Overview of 825 Fifth Avenue

Located on the prestigious stretch of Fifth Avenue between 63rd and 64th Streets, 825 Fifth Avenue is one of New York City’s most distinguished white-glove cooperatives. Designed by renowned architect J. E. R. Carpenter in 1927, this neo-classical, 23-story tower offers a rare level of service, including a 24-hour doorman, concierge service, elevator attendant, and room service from the private residents-only restaurant.

The building features 64 apartments, down from its original 77, and offers several amenities such as an outdoor cocktail/dining terrace, a laundry room, private storage, and sidewalk landscaping. Pets are welcome, and residents also enjoy the services of a live-in superintendent.

A standout feature of the building is its striking red-tiled, hipped roof, which contributes to its prominent position on Fifth Avenue’s skyline facing Central Park. While the location is ideal for access to Midtown and the park, the building does experience frequent parades. The design of 825 Fifth Avenue, originally planned with a medieval castellated form, was later revised to a more conventional classical façade, maintaining its elegance and charm as one of the handsomest pre-war buildings on Fifth Avenue.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "grand dame" of Fifth Avenue offers "civilized" prewar living with coveted Central Park views. Distinguished by "generously proportioned" one-bedroom layouts that were "thoughtfully designed" as such from the start, this prestigious address stands out for its "rare" private dining room for residents. One of the "few remaining" prewar Fifth Avenue buildings maintaining its original architectural integrity.

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.
