936 Fifth Avenue is an 18 story, 32 unit cooperative built in 1955 and designed by H.J. Harmon, occupying a prestigious corner location at 75th Street and Fifth Avenue. The building stands on historically significant ground, having replaced two grand mansions once owned by notable figures including Simon Guggenheim, Otto H. Kahn, and Edwin Gould. One mansion was designed by the renowned firm Carrère & Hastings, while the other was created by Warren & Wetmore. Though architectural critics have described the building's design as modest, its quiet location directly across from the historic Commonwealth Fund Building and exceptional Central Park views make it highly coveted.
The building offers white glove service with a full time doorman, elevator attendant, and live-in resident manager, along with amenities including a fitness center and laundry room. Residents can finance up to 50% of their purchase, with a 4% flip tax paid by the buyer. The co-op welcomes pied-à-terre ownership and foreign buyers on a case by case basis, though dogs are not permitted. With only 32 units across 18 floors, the building maintains an exclusive, boutique atmosphere with semi-private elevator landings.
Apartments typically feature spectacular Central Park views, with many units offering direct park frontage and some boasting private terraces. Common luxury features include herringbone and inlaid wood floors, custom built-ins and closets, windowed kitchens and bathrooms, and high end appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Miele, and Wolf. Several apartments include staff rooms, and many have been configured as classic six or seven room layouts. The penthouse is particularly notable as a duplex spanning 3,800 square feet with over 2,400 square feet of private terraces, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, a marble clad gallery with double height ceilings, and state-of-the-art systems including Crestron/Lutron controls.

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.
