Overview of 1125 Fifth Avenue

Built in 1925, the 14-story, 16-unit building was designed in the Neo-Renaissance style by celebrated architect Emery Roth. Apartments in this elegant Upper East Side co-op building often make celebrity real estate headlines for their ability to attract the rich and famous from Bette Midler to Jon Bon Jovi. Ms. Midler’s 14-room penthouse occupies the building’s top three floors, but it’s not the only unit to enjoy stunning views of Central Park, the Reservoir and the iconic Manhattan skyline.

Amenities include a full-time doorman and a new fitness center as well as additional storage. Located within the Carnegie Hill historic district, the park is your front yard, and the 4, 6 subway stop is just a couple of blocks away. The surrounding blocks offer cultural icons like the Guggenheim, 92nd Street Y and classic family favorites like Sarahbeth’s and Paola’s tucked among the gracious townhouses, ornate churches, diplomats’ quarters and distinguished pre-war apartment buildings.

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.
