The San Remo is a 27-story cooperative apartment building occupying 145 and 146 Central Park West on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, designed by architect Emery Roth and completed in 1930. Rising 122 meters, it features a distinctive form comprising a 17-story limestone and brick base surrounding an internal courtyard, topped by twin towers clad in light brick with terracotta ornamentation and capped with temple-like structures featuring round colonnades and lanterns. The facade's lower stories showcase rusticated limestone blocks with two ground-level entrances, while setbacks between the 14th and 17th stories serve as terraces. Interiors feature twin lobbies with terrazzo, marble, and molded plaster ceilings; the originally 122 apartments contain six to sixteen rooms arranged around central galleries. When completed, the San Remo was the first building on Central Park West to incorporate large twin towers. Designated a New York City landmark and contributing property to the Central Park West Historic District, the building has undergone multiple renovations since its conversion to a housing cooperative in 1972.
