The Ascot, located at 407 Park Avenue South at 28th Street, is a 26-story post-war cooperative building erected in 1984 by the Peter Kalikow Organization and designed by Philip Birnbaum. The beige-brick tower, which was converted to co-op in 1988, is notably set back from the avenue with retail stores at its base and features a side-street canopied entrance within a plaza that provides direct access to the uptown Lexington Avenue subway.
The building's layout consists of six apartments per floor, offering a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations, many featuring balconies and city views. Recent renovations have updated the lobby and hallways, maintaining the building's modern appeal. The structure stands on the former site of the Belmore Cafeteria, once a popular 24-hour dining spot for taxi drivers.
Residents enjoy a comprehensive suite of amenities including 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, state-of-the-art fitness center, and a roof deck with barbecue facilities, loungers, and panoramic city views. Additional conveniences include a bicycle room, private storage facilities, central laundry room, and a courtyard garden.
Situated in the heart of the NoMad/Flatiron district, The Ascot offers proximity to Madison Square Park, numerous dining establishments, and shopping venues. The location provides easy access to public transportation and is within walking distance to Whole Foods and other neighborhood conveniences.

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.
