Overview of 235 East 49th Street

235 East 49th Street was built in 1925 and designed by Henry Ives Cobb. It served as the home of the New York Theological Seminary until it was converted to a 75-unit cooperative in 1983. The building is distinguished by its red brick façade and dramatic entrance.

A doorman and a live-in superintendent are on staff, and amenities include a common laundry room and a roof deck with stunning views. It is located on a picturesque block near the United Nations Headquarters, fine dining, and Grand Central Terminal. The building allows pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, and gifting on a case-by-case basis. It is a smoke-free building.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious pre-war" midtown residence offers "classic New York living" on a "charming tree-lined street." The 75-unit building features "coveted amenities" including a "serene roof garden" and convenient on-site laundry. Its "heart-of-midtown location" puts residents steps from everything the city has to offer.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
