1020 Fifth Avenue is a prestigious full-service cooperative built in 1925 by the architects of Grand Central Terminal. The Beaux-Arts building features unique oversized windows and is located near Central Park, museums, shopping, and top schools.
1020 Fifth Avenue is a 1925 cooperative on the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 83rd Street, directly across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and one block north of its main entrance. Designed by Warren & Wetmore, the 14 story limestone clad Beaux Arts building has 13 apartments, including six duplexes. Its unusual arrangement of staggered floors and distinctive window pattern creates grand salons with unusually high ceilings and varied apartment layouts.
The lower four floors are faced in rusticated limestone, while the Fifth Avenue and 83rd Street façades are marked by two story arches, balustraded details, and oversized windows. A maisonette has its own entrance on Fifth Avenue, and the apartments facing the avenue have especially tall living room windows. The building’s canopied entrance is on 83rd Street, beside landscaped sidewalks.
Apartments are generally large, with high ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, generous galleries and formal entertaining rooms. Many have broad exposures and views of Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum, the Central Park South skyline, or the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. The building has a 24 hour doorman, concierge, resident superintendent, porters, and landscaped sidewalks; pets are welcome.
The site previously held the mansion of banker William A. Salomon, whose house was replaced after his death by the present apartment building. A top duplex was once occupied by a member of the Kress family, whose art collection included major Italian Renaissance paintings later donated to museums including the National Gallery of Art. The address sits in Carnegie Hill, with Central Park and the Museum immediately across Fifth Avenue and the Upper East Side’s museums, galleries, restaurants, and shops nearby.

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.
