Building: 520 Park Avenue

High above Manhattans prestigious Lenox Hill neighborhood, 520 Park Avenue is condominium which transcends luxury, it is an architectural masterpiece, and a symbol of the finest living New York City has to offer. With only 35 residences spread across 54 stories, this ultra-exclusive tower is not just rare; it is one of a kind. Built in 2015, it carries the weight of classic New York elegance while embracing all the attributes of sophisticated modern design.

The Architect & The Vision

Designed by the legendary Robert A.M. Stern, 520 Park Avenue is a love letter to the grand residential buildings of pre-war Manhattan. Stern, renowned for his ability to blend historical grandeur with contemporary luxury, envisioned this tower as a modern classic—a structure that evokes the elegance of limestone-clad icons like 30 Park Place or 220 Central Park South while standing apart as a new landmark of wealth and prestige. The building’s Indiana limestone façade, stately setbacks, and soaring vertical lines recall the refined aesthetic of the Gilded Age, but within, the residences are all golden. Each home is crafted with a meticulous attention to detail, offering expansive layouts, soaring ceilings, and custom finishes that reflect an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.
