The Parc Vendome is a distinctive pre-war condominium two blocks from Central Park and within walking distance of the city's famous sites including the Russian Tea Room, historic Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Central Park and the Theater District, not to mention the world-famous shops, restaurants, clubs and galleries of the new 42nd Street Re-development. The renaissance of the "NEW COLUMBUS CIRCLE" & The new AOL Center has just enhanced the developing West 56th & West 57th Street location. The Parc Vendome's convenient and exciting neighborhood leads one to immediately recognize the property's appreciating value as a residential complex in the center of extraordinary growth. The Parc Vendome now overlooks the new "Balsey Park" on 9th Avenue, the re-developed chic Hudson Hotel and the highly acclaimed $56 million Alvin Ailey Dance Center.; the largest dance facility in the U.S. Across from the Parc Vendome we now have the "NEW COLUMBUS CENTER" a building that promises to visually realign Columbus Circle and to reconnect the circle to the geometric street grid of Broadway's partner 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue. In what is the most ambitious project since Rockefeller Center; the massive 2.7 million square foot, multi-use complex houses media giant Time Warner, a Mandarin Oriental hotel, six world class restaurants, Jazz at Lincoln Center and 191 condominiums where prices start at $1.5 million. Developers of the Time Warner Center have achieved nearly $300 million for 10 of its penthouse condos. The "NEW COLUMBUS CENTER" has twin glass and steel towers, skewed to Broadway's axis, rising above a base that follows Columbus Circle's arc. This is a media hub and houses Jazz at Lincoln Center and extends Lincoln Center's cultural hegemony southward and eastward. The complex provides $2,000 per square foot condominium homes, parking and an enormous amount of retail space and a hotel. If it were built out on the open plains somewhere, Columbus Center would be in effect, a city in itself. All of this powerful density is the Parc Vendome's new neighbor reinforcing the value of having a residence only a block away in our pre-war complex of quiet elegance. Yet another new impressive development is "THE PARK IMPERIAL", a new 70 story tower with 111 luxurious condominium residences starting at the 48th floor atop Bertelsmann's new Random House headquarters. THE PARK IMPERIAL is anchored by New York City landmarks that include Central Park, Carnegie Hall, The Parc Vendome and Columbus Circle. The Park Imperial occupies the entire block front located on West 56th Street and Broadway, at the crossroads of Manhattan, where the business, entertainment, cultural, retail and residential worlds of New York intersect. Reflecting the strong demand on Columbus Circle both for luxury housing and for new office space, the PARK IMPERIAL TOWER contains the new headquarters for Random House on its lower level and is 630 feet high, about the same height as the 50 story office tower nearby at 9 West 57th Street. The new building's 26 story commercial component will house 650,000 square feet of offices for Random House, a division of Bertelsmann A.G., the German media giant. The mix of residential and office uses is ideal for the neighborhood, given the emergence of Broadway in the 40's and 50's as an entertainment, media and corporate corridor. Finally a new 800,000 square foot home for the Hearst Corp. is the latest Tower to be built 1/2 block from the Parc Vendome on top of the original site and completes the new skyline of W. 56th Street and W. 57th Street and 8th Avenue. The Parc Vendome homes offer dramatic per-war living space with one bedrooms starting at 800 square feet and going up to 1,200 square feet! Studios start at 512 square feet and go up to approximately 650 square feet with open foyers and huge closets and alcoves. Just imagine yourself picking out your favorite evening ware from the spaciously abundant closets as you get ready for a night in the city that never sleeps. Even if you don't feel like stepping out onto the town, you can enjoy Parc Vendome's accommodations. Walk through its magnificent private garden, or go shopping at one of the many W. 57th Street & 5th Ave shops. The Parc Vendome's amenities offer the opportunity to play Billiards, Backgammon, Cards in the club room, a book from the Library or just sit back and enjoy the piano in the Music Room. The Parc Vendome is secure twenty-four hours a day with doormen on duty in each of the four lobbies.

New Yorkers search the city looking at apartments but arrive at the Parc Vendome to find a Home! Mr. McDonagh has been an owner and an "on site" broker servicing The Parc Vendome for the past twenty years; having sold more apartments in the condominium complex than all other brokers combined. To date Thomas has sold over three hundred and sixty-six Parc Vendome condominiums. He also has over twenty-five years experience selling New York City investment properties. His success in selling the Parc Vendome condominiums can be attributed to his on site presence and to the fact that he has made The Parc Vendome his home since 1987. " The Parc Vendome is my only building and therefore has my full attention. "I have a very vested interest in taking care of my fellow owners and their homes and investment in this great building".
