The Capitol is a distinguished cooperative building located at 12 East 87th Street in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Designed by architects George and Edward Blum, this eight-story structure features a striking façade of white glazed terracotta, making it one of the most visually appealing buildings in the area. The building is pet-friendly and offers amenities such as a live-in superintendent and a part-time doorman, enhancing the living experience for its residents.
Originally constructed in 1912, The Capitol was designed with a single five-bedroom apartment per floor, but over the years, many units have been subdivided. The building now comprises 28 apartments, with flexible ownership options including pied-Ă -terre use and financing up to 65 percent. The cooperative also allows for subletting, gifting, and co-purchasing on a case-by-case basis.
Residents enjoy spacious layouts with high ceilings, large windows, and hardwood floors. Many apartments feature modern kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances and elegant bathrooms. The building's location is ideal, just steps from Central Park and Museum Mile, providing easy access to cultural institutions, fine dining, and boutique shopping.
Despite its historical significance, The Capitol has been well-maintained, with recent renovations to the lobby and other common areas. The building's serene tree-lined street and proximity to public transportation make it a desirable choice for those seeking a blend of classic charm and modern convenience in one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods.

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.
