Overview of 778 Park Avenue
778 Park Avenue is an iconic 18-story pre-war cooperative, designed by the renowned architect Rosario Candela and completed in 1931. Situated on the northwest corner of Park Avenue and 73rd Street, this elegant building is one of the few pre-World War II residential towers to rise above 15 stories on Park Avenue. Candela, famous for designing some of New York’s most glamorous addresses, created a masterpiece here, with a grand Renaissance-inspired façade, a limestone base, and a striking pinnacle that distinguishes it on the skyline.
With only 18 apartments, many of which span entire floors, the residences at 778 Park Avenue are exceptionally spacious, featuring 11-foot ceilings, regal gallery halls, wood-burning fireplaces, and outdoor terraces. These palatial homes boast features such as large arched, multi-paned windows, some with wrought-iron balconies, adding a touch of grace and charm to the living spaces.
The building is known for its privacy and exclusivity, offering full-service amenities such as a 24-hour doorman, resident storage, and bike storage. Residents also enjoy proximity to Central Park, luxury shopping, and renowned cultural institutions on the Upper East Side.
Among the notable past residents are William F. Buckley Jr., Vera Wang, Brooke Astor, and television executive Roone Arledge, adding to the building's illustrious history.

Carter’s Review
"One of the few pre-World War II residential towers to rise above the 15-story height of most of the avenue's apartment buildings, this 18-story apartment building at 778 Park Avenue on the northwest corner at 73rd Street was designed by Rosario Candela for developer Charles Newmark.
Candela is widely considered to have been the country's greatest designer of luxury apartment buildings and he collaborated with many of the city's most famous architectural firms."
