This handsome, red-brick complex at 60 Sutton Place South maximizes waterfront and park views. The 19-story development, completed in 1952, features angled balconies and a large central garden. Currently, 8 apartments are for sale.
With its unique architectural features, waterfront views, and full suite of amenities, 60 Sutton Place South offers residents an elegant, convenient lifestyle in one of New York’s most coveted neighborhoods.
Designed by Arthur Wieser and built by the Paul Tishman Company, 60 Sutton Place South is a 19-story red-brick cooperative, completed in 1952 and converted in 1955. Located on the eastern half of a prime block bordered by Sutton Place South, First Avenue, and 53rd and 54th Streets, this two-building complex was thoughtfully designed to maximize waterfront and park views.
Residents enjoy a wealth of amenities, including a full-time doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, fitness center, and laundry facilities. The building also offers an on-site garage, a large garden courtyard between the north and south towers, and a spacious driveway with a center island that features a modern sculpture. Pets and pieds-à-terre are welcome, catering to diverse resident needs.
Architecturally, Wieser’s design stands out for its angled balconies that maximize river views, providing even rear-facing apartments with diagonal sightlines towards the East River. The two towers are joined by a glass-enclosed lobby. The white concrete slabs of the balcony floors contrast elegantly against the red-brick façade, creating strong visual accents and giving the building a handsome, well-proportioned appearance.
In contrast to nearby buildings with similar designs, 60 Sutton Place South achieves a greater sense of openness and sophistication, solidifying its status as one of the more visually successful structures in the area.
Architectural historians Robert A. M. Stern, Thomas Mellins, and David Fishman praised Wieser's innovative approach in their book New York 1960, highlighting how Wieser broke up the building’s structure with angled walls, giving living rooms and bedrooms unique, five-sided layouts oriented towards the river—a design inspired by the Darien Apartments in Chicago.

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.
