Overview of Brisbane House at 1215 Fifth Avenue

The Brisbane House is named in honor of its eponymous financier, Arthur Brisbane, who was one the most widely-read journalists of the 1930s within William Randolph Heart's empire, and the occupant of a remarkable penthouse covering the entire top three floors of the impressive structure. It was built in 1926 and designed by Schultze & Weaver, designers of the Pierre, Sherry Netherland Hotel, and the Waldorf Astoria.

The building's professional staff includes a live-in superintendent, and amenities include a fitness area, bike room, storage, and central laundry room. It is directly across from Central Park and close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, Neue Gallerie, premier dining, and Madison Avenue shopping.

Carter’s Review

"This 15-story apartment building was erected in 1929 by Arthur Brisbane, an editor with the Hearst organization who had earlier developed the Ritz Tower on the northeast corner of Park Avenue and 57th Street, designed by Emery Roth and an important early midtown skyscraper.

For this building, Brisbane commissioned Schultze & Weaver, the architectural firm that designed the Sherry Netherland Hotel and the Pierre Hotel lower down on Fifth Avenue."

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.
