Central Park South / Imperial
Somerset House
Somerset House is a 63-home, 11-storey exposed-concrete strata tower at 4105 Imperial Street on the south edge of Central Park. Public strata sources use a 1977 build year, while NWS554 was registered in June 1976 and some resale sources use 1976. Its indoor pool, exercise room, sauna, shared laundry and established landscaped grounds give it a very different proposition from newer glass towers, with document review focused on older concrete-building systems, non-rainscreen construction and the current status of reported upgrades.
