The Mayfair at 610 Park Avenue stands as one of Manhattan's most distinguished prewar condominiums, with a storied history that reflects the evolution of luxury living on the Upper East Side. Built in 1925 by renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter, the building originally opened as the 450-room Mayfair House hotel and gained significant social cachet when Le Cirque restaurant opened on its ground floor in 1974, quickly becoming one of the city's most prestigious dining destinations. The building's conversion to a 68-unit condominium in 1997-1998 was remarkably successful, with units selling out based solely on floor plans before buyers could even enter the building.
