136 East 56th Street is a 16-story postwar cooperative building constructed in 1959, housing 148 units between Lexington and Park Avenues. The building recently underwent significant improvements, including the installation of a new limestone façade, with ongoing updates to the lobby and hallways.
The full-service building offers a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, on-site garage, roof deck, garden, laundry facilities, and bike storage. The building's one-story base features black granite with a white marble entrance surround and canopied entrance with spiked sidewalk landscaping.
Located one block south of Billionaires' Row, the building enjoys a prime Midtown East location with easy access to numerous amenities including Bloomingdale's, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. The area offers excellent transportation options with crosstown bus service on 57th Street and nearby subway access.
The cooperative maintains flexible policies, permitting pets, pied-a-terres, and sublets with board approval. The building allows 80% financing, gifting, and co-purchasing arrangements. Units in the building range from studios to three-bedrooms, with many apartments featuring recent renovations.
The building is adjacent to a mid-block building owned by the Republic of Zimbabwe and sits in a neighborhood known for its convenience to the Midtown office district, high-end shopping, and diverse dining options.

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.
