1030 Fifth Avenue, designed by renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter in 1925, stands as one of Manhattan's most prestigious prewar cooperatives. This neo-Italian Renaissance style building rises 13 stories and contains just 16 luxury apartments, featuring a distinguished limestone façade with a four-story rusticated base.
The building offers exceptional full-floor residences characterized by soaring 10-foot ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and private elevator landings. The apartments showcase sweeping views of Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with many units featuring grand entertaining spaces and sophisticated layouts designed for both comfort and elegance.
Residents enjoy white-glove service with full-time doorman, elevator operator, and a dedicated resident manager. The building's amenities include a newly renovated architecturally significant lobby, fitness room, laundry facilities, and private storage in the cellar. The cooperative permits financing up to 30% of the purchase price and includes a 2% flip tax paid by purchasers.
The building's prestigious history includes notable residents such as Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols (who acquired Robert Redford's former penthouse), Christine Wasserstein, and hedge fund founder Karen Fleiss and her husband Dr. David Fleiss.
Situated at the corner of 84th Street, the building enjoys a prime location across from the Marymount School and near the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The side-street entrance provides convenient access to cross-town bus service and the 84th Street transverse through Central Park.
The building's exterior is enhanced by lush sidewalk landscaping and decorative window boxes, while the limestone façade is crowned by an attractive rooftop water tank. The limited number of residences ensures privacy and exclusivity, making it one of Fifth Avenue's most sought-after addresses.

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.
