Built in 1929 in the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Jacobean styles, 730 Park Avenue was designed by F. Burrall Hoffman Jr. and Lafayette A. Goldstone. This 20-story prewar cooperative stands on the southwest corner of Park Avenue and 71st Street. Originally part of the Presbyterian Hospital site, the building was converted to a cooperative in 1945 and now contains 40 generously proportioned apartments, each reflecting the golden age of New York apartment construction.
The red-brick façade is enhanced by a two-story limestone base, a tall, ornately detailed chimney, and intricate ornamentation, including a large ram's head at the Park Avenue corner. The grand four-story entrance surround, located on a quiet side street, features a canopied entry.
The building provides full-service white-glove living with 24-hour doormen, a concierge, elevator operators, and a live-in Resident Manager. Amenities include a newly renovated fitness center and private storage. The cooperative permits pets, has a 3% flip tax paid by the purchaser, and allows 50% financing.
Over the years, 730 Park Avenue has been home to distinguished residents such as author Edna Ferber, composer Richard Rodgers, and members of the Newhouse family. Its duplex penthouses, featuring expansive layouts and Park Avenue views, have been owned by prominent individuals, including Joann Walker, Karen Lauder, and Mike Wallace.
Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, the building is surrounded by Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques, premier art galleries, and cultural landmarks like the Frick Collection and the Asia Society. With its unique architectural details, historical significance, and prestigious address, 730 Park Avenue is a timeless gem offering exceptional service and elegance in one of Manhattan’s most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
