Overview of The Folio House at 105 Fifth Avenue

The Folio House at 105 Fifth Avenue is an 11 story Beaux-Arts building designed by American architect Robert Maynicke and completed in 1880. Converted to residential use in 1988, the pre-war co-op contains 41 units and sits at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 18th Street in the Flatiron District, one block from Union Square. The building features a virtual doorman system, full time superintendent and porter, two passenger elevators plus a freight elevator, and recently renovated hallways. Amenities include a newly renovated gym, laundry room, package room, and private storage cages. The building is pet friendly and permits in-unit washers and dryers with board approval, along with 70% financing.

Apartments at 105 Fifth Avenue are characterized by authentic loft proportions with high ceilings and oversized windows, with many retaining their original oak or mahogany casement frames. Units typically feature wide plank hardwood floors, open layouts, and exposures facing west, north, or south that provide considerable natural light. 

The location provides quick access to Union Square and its renowned Greenmarket, along with proximity to Madison Square Park. Residents are steps from multiple subway lines, world class restaurants, shopping along the historic Ladies Mile, and numerous cultural institutions.

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.
