Overview of 140 East 72nd Street

140 East 72nd Street is a 22 story, 101 unit post-war co-op whose penthouse is arranged as a duplex with terraces facing all four directions. Designed by Sylvan and Robert Bien in 1959, the building has a pale brick façade, a polished rosy granite base and a canopied entrance with sidewalk landscaping.

Many apartments are organized around substantial entrance foyers, separate living and dining rooms, and bedroom wings. Windowed kitchens, oversized windows, multiple exposures and extensive closet storage recur in the layouts. In-unit washer dryers and central air conditioning may be installed with board approval.

The full service staff includes a 24 hour doorman and a live-in resident manager. The building also has a fitness room, children's playroom, central laundry room, resident storage, bike storage and a full service garage. Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted.

The building is on East 72nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, three blocks east of Central Park. Madison Avenue shopping and the museums along Fifth Avenue are several blocks west, while the 6 train stops at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue and at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue.

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.
