This 16-story red-brick building from 1928 has 39 apartments and was converted to a cooperative in 1953. It features a limestone base, arched entrance, doorman, and attractive windows, located near cultural institutions and famous boutiques on Madison Avenue.
The St Ives, designed by Cross & Cross, is a 16 story, 37 apartment pre-war cooperative completed in 1928 at 155 East 72nd Street. Its red brick façade rises from a two story rusticated limestone base, with an arched canopied entrance and additional stonework around the third floor windows and upper stories. The building converted to cooperative ownership in 1953.
The apartment stock is notable for its recurring duplex layouts, many of which place formal living and dining rooms on the lower level and bedrooms above. High ceilings, oversized windows, herringbone or other hardwood floors, wood burning fireplaces, formal galleries, and original service rooms and pantries recur in the interiors. High floor homes have open city views, while several larger duplexes have southern exposures and fireplaces on both levels.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, a renovated lobby, private storage, a laundry room, and a fitness center completed in 2024. It is pet friendly, permits 50 percent financing, and allows pieds-à-terre with board approval.
The St Ives occupies a mid-block site on East 72nd Street between Lexington and Third Avenues in Lenox Hill. Madison Avenue and Central Park are to the west, while the restaurants and neighborhood shopping of Lexington and Third Avenues are closer to the building.

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.
