35 Park Avenue

Overview of 35 Park Avenue

35 Park Avenue is an 18-story cooperative building in Murray Hill, designed by noted architects Sylvan and Robert Bien. Completed in 1955, the beige-brick building features a white stone base, a polished black granite entrance with a canopy, and landscaped sidewalks. It contains 145 apartments and was converted to cooperative ownership in 1970. Notable design elements include corner windows, discreet air-conditioning units, and select residences with terraces.

This full-service building offers a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, a landscaped common garden, two ground-floor laundry rooms, bike storage, and an on-site garage with internal access. Residents also have access to additional storage, subject to availability. Pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors, gifting, and parents buying for children are permitted with board approval. Financing is allowed up to 70%. Pets are not permitted.

Located at the cusp of Murray Hill and Midtown East, 35 Park Avenue offers convenient access to Gramercy, NoMad, and Hudson Yards. The 6 train, as well as Madison and Lexington Avenue bus lines, are nearby, and Grand Central Terminal is less than a 10-minute walk. Everyday essentials, including Trader Joe’s and Equinox, are within easy reach, while the neighborhood is home to a diverse selection of restaurants, including the two-Michelin-starred ATOMIX.

Sylvan Bien, a prolific mid-century architect, is also known for designing The Carlyle Hotel, 860 and 922 Fifth Avenue, and the Schwab House. His firm’s work on 35 Park Avenue reflects the boxy, functional style of the era, a design approach noted in a 2000 New York Times article by Christopher Gray. The building stands just north of the former James Hampden and Cornelia Van Rensselaer Robb mansion, now converted to apartments.
