Overview of 1040 Fifth Avenue

1040 Fifth Avenue was completed in 1930 and is located near the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Upper East Side.

Its 27 apartments offer sumptuous but comfortable layouts: each unit has a spacious entrance gallery leading to an even larger, 20- to 30-foot-long living room, along with a library and dining room, each with its own fireplace. The large kitchen, pantry, maid’s room and servant’s hall are discreetly pushed to the back. Apartments also have four or five bedrooms that are situated down a separate hall; all have their own baths and most feature walk-in closets.

But the location of 1040 Fifth Avenue is one of its greatest selling points. Sitting on the northeast corner of 85th Street - one block north of the Metropolitan Museum - it is away from the tumult of tourists but still comfortingly close. This is one of the reasons that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis moved here in 1964 and lived in a full-floor apartment on the 15th floor until her death in 1994. The site also gives residents stunning views west across the Reservoir, now named after her, and into the 3,400-year-old Temple of Dendur on the north side of the museum, which she helped bring to the Met.

Carter’s Review

"One of the tallest apartment houses on Fifth Avenue, this prominent 17-story structure at 1040 Fifth Avenue on the northeast corner at 85th Street has one of the most distinctive rooflines along the avenue.

The building, which was erected in 1930, was designed by Rosario Candela, one of the city's most important designers of luxury apartment buildings in the late 1920's and early 1930's. "

This "Gold Coast" gem offers "impeccable service" with its "attentive" doorman and concierge staff. Located in one of Manhattan's most "coveted neighborhoods," the building benefits from "excellent transit access" and proximity to "top-tier" restaurants, shopping, and schools. While the co-op board maintains "stringent standards," the building's "distinguished architecture" and "prime location" make it a worthy pursuit for discerning buyers seeking a prestigious Village address.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
