condominium flexibility. Against the neighborhood's prewar co-ops, the Parc Vendome's condominium structure — pied-à-terre, sublet, and financing flexibility — is a real marketing advantage.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing is typical.
