Park Avenue Place, completed in 2005, stands as a distinctive 41 story condominium at 60 East 55th Street, designed by world renowned architects Kohn Pedersen Fox with interiors by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The 76 unit building was developed by Davis/RFR, with Aby Rosen as principal, and was originally named "de Resident" when ground broke in 2000. The tower occupies its entire 86 by 100 foot lot with a built floor area ratio of 17.38, creating an imposing presence described as resembling "a high tech, stainless steel aircraft carrier standing on one end."
The building's unique mixed use design incorporates The Core Club, an exclusive private club occupying the lower five floors, which provides residents with complimentary access to a Tom Colicchio restaurant and bar, state of the art spa, fitness center, screening room, conference facilities, and private dining rooms. This integration of luxury club amenities directly within the residential building sets Park Avenue Place apart from typical Manhattan condominiums. Additional building services include 24 hour doorman and concierge, live in superintendent, valet services, and private storage lockers.
Apartments range from studios on lower floors to three bedroom homes on upper levels, with a duplex penthouse spanning the 44th and 45th floors featuring private terraces. Units showcase floor to ceiling windows, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, and kitchens equipped with Sub Zero refrigerators, Miele appliances, wine coolers, built in espresso makers, black granite counters, and white lacquer cabinetry. The marble bathrooms feature soaking tubs, separate glass enclosed showers, heated towel bars, and double sink vanities, while each apartment includes in unit Bosch washer/dryers.
Located between Park and Madison Avenues in Midtown East, the building offers prime access to Fifth Avenue shopping, Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, and major subway lines including the E, M, and 6 trains. The neighborhood context places Park Avenue Place among other distinctive towers on what's described as one of Manhattan's most architecturally striking blocks, with easy access to world class dining, luxury shopping, and cultural attractions that define this coveted Midtown location.
