Built in 1957 and designed by Gustave W. Iser for Harry Lanzer and Arthur Posner, 1036 Park Avenue is a distinctive 19-story red brick cooperative building located on the southwest corner of Park Avenue and 86th Street. The building's exterior is notable for its distinctive green glazed terra cotta corner panels, several terraces, and corner bay windows. It was converted to a cooperative in 1960 and contains 75 apartments.
The building underwent a significant renovation that enhanced its entrance and lobby, featuring an elegant Oriental-style design that harmoniously complements the neighboring building - an unusual example of contextual design in the area. The apartments range from studios to three-bedroom units, with many featuring generous room proportions and thoughtful layouts. Some notable configurations include units with multiple terraces, bay windows, and spacious living areas.
Residents enjoy full-service amenities including a full-time doorman, concierge, and a live-in superintendent.

The location offers exceptional convenience, situated just two blocks from Central Park and Museum Mile. The building is steps from the express subway station at Lexington Avenue, and crosstown buses run frequently on 86th Street.

The surrounding area is highly desirable, characterized by landmark buildings, major museums, excellent schools, and religious institutions. The building's position on Park Avenue, combined with its full-service amenities and well-maintained facilities, makes it a notable address in the Upper East Side's Carnegie Hill neighborhood.

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.
