This apartment building at 970 Park Avenue overlooks the Roman Catholic Church of St. Ignatius Loyola and its facilities. The red-brick building was erected in 1912 as a 12-story structure and was later converted to a cooperative with added penthouses.
970 Park Avenue is a 1912 Carnegie Hill cooperative designed by Schwartz & Gross for Bing & Bing. Originally a 12 story rental building, it was converted to a co-op and expanded to 15 stories in 1987 under Martin J. Raynes. Air rights from the property and adjoining 66 East 83rd Street supported two setback triplex penthouses organized around circular staircases, greenhouse studies and large terraces. The building now contains 40 apartments.
The Georgian Revival exterior combines red brick with a two story limestone base and a canopied entrance set in a tall limestone surround. Classical detailing includes bandcourses, window surrounds and balustraded balconies on the sixth, eighth and tenth floors.
Apartments commonly have ceilings of about 10 feet or higher, oversized windows, hardwood floors, fireplaces and substantial entrance galleries. Floor plans range from classic five room arrangements to broad multi bedroom homes with formal entertaining rooms and staff space. Park Avenue views recur, while corner layouts often receive light from two or three exposures.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, resident manager, fitness room and private storage; pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted. It occupies the southwest corner of Park Avenue and East 83rd Street, opposite St. Ignatius Loyola. Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are two avenue blocks west, and the 4, 5 and 6 trains stop at the 86th Street station on Lexington Avenue.

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.
