About 20 Park Avenue
This handsome, 19-story rental apartment building on the northwest corner at 35th Street and Park Avenue is one of several designed by Emery Roth in the Murray Hill neighborhood.
Roth is best known for the multi-towered "skyscraper palazzo" on Central Park West such as the San Remo and the Beresford and his firm would become one of the most prolific designers of office buildings after World War II.
The building has a full-time doorman and laundry room and is close to The Morgan Library on Madison Avenue at 36th Street and Grand Central Terminal.
The beige-brick building has a three-bedroom duplex penthouse with terraces and a canopied entrance. It was erected in 1939.
The building, which has sidewalk landscaping and a couple of bandcourses, has about 98 apartments. The building, which has six professional spaces, permits protruding window air-conditioners.
The building was acquired in 2005 by Stonehenge Partners Inc., which is headed by Ofer Yardeni and Joel Seiden, who at the same time bought 41 Park Avenue, 167 East 82nd Street and 10 Downing Street. Its other properties include The Olivia on West 33rd Street and the Ritz Plaza on West 48th Street.
