Overview of 960 Fifth Avenue

960 Fifth Avenue, completed in 1928, represents the last grand apartment house of Fifth Avenue's transformation from Millionaires' Row mansions to luxury apartments. The 15-story limestone building was designed by the prestigious team of Rosario Candela and Warren & Wetmore, the latter known for Grand Central Terminal. It replaced Senator William Clark's ornate 121-room mansion, which was demolished in 1926.

Most apartments feature unique layouts, with some rising to duplex heights. One of the most notable residences was Preston Pope Satterwhite's apartment on the tenth and eleventh floors, which included a dramatic 60-by-25-foot double-height living room, considered the grandest in any American apartment of its time.

The building is distinguished by its ornate metal marquee and exceptional amenities, including the Georgian Suite - a private dining facility with its own entrance at 1A East 77th Street, staffed by a full-time chef. Additional services include 24-hour doorman service, maid and laundry facilities, and a glass-walled penthouse gym with terrace. The building maintains its position as one of New York's most prestigious addresses, known for its sedate grandeur and prime location away from busy cross-streets.

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.
