Overview of 1140 Fifth Avenue

1140 Fifth Avenue is a classic 15-story Upper East Side co-op designed and built by Frederick Fillmore French in restrained Renaissance style in 1922. Today the building holds 43 apartments with five- and six-room configurations. Many elegant pre-war details and proportions–like fireplaces and 10-foot ceilings–remain, in addition to stunning Central Park views on the building’s Fifth Avenue side.

In addition to a lobby decorated by Ralph Lauren, residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, a roof deck, private storage and a bike room. Central Park, of course, is perhaps the biggest neighborhood perk, just across the avenue; nearby highlights include cultural icons like the Guggenheim, 92nd Street Y and classic family favorites like Sarahbeth’s and Paola’s tucked among the neighborhood’s 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.
