Building: Hampshire House

The Hampshire House is an architectural icon, which conveys the finest design elements of the post depression era. The Hampshire House is noted for its spectacular, steeply-pitched copper roof with two tall chimneys. This 37-story building was started in January, 1931, by its developer, the H. K. Ferguson Company of Cleveland, and completed in 1938 by Caughey & Evans. Initially a rental apartment building, it was converted to a Cooperative building in 1949. There are some terraces, a canopied entrance with a revolving door, a health club, a doorman and concierge, and an extensive list of amenities.

The Hampshire House is a brilliant combination of old world character, charm and elegance with the effortlessness, newness and conveniences offered by modern technology. A solid and resilient structure provides security, comfort, privacy and spaciousness. Location-wise, it really doesn’t get better than this. Located in the epicenter of Manhattan it is convenient to public transportation, shopping and restaurants and has the most spectacular views. It is located on Central Park South near the main entrance to the park – one of the most inspiring combinations of architecture, landscape design, and urban planning around the globe.

The building allows 50% financing.
