Overview of 1080 Fifth Avenue

1080 Fifth Avenue is a white brick cooperative built in 1960 and designed by Weschler & Schimenti. This boutique building contains either 57 apartments, creating an intimate residential environment with full time doorman, concierge, and live-in superintendent. The co-op sits in a prime Carnegie Hill location directly across from the Guggenheim Museum, offering residents spectacular views of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural masterpiece alongside sweeping Central Park and reservoir vistas.

Apartments feature oversized picture windows that maximize the dramatic Fifth Avenue views, with many units showcasing Central Park and reservoir panoramas. Layouts range from classic three bedroom homes to expansive nine room corner apartments spanning approximately 3,000 square feet, with some featuring private terraces. Many apartments include abundant closet space, and the building permits washer/dryer installation.

The location places residents at the heart of Museum Mile, surrounded by cultural institutions including the National Academy in the historic Archer Huntington mansion to the north and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum one block away. Despite the proximity to the Guggenheim, this stretch of Fifth Avenue remains notably quiet since parades terminate at 86th Street and park transverse entrances are located further south. Building amenities include private deeded storage, bicycle room, central laundry facilities, and maintenance fees that include all utilities, making this one of the most desirable addresses in Carnegie Hill.

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.
