Carter’s Review

"One of the grandest buildings in the Flatiron District is 141 Fifth Avenue, the southern portion of the building was erected in 1897 and designed by Robert Maynicke and the building was extended to the north in 1900 by architect Henry Edwards Ficken.

In 2009, the top ten floors of the 12-story building, which is distinguished by its fine domed cupola and its curved corner, were converted to use as 38 residential condominiums."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "landmark" former Merchants Bank building brings "stunning" Beaux-Arts architecture to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 20th Street. The "prime location" puts you at the nexus of three parks (Washington Square, Union Square, Madison Square) with "excellent" transit connections. Building offers "white-glove" 24-hour concierge service while the neighborhood delivers a "vibrant mix" of shopping, dining and entertainment options. A "distinguished address" that masterfully preserves its pre-war grandeur.
