875 5Th Ave

875 Fifth Avenue is a prewar, full-service cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1940 and rising 19 stories with 43 residences. Designed by Emery Roth in a Style Moderne with Art Deco influences, the façade and lobby convey restrained period elegance. Units are large two- to four-bedroom plans that preserve classic prewar details: high ceilings, plaster moldings, built-ins, formal foyers and galleries, generous closets and original dining ovals or elongated entertaining rooms. Many homes offer expansive, park-facing exposures and corner sightlines across Central Park and the skyline. Common areas and services reflect white-glove, apartment-house living: 24-hour doorman and attended elevators, live-in resident manager, concierge-style staffing, and a staffed lobby. Building amenities include a private fitness center, business room, communal garden, bike room, central laundry and individual storage bins; select listings note building storage and a ground-floor windowed room used for supplemental storage or work. The co-op permits pieds-à-terre and limited financing (generally up to 50%); pets are typically not allowed. Residents benefit from direct proximity to Central Park, high-end retailers, museums and Upper East Side dining, with subway access a few blocks away.
