Overview of 1040 Park Avenue

1040 Park Avenue is an elegant 14-story cooperative dating back to 1925. The Georgian-style building has Art Deco elements and a three-story limestone base topped by a tortoise-and-hare frieze that has been adopted by the American Association for the Advancement and Appreciation of Animals in Art & Architecture. The penthouse was once home to publisher Conde Montrose Nast, who hosted legendary parties.

The full-service cooperative has a full-time doorman, concierge, and on-site resident manager on staff. Amenities include a fitness center, laundry room, and private storage (with availability). Washer/dryers are permitted with board approval, and pets are allowed. The building is located near the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madison Avenue galleries and designer shopping, and fine dining.

Carter’s Review

"This cooperative apartment house at 1040 Park Avenue on the northwest corner at 86th Street is known for its penthouse that was owned for many years by Condé Nast, the publisher, and its amusing decorative frieze of tortoises and hares.

The handsome but demure building, designed by Delano & Aldrich in a Georgian-style with some hints of Art Deco, was developed by Joseph L. B. Mayer."
