Overview of 1040 Park Avenue

1040 Park Avenue is an elegant 14-story cooperative dating back to 1925. The Georgian-style building has Art Deco elements and a three-story limestone base topped by a tortoise-and-hare frieze that has been adopted by the American Association for the Advancement and Appreciation of Animals in Art & Architecture. The penthouse was once home to publisher Conde Montrose Nast, who hosted legendary parties.

The full-service cooperative has a full-time doorman, concierge, and on-site resident manager on staff. Amenities include a fitness center, laundry room, and private storage (with availability). Washer/dryers are permitted with board approval, and pets are allowed. The building is located near the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madison Avenue galleries and designer shopping, and fine dining.

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.
