Overview of 936 Fifth Avenue

Built in 1955 and designed by H.J. Harmon, 936 Fifth Avenue is an 18-story, 32-unit cooperative at the southeast corner of 75th Street and Fifth Avenue. Offering white-glove service, the building features a full-time doorman, elevator attendant, resident manager, fitness center, and laundry room. Residents can finance up to 50% of their purchase, with a 4% flip tax paid by the buyer.

Located on Museum Mile, the building enjoys a prime, tranquil setting across from the historic Commonwealth Fund Building. It stands on the former site of two grand mansions once owned by figures like Simon Guggenheim, Otto H. Kahn, and Edwin Gould. While its design has been noted as architecturally modest, the building offers exceptional Central Park views, a prestigious address, and an exclusive residential atmosphere with only a handful of apartments.

Carter’s Review

"This 18-story, 32-unit cooperative building was erected in 1955 and designed by H. J. Harmon. Directly across from the superb Commonwealth Fund Building with its attractive, tall, wrought-iron fence at 1 East 75th Street that was designed by Hale & Rogers in 1908 for Edward S. Harkness, an original partner in Standard Oil, this building has a magnificent, quiet location on Fifth Avenue s Museum Mile. This building replaced two famous mansions. The corner site had been previously owned by Simon Guggenheim and then Otto H. Kahn and in 1907 Mrs. Grace Rainey Rogers commissioned Carr¿re & Hastings to built her a townhouse on the site and sold it two years later to Edwin Gould, whose family owned it until 1953. The other house, one in from the corner, was designed by Warren & Wetmore in 1910 for S. Reading Bertron. In their excellent book, "New York 1960, Architecture and Urbanism Between The Second World War And The Bicentennial," (The Monacelli Press, 1995), Robert A. M. Stern, Thomas Mellins and David Fishman noted the building designed by Harmon Associates on the site was "architecturally undistinguished...one more addition to the avenue that was more memorable for what it replaced than what it contributed," adding that "its upper-level setbacks presented disorganized, asymmetrical profiles to both Seventy-fifth Street and Fifth Avenue." The relatively plain building, which has a penthouse with a large bay window, nonetheless, has a magnificent, quiet location, great Central Park views and very few apartments."

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.
