Overview of Southgate at 400 East 52nd Street

The Southgate complex, designed by renowned architect Emery Roth for Bing & Bing in the late 1920s, consists of five distinguished Art Deco buildings located in the Beekman/Sutton Place neighborhood. The buildings are characterized by their richly textured reddish salmon brick façades, distinctive Art Deco detailing, and impressive architectural features including high ceilings and, in some units, sunken living rooms.

Originally constructed as rental properties and later converted to cooperatives, the complex sits on a quiet cul-de-sac near the East River. The buildings are notable for their unique architectural composition, which Steven Ruttenbaum described in 'Mansions In The Sky' as 'Manhattan's most distinctive residential Art Deco ensemble.'

This full-service cooperative offers residents a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, beautifully landscaped private garden, storage facilities, bike room, and laundry facilities. The building is both pet and pied-à-terre friendly, with electricity included in the maintenance charges. Its location provides convenient access to shopping, dining, and transportation options while maintaining a prestigious and private setting.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
