755 Park Avenue

Overview of 755 Park Avenue

755 Park Avenue is a distinguished prewar cooperative built in 1914 by Rouse & Goldstone in the Italian Renaissance palazzo style. Located at the prestigious corner of Park Avenue and East 72nd Street, this 12 story building houses just 46 units, having been converted from its original 38 apartments when it became a co-op in 1955. The building replaced the historic Freundschaft Club, which had been designed by the renowned firm McKim, Mead & White in 1889. Its prime location places residents steps from Central Park, the Asia Society, The Frick Collection, and Madison Avenue's luxury shopping corridor.

The building's apartments showcase classic prewar grandeur with soaring ceilings over 10 feet, original herringbone floors, and elegant architectural details including crown moldings, decorative fireplaces, and oversized windows offering Park Avenue views. Many units feature private elevator landings, gracious galleries, and sophisticated layouts with separate bedroom wings for privacy. One notable 12 room residence spanning over 5,300 square feet was personally designed by legendary architect Rosario Candela in 1934, featuring 100 feet of Park Avenue frontage and three fireplaces. 

Some apartments feature chef caliber kitchens equipped with top of the line appliances from Sub-Zero, Viking, Miele, and Thermador, along with butler's pantries, wine storage, and custom cabinetry. Many units include staff rooms, in-unit laundry, and abundant storage throughout. The building's white glove service includes a full time doorman, live-in super, on-site porters, plus amenities such as a fitness center, private storage, bike storage, and laundry facilities. The cooperative allows pets and pied-à-terres, permits financing up to 40%, and charges a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer.
