Pan Am Equities is a Manhattan-based real estate development and property management company, part of the Manocherian family’s portfolio. Headquartered on East 50th Street, it has over 50 years of experience as one of New York’s established residential landlords. The firm now oversees dozens of rental buildings and thousands of apartments across Manhattan, serving neighborhoods from Gramercy and Flatiron to Turtle Bay, Midtown and the Upper East Side. Its properties range from boutique mid-rise conversions to full-service high-rise towers, typically featuring 24/7 doormen and concierge, on-site fitness centers or gyms, furnished lounges or roof decks, and other resident amenities that reflect Pan Am’s focus on amenity-rich urban living.

In addition to Manhattan rentals, Pan Am’s owners have interests beyond city housing: the Manocherian family also owns the New York Health & Racquet Club chain and some suburban apartment communities. Nevertheless, rental apartments remain Pan Am’s core focus. For example, The Caroline at 60 West 23rd Street in Flatiron is a white-glove high-rise with 24/7 concierge and an on-site Life Time fitness club complete with an indoor pool and sauna; this exemplifies Pan Am’s emphasis on luxury amenities. Overall, Pan Am positions its buildings as full-service New York residences blending classic architecture with modern conveniences, aimed at renters seeking a convenient, amenity-rich urban lifestyle.
