400 East 59th Street is a 17 story, 121 apartment pre-war co-op in Sutton Place, directly opposite the Queensboro Bridge and its Guastavino tiled vaults. Designed by Van Wart & Wein in 1928, the building has a canopied entrance at the corner of First Avenue.
Many apartments retain high or beamed ceilings, herringbone floors, entry foyers, oversized windows, and windowed kitchens and baths. Corner layouts and multiple exposures are common, while upper floor homes may face the bridge, East River, or Manhattan skyline. Several larger layouts use changes in floor level, including sunken living rooms and slightly raised bedroom areas, and both working and decorative fireplaces recur.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, central laundry room, bicycle room, resident storage, and a landscaped courtyard garden reached from the lobby. Maintenance covers electricity and basic cable. The co-op is pet friendly, permits pied-à-terre ownership and subletting, allows up to 75 percent financing, and has no flip tax.
Trader Joe's occupies space across the street beneath the bridge, with Whole Foods, Bloomingdale's, and the East River Esplanade also close by. The Lexington Avenue/59th Street station serves the 4, 5, 6, N, R, and W trains.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
