1001 5th Ave

Completed in 1978 and rising 23 stories, this full-service cooperative on Fifth Avenue is a post‑modern landmark designed by Philip Johnson (with John Burgee associations) and clad in a distinctive limestone façade. The 76-unit building contains a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, many of which feature oversized bay windows, deep-set picture windows and private balconies or terraces that capture views across the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Interiors vary from gracious prewar-scale layouts—formal entrance foyers, separate dining rooms and large living rooms with fireplaces—to extensively renovated homes with contemporary finishes, high‑end kitchens and integrated laundry setups. Common areas and building services reflect white‑glove standards: 24-hour doorman and concierge, live‑in resident manager/superintendent, lobby attendant, on-site fitness room, bike storage and dedicated storage bins. The co-op allows pets and pied-à-terres, charges a 2% flip tax on resale and typically permits up to 50% financing on approved purchases. Located on Museum Mile between East 81st and 83rd Streets, the building places residents directly across from the Met with immediate access to Central Park, nearby subway lines, bus routes, world-class cultural institutions, boutique shopping and fine dining.
