Overview of 45 East 72nd Street

45 East 72nd Street is an intimate 18 story white brick co-op built in 1959 and converted in 1970, featuring just 45 apartments with only three units per floor. Located between Park and Madison Avenues, the building sits one block from Central Park on one of the Upper East Side's most prestigious streets. The building showcases a two story polished gray granite base with a canopied entrance leading to a renovated step-down lobby, though there is no garage and the nearest subway station requires a bit of a walk.

The building offers comprehensive white glove service with 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, resident manager, and elevator attendants. Recent renovations include a refreshed lobby and hallways, plus amenities like a fitness center, bike room, central laundry room, and private storage. The building is pet friendly and allows up to 65% financing, with co-purchasing and guarantors considered case by case, though a 2% flip tax is paid by the buyer.

Apartments typically feature split bedroom layouts for maximum privacy, with many units offering south facing exposures overlooking tree lined 72nd Street and some providing glimpses of Central Park or the charming townhouse gardens to the north. 

The building offers exceptional scale opportunities, from typical two and three bedroom layouts to a sprawling nearly 4,000 square foot five bedroom residence. The intimate setting with minimal neighbors per floor, combined with the prime location steps from Central Park and surrounded by world class dining, shopping, and cultural institutions, makes this a highly sought after address for discerning buyers.

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.
