400 Central Park West is the northeasternmost of the four CPW Park West Village slab towers and was the latest of the complex's conversions to condominium (1991, four years after The Vaux's 1987 conversion and six years after The Olmsted's 1985 conversion). Per public records: "The attractive, red-brick slab apartment tower at 400 Central Park West at 100th Street is the northeast building of the original Park West Village quadrangle that stretches down to 97th Street."
At 413 apartments, it holds the largest unit count of the four CPW Park West Village towers, and that scale sustains a comprehensive amenity infrastructure — 24-hour doorman, fitness center, children's playroom, bike room, parking garage, and grounds shared with the rest of Park West Village. Those immaculately landscaped grounds, with their shade trees, strolling areas, and dedicated children's play spaces, are the connective tissue of the place: the four-tower complex organizes around a single large central green.
Architecture and unit composition
Per public records: "The attractive, red-brick slab apartment tower at 400 Central Park West at 100th Street is the northeast building of the original Park West Village quadrangle that stretches down to 97th Street."Architectural records note that 400 CPW is just to the east and slightly north of 392 CPW; neither building has a formal name, while the two south buildings (372 and 382 CPW) "are known, respectively, as The Vaux and The Olmsted, and are named after the designers of Central Park, Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted."
For complete development history, see the 372 Central Park West (The Vaux) and 382 Central Park West (The Olmsted) profiles.
The four-tower CPW grouping organizes around a large landscaped central green space — what Le Corbusier would have recognized as the "tower in a park" prototype, executed at residential scale by SOM, the firm that also delivered Manhattan House on the Upper East Side and Lever House on Park Avenue.
The 413 apartments distribute across the building's 19 floors. The building offers studios, one-, and two-bedroom units, "many featuring private balconies and impressive views of Central Park and the city skyline."
