Building: 135 Central Park West

The Langham, located at 135 Central Park West on an entire block between 73-74th Street, is arguably the most magnificent and majestic rental building in New York City. The Langham offers over-scaled and beautifully detailed apartments, wrapped within a stunning a Beaux-Arts style building with French and Italian Renaissance elements. This full-service/white glove building also offers glorious views over Central Park.

The Langham was built in 1906 by Boehm and Coon and designed by renowned architects Charles W. Clinton & William Hamilton Russell, (known for many other pedigreed residential apartment buildings including the Apthorp at 2207 Broadway). The exterior façade is composed of brick, limestone, terra cotta, and ironwork. The pristine marbled lobby is columned and grand.

Owned by Langham Mansions, the building contains 54 units on 13 floors. These carefully restored (and modernized) apartments feature 11-foot high beamed ceilings and prewar details including: paneled libraries and formal dining rooms, and multiple fireplaces in some units. The building’s apartments are comprised of:
• 2 one-bedroom,
• 5 two-bedroom,
• 6 three-bedroom,
• 12 four-bedroom,
• 19 five-bedroom, and
• 10 six-bedroom residences
Amenities include full-time doorman and concierge, storage, and allows pets (on a case by case basis).

Its prime location along Central Park West makes The Langham extremely convenient to buses, subways and some of the best boutiques, restaurants and services that the Upper West Side has to offer along Columbus Avenue and West 72nd Street.
