Overview of 45 East 85th Street

35 East 85th Street is a prewar nine-story building with 43 residences and offers full-service amenities, including a fitness center, landscaped garden, large storage bins, a laundry room, and mail delivered to the door. The building is staffed with full-time doormen, a handyman, porter, and resident manager. Recent upgrades include a newly designed lobby by Phillip Gorrivan, updated electrical systems, and a new sidewalk in 2024. Washer and dryers are permitted, as are pets and pied-Ă -terres, with trust ownership allowed on a case-by-case basis. Financing is capped at 50%, and a garage is conveniently located next door at 35 East 85th Street.

Located on a tree-lined block across from Regis High School, the building showcases a classic architectural design with a half-story white marble base, a grand two-story marble entrance surround, and intricate terracotta detailing. Features include a canopied entrance, a spacious lobby, sidewalk landscaping, and consistent fenestration with fan-shaped terracotta accents above select windows. While there is no roof deck or on-site garage, the building benefits from its prime Upper East Side location near Museum Mile, shopping, restaurants, and numerous religious institutions.

Situated just 1.5 blocks from Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir track, the building is moments from cultural landmarks such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the Neue Galerie. Local conveniences include Butterfield Market and Le Pain Quotidien a half block away, with Whole Foods and Fairway located on 86th and 87th Streets. Transportation options include the express 4, 5, and 6 trains at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue, the Q train at 86th Street and Second Avenue, and crosstown buses on 84th and 86th Streets.

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.
