212 Fifth Avenue
Condo located in Flatiron/Union Square, at The Northwest corner of West 26th Street
Description of 212 Fifth Avenue
Designed by Schwartz & Gross and built in 1913, the 21-story former office building at 212 Fifth Avenue facing Madison Square Park now holds 48 residential condominiums, with an ornate Neo-Gothic façade restored by Helpern Architects. The pinnacle holds The Crown, a three-level penthouse purchased by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos,the wealthiest person in the world, who also picked two units directly below for a combined total of 17,000 square feet.
Pembrooke & Ives decked out the high-ceiled interiors with hardwood floors, while the architects added windows on the south side to provide extra sunlight and views of Madison Square Park into upper-floor units. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, concierge, a Jay Wright-designed fitness center with a yoga studio and private treatment room, a golf simulator, a screening room, a boardroom, a game room, a children's playroom, a lounge and cold storage for fresh food deliveries. Storage rooms and staff quarters are also available for purchase.
In addition to Madison Square Park, the Manhattan neighborhood is filled with options for arts, culture, shopping and dining, including Eataly, Dover Street Market for hip shopping, Trader Joe’s and the Ace Hotel with its many restaurants and venues that helped put the Nomad neighborhood on the 21st-century radar; it’s a short walk to the Midtown business district, and just about every subway line in the city is a few blocks away.
