910 Fifth Avenue stands as a fascinating example of New York's evolving architectural tastes, originally constructed in 1919 by the renowned Fred F. French Company as an elegant 12 story Italian Renaissance palazzo. The building underwent a dramatic transformation in 1959 when Sylvan Bien, the architect behind the famous Carlyle Hotel, completely rebuilt it into the current 16 story white brick structure. This renovation stripped away the original limestone façade but introduced broader windows that provide superior Central Park views and natural light, expanding the building from its original layout to accommodate 52 apartments.
The building's prime location at the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 72nd Street offers residents direct Central Park access and places them in the heart of the Museum District. Apartments typically feature 11 foot ceilings, oversized windows, and generous proportions, with many units boasting Central Park facing balconies or terraces. The larger residences often include formal dining rooms, staff quarters and extensive built in storage. Notable apartments include a spectacular duplex penthouse spanning the 15th and 16th floors with multiple terraces and 360 degree views.
As a white glove cooperative converted in 1978, 910 Fifth Avenue provides 24 hour doorman service, on-site parking and a fitness center. The building maintains a strict no pet policy but welcomes pied-à-terre ownership. Residents benefit from the building's prestigious address with easy access to Madison Avenue boutiques, world class museums, and Central Park, while enjoying the enhanced natural light and park views that Bien's 1959 renovation prioritized over the original building's ornate but bulkier design.

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.
