201 East 79th Street is a 21-story white brick cooperative originally constructed in 1964 and converted to a co-op in 1969. Located on the prime northeast corner of East 79th Street and Third Avenue, this 168-unit full service building features a step-up entrance, deep lobby with canopied entrance, and attractive sidewalk landscaping. The building's consistent fenestration includes distinctive angled windows near the top floors and balconies on select units, creating an elegant architectural presence on this lively Upper East Side corridor.
The building has recently undergone a comprehensive multi-year renovation that has transformed both its infrastructure and amenities. Notable improvements include a completely new façade with revolutionary rainscreen technology featuring advanced air and water flow systems, brand new elevators, upgraded heating and cooling systems, renovated hallways and lobby, and enhanced security with a new camera system. Residents now enjoy a redesigned private garden, a newly opened rooftop deck, and modernized common areas that position the building for long term structural and financial stability.

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.
