1280 5Th Ave

One Museum Mile (1280 Fifth Avenue) is a 19-story condominium completed in 2008 and designed by Robert A.M. Stern with interiors by Andre Kikoski. The building contains roughly 116 residences ranging from alcove studios to multi-bedroom homes, many configured as two-bedroom layouts with high ceilings, generous closets and features such as breakfast bars, separate dining rooms, dens, marble counters and double vanities. Units commonly include private outdoor space—balconies or oversized terraces—large picture windows framing direct Central Park and Manhattan skyline views, and in-unit washers/dryers. Public spaces emphasize curated materials and artwork, highlighted by a dramatic alabaster-inspired art-glass wall in the lobby. Shared amenities are extensive: full-time doorman and concierge, fitness center with terrace, landscaped roof deck with heated outdoor pool and rooftop dining/lounge areas, residents’ lounge and media room, formal dining/catering suite, children’s playroom and teen game room, bicycle and building storage, and on-site garage parking (for purchase). Building services include a live-in superintendent and discreet peak-time door coverage. Located on Fifth Avenue at Museum Mile in a predominantly cultural and residential stretch bordering Central Park, the building sits atop the Museum for African Art. The neighborhood offers immediate park access, museum institutions, and a quiet, prestigious Fifth Avenue address. The condominium is pet friendly and has historically had a temporary tax abatement for owners.
