Overview of 812 Fifth Avenue

812 Fifth Avenue is a distinguished co-op building located on the Gold Coast of Manhattan, directly across from Central Park. Built in 1963, this elegant 19-story structure features only 30 residences, ensuring a sense of exclusivity and privacy. The building's limestone façade and terraced design, crafted by architect Robert L. Bien, reflect a sophisticated architectural style that harmonizes with its prestigious surroundings. Notably, the building has been home to prominent figures, including Nelson Rockefeller, who famously connected his residence to the adjacent 810 Fifth Avenue, further enhancing the building's historical significance. Apartments at 812 Fifth Avenue are characterized by their spacious layouts and stunning views of Central Park. Many units feature high ceilings, large picture windows, and luxurious finishes. For instance, Apartment 10A offers a flexible layout with the potential for up to four bedrooms and boasts direct Central Park views from its expansive living spaces. The building provides a range of amenities, including a 24 hour doorman, elevator attendants, and a live-in resident manager, ensuring residents enjoy a high level of service and security. The residences are designed for modern living, with options for customization and ample storage. Notable features include in-unit laundry facilities, central air conditioning, and generous closet space. The building permits pied-Ă -terre arrangements and allows for 50% financing, making it an attractive option for both primary residents and investors. However, it maintains a strict no-pets policy, ensuring a tranquil living environment. With its prime location near luxury shopping, fine dining, and cultural landmarks, 812 Fifth Avenue offers an unparalleled living experience in one of New York City's most sought-after neighborhoods. The combination of elegant design, historical significance, and modern amenities makes this building a unique opportunity 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.
