Building: The Alden

The Alden: Pre-War Elegance on Central Park West

The Alden was designed as an apartment hotel by the renowned architect Emery Roth. The 15 story building was built in 1925, opened by Bing and Bing in 1926-1927 and it was converted into a cooperative in 1984. The historic Alden is a Landmarked Building, showcasing a spectacular lobby and white glove service with 24 hour doormen and concierge. The 250 apartments range in size from studios to 5 + bedrooms, with gracious floor plans and prewar details including high beamed ceilings.

The beautifully planted and furnished roof deck has panoramic views of Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir and stunning sunset views to the west. Amenities include a parking garage accessed from within the building, a bicycle room, a laundry room, and a lending library. Hallways were recently renovated and it has a resident management office and live-in superintendent. Pet-friendly for dogs of all sizes.

Located on the prime corner of Central Park West and 82nd Street, the Alden is near the Museum of Natural History, Central Park’s Great Lawn and the Belvedere Castle, the B/C subway and the cross town bus on the next block, and the finest Upper West Side restaurants and shopping.
