1045 Fifth Avenue is a distinctive 14-story building located between 85th and 86th Streets on the Upper East Side, notable for its mostly glass façade, the only one of its kind on Fifth Avenue north of 59th Street. Designed by architect Horace Ginsberg and completed in 1967, the building features a modern aesthetic that harmonizes with its historic neighbors, including the pre-war limestone-clad building at 1040 Fifth Avenue and the Georgian-style mansion housing the Neue Gallerie.
Originally constructed with 25 apartments, the building was converted to a cooperative in 1980 and now comprises 12 units, many of which have been combined. The building offers residents access to a landscaped rear garden and is managed with a full-time doorman, providing a level of service that enhances the living experience. The apartments are characterized by wide Juliet balconies that offer stunning views of Central Park, making them highly desirable.
Among the notable residences is a duplex penthouse that was once a gift from developer Manny Duell to his wife, Irene, and later purchased by Paul McCartney. This penthouse features over 800 square feet of wraparound balconies and luxurious finishes, including a floating staircase and marble floors. Other apartments in the building range from spacious two-bedroom units to expansive five-bedroom duplexes, all designed to maximize natural light and views.
Located in the heart of Museum Mile, 1045 Fifth Avenue provides easy access to cultural landmarks, shopping, and dining. The building's amenities include personal storage, laundry facilities, and a pet-friendly policy, making it an attractive option for discerning buyers seeking a blend of modern living and classic New York charm.

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.
