Central Park South
The Essex House, a JW Marriott Hotel
The residences
- The name licensed to this project and carried on the building. A brand is not a company: it holds no title, builds nothing and runs nothing.
- JW Marriott
- The business the brand comes from — hotel, fashion, design, automotive, restaurant, club, or a developer’s own name.
- Hotel
- How many separately titled homes this project sells, counting every kind it sells. Where it sells more than one kind, each is named and its own count given.
- 185
- The kinds of home offered — villas, condos, penthouses, lots — and how they break down. Not how many, and not what interest is sold.
- Studios to three-bedroom homes
- The interest a buyer takes: whole ownership, a share of one residence, or a right to use it.
- Whole ownership
- Whether a hotel shares the site, the building is mixed-use, or it is residences only.
- Hotel on site
- When its residences were first released for sale.
- No opened page states when the residences were first offered.
- When the residences were handed over to buyers.
- 1974

- not foundNo opened page names the developer of the 1974 residential conversion.
