Overview of 1120 Fifth Avenue

In a serene section of upper Fifth Avenue, away from the hustle of parade routes, 1120 Fifth Avenue combines architectural heritage with modern convenience, offering a sophisticated lifestyle in one of Manhattan's most desirable enclaves.

Designed by renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter and completed in 1925, 1120 Fifth Avenue stands as one of Carnegie Hill's most distinguished prewar cooperatives. This elegant 15-story building comprises 44 luxurious residences and boasts a timeless design that reflects Carpenter's mastery as one of New York City's foremost architects of the era.

A virtual twin to its neighbor, 1115 Fifth Avenue, this building shares Carpenter’s signature design, though with key distinctions, such as regular windows on the first floor versus arched ones at 1115. The property features attractive sidewalk landscaping, a spacious parallel-to-the-avenue lobby, and a maisonette on 93rd Street.

1120 Fifth Avenue offers a suite of full-service amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, fitness center, private storage, and a bike room. The cooperative is pet-friendly and allows financing of up to 50% of the purchase price. Renovations are permitted seasonally, from April 15 to October 15.


Situated in Carnegie Hill, the building enjoys proximity to Central Park, Museum Mile, Madison Avenue’s upscale boutiques, and fine dining options. It’s conveniently located near private schools and cultural institutions, making it ideal for residents seeking a quiet yet vibrant neighborhood.

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.
