At a glance
Character
The gateway between Midtown and the Upper West Side at the southwest corner of Central Park — landmark mixed-use towers, park views, and a major transit hub at the circle.
Typical tenant
Media and entertainment companies, financial firms, and corporate headquarters — tenants that value a prestige park-front address, modern towers, and central transit.
Building stock
A compact set of modern trophy and Class A towers — large, efficient floorplates, high finishes, and Central Park exposures — among older stock along the avenues. Premium space is tightly held.
Rent posture
Toward the top of Midtown: park-view trophy floors command premium rents, with the broader district nearer the Midtown average. (Current market data, Q1 2026.)
