## Property Overview

Be sure to watch the video for additional context.

 The Dakota is the crown jewel among the most extraordinary residences of Central Park West. It's the most storied residential building in New York's long history. The late 1870s was a time of burgeoning prosperity. A post-war boom saw the proliferation of Mansion and Townhouse living for the affluent; it was a representation of status. It was then that Edward Cabot Clark, architect of the Singer Sewing Machine Company fortune, conceived of an apartment house to be built, as an alternative, for precisely those affluent who preferred not manage the responsibilities of caring for a
 house. His vision was to preserve the aspirational and distinctive way of life characterized by sophistication, exquisite taste, privacy, pleasure and service for those accustomed. This was to be a house of a different kind.

 Clark commissioned Henry Janeway Hardenbergh to design what would become the most magnificent residence in all of Manhattan. A "genteel fortress" as it was once described, monumental in scale yet with the intimacy of home. A fortress in that it was built with nearly 4 foot thick walls at its base, tapering to approximately 2 feet at the roof line. The breadth of the floors, made of thick layers of massive timber, earth and mortar provide an energy of stillness and peace. The facade possesses an eclectic mix of steep gables, oriel windows, dormers, cupolas, finials and the nostalgic gas lanterns. As you pass through the elaborate iron gates you're transported to a private open air garden court. Together this remarkable assemblage of features has made it difficult to pinpoint an exact style, which has been described in prior writings as a mix between German and French Renaissance styles, even as Victorian Chateau, Victorian Kremlin, Brewery Brick, Pseudo-Gothic and Middle European Post Office. No two apartments are structurally the same.

 Within, we find residence 56; at approximately 4,500 sqft, it's one of the largest natural layouts within the entire house. Upon entering the home, not only do you see the grandeur of Hardenbergh's unique design, you feel it. You feel the elegance, the history, the stories. You observe the artisanship and the elegance of a past architectural time. You're struck by the 12.5' ceilings, balanced by a scale and proportion that must be experienced, the 10' foot mahogany doors and the seductive passage ways, the stately corner living room; which is adjoined by a warm and inviting parlour. Together they comprise a 46' living expanse; you can just imagine imagine the social gatherings and events. Rivaling the living room is the grand dining room, quite unlike anything you see today. This home further provides 4 to 5 voluminous bedrooms and additional chambers that can be used as a library, media room, game room whatever your needs require. The residence showcases exquisite handcrafted woodwork and custom paneling, refined crown moldings that frame the rooms with quiet grandeur. Expansive, light-filled windows, bordered by classic shutters, enhance the sense of space and grace. Discreetly placed sliding pocket doors preserve both flow and privacy, while gracefully appointed functioning fireplaces serve as warm focal points. Ample closets and generous built-in storage reflect thoughtful 19th-century practicality, while the spacious eat-in kitchen lends to the tradition of comfort and hospitality that defines this enduringly elegant home.

 Constructed between 1880-1884, the lore of The Dakota captivates all of us. At the time, with the center of the city's activity some 50 blocks south, Clark's concept was considered bold and risky, as opposed to pioneering. Clark proved everyone wrong and the building was an immediate and eminent success.

 Each generation experiences a sense of pride in their preservation and stewardship. Like no other, The Dakota established itself among the most renowned and recognizable residences in the world. It's unrivaled in its singularity, rich history, celebrated occupants and the architectural significance which remain to this day. It was built to last...timeless. This is a home that truly captures everything you had imagined. It lives up to its legend.

 Clark, whose own apartment was said to have been designed with sterling silver inlaid floors, passed in 1882, two years prior to its completion, Hardenbergh, would go on to design The Plaza Hotel.

 The Dakota offers full-time doormen and concierge service, a fitness center and private storage. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the buyer.

## Buying in a new development?

Before you visit the sales gallery, understand the broker registration rule. In many buildings the sponsor will only compensate a buyer’s broker who accompanied you on your first visit or registered you in writing beforehand. The sales team you meet at the door works for the developer, and once you have toured on your own that introduction is very hard to undo.

## Estimated Monthly Payment

**$65,761 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($1,992,500), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term. The page's calculator lets a buyer change all three.

Based on co-op four-bedroom sales in Upper West Side.

Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 48 sales (40%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Upper West Side instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 95.5% (42 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 74% (42 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 89 days (43 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 98 days (43 sales)

Based on co-op four-bedroom sales in Upper West Side with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through July 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

## This is a new development purchase

Buying from a sponsor carries closing costs a resale does not. The New York City and New York State transfer taxes are the seller’s in a resale and are passed to the purchaser in most offering plans, and the sponsor’s attorney fee and any working capital contribution sit on top of that. Together they commonly add 2% or more of the purchase price.
