Overview of 1055 Park Avenue

Completed in 2008 and developed by Trevor Davis, 1055 Park Avenue stands as the only glass clad residential building on Park Avenue. The 12 story boutique condominium at the southeast corner of 87th Street in Carnegie Hill contains just five residences, designed by architect H. Thomas O'Hara with interiors by Cetra/Ruddy. The minimalist glass façade features floor-to-ceiling windows and a street visible lobby with pear wood walls and crème colored marble floors. Building amenities include a full time doorman and concierge, resident manager, fitness center, and private elevator access to residences.

The building's apartments range from three and four bedroom duplexes to a triplex spanning the 8th through 10th floors and a duplex penthouse. Units typically measure around 3,200 square feet, with the triplex featuring a 22 foot living and dining room, 16 foot kitchen opening onto a 26 foot terrace, and four bedrooms plus a study across three levels. The penthouse offers a 23 foot living room facing Park Avenue, 17 foot dining and kitchen space, and a 20 foot roof terrace. Three bedroom duplexes include 22 foot corner living rooms, 16 foot dining rooms, and accommodations for staff.

All apartments share consistent high end finishes, including white Poggenpohl glossy cabinetry, Miele appliances, Corian countertops, and Sub-Zero wine coolers in kitchens. Bathrooms feature rain showers, Poliform or Bianco glossy Varrenes vanities, Dornbracht fixtures, and white Rhino marble walls and floors. Pale oak flooring, soaring ceiling heights, and custom wall coverings are standard throughout. A sculptural staircase of frosted glass steps on cascading metal risers serves as an architectural focal point in multi level units.

Residences are equipped with smart home technology systems including Crestron controls for lighting, shades, surround sound, and central HVAC. The Carnegie Hill location places residents two blocks from Central Park and near Museum Mile, with Madison Avenue shopping, Whole Foods, and Fairway Market within easy reach. Transportation options include the 4/5/6 and Q subway lines, extensive bus service, and FDR Drive access. One residence was featured in Architectural Digest, and corner units offer views of the Park Avenue Mall's seasonal plantings.
