Overview of 125 West 56th Street

125 West 56th Street is an intimate pre-war co-op housed in a brick townhouse dating to the early 1920s. Its small scale is reflected in the range of layouts, including recurring duplex residences that place living areas on one level and bedrooms on another, an arrangement unusual for a conventional Midtown apartment building.

Apartments have spacious proportions, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and substantial closet storage. Windowed kitchens recur across the residences, while layouts range from one bedroom homes to three bedroom duplexes with open living and dining areas. The building also has a laundry room, resident storage, and bicycle storage.

The co-op permits pied-à-terre arrangements, co-purchasing, gifting, and guarantors, with subletting permitted after two years of ownership subject to board approval. These policies, together with the building's boutique scale, give it a flexible ownership structure within a primarily residential townhouse setting.

125 West 56th Street is three blocks from Central Park and close to Columbus Circle, Carnegie Hall, MoMA, the Theater District, and the shops and restaurants around Central Park South. Whole Foods, Morton Williams, and a broad range of dining options are nearby, while the block's position between Sixth and Seventh Avenues places it in the center of Midtown West.

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.
