15-story cooperative building from 1927 with 259 apartments and attractive features. Well-located near cultural institutions, boutiques, and restaurants with good bus service.
117 East 72nd Street is a 1928 pre-war co-op just off Park Avenue, with 259 apartments across 15 stories. Its limestone and brick façade is marked by a three story limestone base, rusticated first floor, wrought iron doors, small balconies, and a canopied entrance beneath a broken pediment with a central vase.
The building has a full time doorman, live-in resident manager, service staff, storage, and a pet friendly policy. The apartments reflect the scale and planning of traditional Upper East Side co-ops, with high ceilings, large entertaining rooms, galleries, libraries, formal dining rooms, fireplaces, generous closets, and eat-in kitchens. Windowed laundry rooms and private elevator vestibules also recur in the larger residences.
Layouts range from conventional apartments to expansive homes that can be reconfigured between two, three, and four bedroom arrangements. A maisonette level has its own entrance from East 72nd Street, an atypical arrangement that gives the residence a more private street connection. Larger apartments also show the building's capacity for staff or guest suites, flexible libraries and dressing rooms, and separate service areas.
The address sits between Park and Lexington Avenues, close to Madison Avenue boutiques, cultural institutions, restaurants, and neighborhood shopping along Lexington and Third Avenues. The co-op does not permit financing and charges a 2% flip tax on sales.

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.
