360 Central Park West is a 16-story apartment building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. Designed by Rosario Candela, it is a contributing property to the Central Park West Historic District.

History

[edit]

In 1930 Prudence-Bonds Corporation issued $1.4 million (equivalent to $26,982,072 in 2025) in Prudence Certificates covering the first mortgage by the Second Presbyterian Church and Vinross Realities Inc.[2] The church was demolished in 1928 to make way for the apartment building, which includes the congregation's present church.[3]

By the end of the 20th century, the building's developers started to merge small unit apartments to create villa-style penthouses.[4]
