On Saturday, February 1, the Museum of the City of New York hosted a talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Goldberger and AD100 designer David Netto, authors of Rosario Candela & The New York Apartment. The book explores prominent prewar architect Rosario Candela’s most famous residential buildings through lenses of urban planning and interior and exterior design.

In a foreword, design executive Aerin Lauder notes that she knew Candela's designs before she knew his name. Indeed, if you are one of the many admirers of New York City's pre-war residential buildings, chances are good that you count Candela designs among your favorites. As architecture critic Carter Horsley puts it, “These buildings reek with good taste, better proportions, lavish expanses of limestone on the exterior, and considerable square footage inside the apartments.”

Born in Sicily, Candela came to the United States in 1909 and graduated from the Columbia School of Architecture in 1915. He is widely considered to have been the country's greatest designer of luxury apartment buildings and he collaborated with many of the city's most famous architectural firms such as Warren and Wetmore, the designer of Grand Central Terminal. With a career of built work spanning five decades and more than 50 luxury apartment buildings in Manhattan alone, he was best known for his mastery of interior layouts, which often featured grand foyers, dramatic curving staircases in duplex units, and impressive public rooms. Other thoughtful details included perfectly spaced windows, and thick inner walls to conceal bumps from plumbing, beams, and columns.

“Candela’s apartments are the means by which we know the great residential neighborhoods of the Upper East Side and Sutton Place” — David Netto

At the height of the Jazz Age in the 1920s, his elegant buildings of set-back terraces elegantly adapted to the city's 1916 zoning resolution, and were judiciously decorated in Neo-Georgian and Art Deco ornamentation that gave most of his buildings a quiet and understated appearance. However, it was his gracious formal interiors that helped transform Fifth Avenue, Park Avenue, and Sutton Place into the sought-after apartment addresses that they are today. Coaxing wealthy New Yorkers to surrender their mansions for apartment living wasn't easy, and he used tantalizing marketing tactics to persuade them to give up their private houses and move into these palatial residences.

Zoning laws required Candela to create the romantic rooftop setbacks that came to define classic New York City architecture. Notable interior architecture features include thoughtfully designed floor plans, spacious and carefully placed rooms.

Nearly a century later, the words "Rosario Candela-designed" add instant cachet to any real estate listing. In 2018, the Museum of the City of New York honored his work with the "Elegance in the Sky" exhibition, and many buildings have been designated New York City landmarks.

Below, see some of Candela's most elegant New York City buildings and their relatively few availabilities. The vast majority of his buildings are co-ops with selective boards, meaning not only money guarantees you access into the most prestigious addresses.

Top 10 buildings designed by Rosario Candela

#10. 2 East 67th Street
No public availabilities

Upper East Side | Completed in 1928
Cooperative | 15 stories | 14 units

All images of 2 East 67th Street via Sotheby's

“One of the city's premier addresses in part because it is close to many of the city's most fashionable boutiques and restaurants along Madison Avenue” — Carter Horsley

While this Italian Renaissance palazzo-inspired co-op is located near some of the city's premier designer shopping, an apartment in this building is as coveted as anything in a Madison Avenue boutique, and even more exclusive. There are only 15 apartments, which feature 11-foot ceilings, fireplaces, impeccable details, and beautiful views of Central Park. Previous residents have included Leonard Lauder, Jonathan Tisch, Arthur Carter, and Charles Allen, Jr.

#9. 19 East 72nd Street

No public availabilities

Upper East Side | Completed in 1937
Cooperative | 17 stories | 40 units

“This building, clad entirely in limestone, probably has the best base in the city” — Carter Horsley

19 East 72nd Street was erected on the former site of the townhouse of Charles Tiffany and Louis Comfort Tiffany. The new building is clad entirely in limestone, which would make it luxurious enough on its own. However, the magnificent, sinuous, very graceful and subtle arcs of the base’s curves are superbly proportioned and soften what would otherwise be the traditionally hard edges of the building. While some of the apartments inside have undergone renovations, they have kept the grandeur and details that made and keep it highly coveted.

#8. 133 East 80th Street
No public availabilities

Carnegie Hill | Completed in 1930
Cooperative | 14 stories | 26 units

133 East 80th Street via Wiki Commons

“One of the most distinguished apartment houses on Lexington Avenue” — Carter Horsley

The brown brick facade, gargoyles, battlements, and rooftop water tank enclosure set 133 East 80th Street apart as one of the most eye-catching on the Upper East Side. Large windows fill the spacious, classic apartments with light. It's no surprise that the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

#7. 1 Sutton Place South
