740 Park Ave

A landmark prewar cooperative on Park Avenue, the building rises 19 stories and was completed in 1930. Designed by Rosario Candela with Arthur Loomis Harmon, its limestone and Art Deco-inflected façade and elegantly appointed lobby reflect classic Manhattan luxury. Residences are large, mansion-like duplexes and multi-room apartments—commonly five-bedroom layouts—featuring private elevator landings, sweeping marble galleries, high ceilings, original moldings, hardwood floors, and formal entertaining rooms such as libraries and dining salons. Many units include multiple fireplaces, extensive closet and storage provisions, windowed eat-in kitchens with butler’s pantries, staff/maid quarters, and private outdoor terraces of various sizes. Common building services are full white-glove staff with door attendants and porters, a resident manager, private storage, and an in-house fitness facility. Elevator access serves private vestibules; the building enforces cooperative governance and a buyer-paid transfer fee. Located on Park Avenue in the Lenox Hill/Upper East Side corridor, the setting provides immediate access to Central Park, museum and cultural institutions, upscale dining, and a highly residential, quiet urban environment beloved for its prewar elegance.
