1185 Park Avenue is the only remaining grand courtyard apartment building on Park Avenue, a distinguished Carnegie Hill cooperative designed by Schwartz & Gross and developed by the Bricken Construction Company in 1929. The building's striking Gothic triple arch entrance with rare porte cochere creates a dramatic first impression, leading into a beautifully landscaped central courtyard that serves as the heart of this 16 story, 172 unit co-op. The thoughtful design features six separate elevator lobbies around the courtyard, with only two apartments per floor, ensuring exceptional privacy and exclusivity for residents.
The building has attracted notable residents over the decades, including Broadway producer Moss Hart and actress Kitty Carlisle, who owned a duplex penthouse, and currently Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase. Apartments showcase classic prewar grandeur with expansive layouts featuring entrance galleries ranging from 12 to 34 feet in length, living rooms spanning 20 to 31 feet, wood burning fireplaces, libraries, formal dining rooms, and chef's kitchens with butler's pantries. Many units retain original details like beamed ceilings, herringbone floors, and include maid's rooms, while offering modern conveniences such as central air conditioning and in unit laundry.
The building's crown jewels are its spectacular duplex penthouses, including one with 5,100 square feet of interior space and a 2,600 square foot wrap around terrace offering city and river views. Located between 93rd and 94th Streets, residents enjoy proximity to Central Park, Museum Mile, and the Guggenheim, while benefiting from white glove service including 24 hour doorman and concierge, a state-of-the-art fitness center, children's playroom, roof garden, private storage, and bike room. The pet friendly building permits financing up to 50% and allows pied-à-terre ownership, with a 2% flip tax paid by purchaser.

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.
