Carter Horsley's Review of 860 Fifth Avenue

"In 1950, this 20-story cooperative apartment building replaced the Thomas Fortune Ryan mansion of 1895 designed by William Schickel & Company and an adjoining, colonnaded garden that was the former site of the Charles T. Yerkes mansion. By then, 'Millionaires' Row' had already been substantially decimated by other post-war demolitions that were inexcusable, though economically understandable, actions in a city that did not pass a landmarks law until the 1960's. Imagine, if you will, if most of the great mansions, and the Ryan fortune was one of the city's greatest, had remained and the new high-rise residential construction pushed to Madison Avenue or further east! For residents of the 159 cooperative apartments here, of course, the question is moot as they are delighted at their wonderful views from broad balconies at this super location. Designed by Sylvan Bien, this white brick building is strongly modeled with a setback central façade flanked by wings that stretch to the building line. The solid-wall balconies, which project from the façade as well as recess within it, give the building a robust horizontal emphasis, which is in keeping with its continuity with the existing streetwall and cornice lines. The watertank is handsomely enclosed in a simple, perforated enclosure that is consistent with the rest of the building." Read Carter's Full Review

Broker & Buyer Comments

"White glove building on 5th Ave b/w 67th & 68th, designed in 1950 by Sylvan Bien. Elegant white-brick post-war building with full staff: concierge, elevator men, doorman, porters etc. Many amenities including a discounted garage ($378), bicycle room, storage, garden, fitness room, common storage and a wine cellar. Small pets permitted. Pied a terres allowed. Its doesnt get better than this. Tough board. 50% down. High liquidity and income required. Very extensive board package. Dogs are interviewed. Board does review the packages on a timely basis. Subway isnt too far: Lex and 68th (6) & 59th and 5th (N,R,Q, F). Main draw is central park and all the high end shopping on madison ave and 5th avenue. Top restuarants: Daniel and Cafe Boulud. Madison Gourmet Grocer is near by."

"860 Fifth Avenue is a gracious building that offers concierge, doorman, porter and elevator operator services. The in-house garage offers residents an attractive reduced monthly rate of approximately $351/month. In addition, there is a new in-building gym. Pets, pied a terre usage, and private washers/dryers are allowed at this white glove building."
