Renovation scope and timeline

Management confirmed the project will focus on repairing the landmark-protected exterior overlooking Central Park. The work is expected to last approximately four years before reopening.

Historical preservation requirements

The building received landmark status from the city in 1969. A 2006 agreement requires significant restoration of interior spaces and the roof alongside the façade work.

Impact on residents unclear

It is not yet known how the closure will affect owners of the 181 luxury condominium units. A lead broker stated he does not expect much impact on current residents.
