1040 PARK AVENUE at 1040 Park Avenue Building Details
Rising 14 stories on the northeast corner of Park Avenue and 86th Street, 1040 Park Avenue is a distinguished pre‐war cooperative built in 1924‐25 by the celebrated architectural firm Delano & Aldrich. With a limestone base, a facade that blends Georgian details with Art Deco influences, and a storied history that includes a legendary penthouse once owned by Conde Nast (with interiors by Elsie de Wolfe), this building is a landmark of Upper East Side prestige. With just about 85‐88 residences, it offers intimate scale while still delivering full‐service luxury.

Residences here are graciously proportioned: large living rooms with working fireplaces, formal dining rooms, high ceilings, oversized windows that flood apartments with light, and many units with additional spaces like libraries or office niches. Interiors often retain classic details - wood floors, rich moldings - while many homes have been updated thoughtfully with modern kitchens, renovated bathrooms, and in some cases in‐unit washer/dryers (with board approval). Views toward Park Avenue and toward tree‐lined streets and rooftops enhance the sense of living in a refined, elegant setting.

1040's location is among its greatest assets - just steps from Central Park, Museum Mile, Madison Avenue's boutiques and galleries, and top cultural institutions. The building also combines tranquility with convenience: despite being on Park Avenue, it feels more serene than many busy corners of the city, in part because of its high‐quality construction, service, and careful preservation. Ownership here is selective, with policies and features that support a lifestyle of quiet affluence rather than flash.
