Overview of 140 East 40th Street

140 East 40th Street was designed in 1930 by Bien & Prince (designer of the Carlyle Hotel) and converted to a 98-unit cooperative in 1980. The building features a grand Art Deco lobby with terrazzo floors, Le Corbusier designed seating, a sleek fireplace and is attended seven days a week by a part-time security guard. Other notable building attributes include two relatively new elevators, central laundry, personal storage, bike storage, package room, live-in super and a fully furnished and landscaped roof deck with magnificent views of the Empire State Building.

The building allows pied-a-terre buyers as well as co-purchasing, but not dogs. It is in a prime Murray Hill location near Grand Central Terminal, fine dining, shopping, and nightlife.

Carter’s Review

"This very attractive, 14-story, Art Deco-style apartment building was erected in 1930. It was converted to a cooperative in 1980 and has 98 units.

The mid-block building has slightly protruding center piers that culminate in two short towers and these piers are accented by black and brown masonry patterning with dark, narrow balconies at the top and bottom. The building has consistent, multi-paned fenestration, a doorman, a nice red terracotta cornice with a geometric design, and some terraces. The canopied entrance is flanked by wall lanterns and leads to a five-step-down vestibule."

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.
