The Campanile, built in 1927 during the Great Gatsby era, is a prestigious 14-story prewar cooperative at 450 East 52nd Street. Distinguished by its Venetian-Gothic façade of stone and brick, the building houses just 16 exclusive full-floor and duplex residences, making it one of Manhattan's most intimate luxury cooperatives.
The building's illustrious history includes serving as home to numerous celebrities and notable figures, including Greta Garbo, Rex Harrison, Mary Martin, H.J. Heinz, and the Rothschilds. During its colorful past, the building also hosted the Mayfair Yacht Club in the 1930s and operated as a speakeasy during Prohibition.
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking the East River, The Campanile offers residents spectacular water views from most apartments. Many units feature wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings, and private elevator landings, with some boasting extensive terraces. The building recently underwent improvements, including new elevator installation in 2020 and a lobby renovation.
Residents enjoy white-glove service with a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, and private storage. The building maintains a pet-friendly policy with board approval and typically considers financing on a case-by-case basis.
The location offers convenient access to Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations Headquarters, and the East River Esplanade. The neighborhood provides easy access to numerous restaurants, boutiques, and amenities, including Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, while maintaining a quiet atmosphere.

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.
