1025 Fifth Avenue features an unusual design where two separate 13 story towers on East 83rd and 84th Streets are connected only by a spectacular 100 foot lobby entrance on Fifth Avenue. Built in 1955 and designed by H.L. Feldman with interiors by Raymond Loewy Associates, the building replaced an Ogden Codman designed mansion from 1906, creating what critics have called a "hole in the wall" along Fifth Avenue's prestigious streetscape. The dramatic entrance features a marble arch above a landscaped plaza that extends deep into the block, culminating in beautifully maintained courtyard gardens that provide residents with serene outdoor space and glimpses of Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art directly across the street.
This white glove cooperative offers comprehensive building services including 24 hour doorman and concierge service, elevator operators, and a live-in resident manager. Residents enjoy access to a state-of-the-art fitness center, on-site parking garage, bicycle storage, laundry facilities, and private storage bins. The building maintains notably flexible policies for a Fifth Avenue address, permitting pied-à-terre ownership, pets with board approval, and up to 75% financing, along with a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. Additional amenities include a lending library and book club that hosts visiting authors.
Apartments typically feature generous proportions with many units exceeding 1,400 square feet, and numerous residences include private terraces. Many units have been extensively renovated with high end finishes, and the building's unique courtyard facing exposures provide peaceful, quiet living with tree lined views despite the prime Fifth Avenue location. Notable former residents include Gavin MacLeod of "The Love Boat", reflecting the building's appeal to entertainment industry professionals and other discerning buyers seeking luxury living on Museum Mile.

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.
