740 PARK AVENUE at 740 Park Avenue Building Details
Regarded as one of the most prestigious residential buildings in the world, 740 Park Avenue epitomizes prewar luxury and old-world Manhattan elegance. Completed in 1930, this legendary cooperative was developed by James T. Lee (the grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) and designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela in collaboration with Arthur Loomis Harmon. Widely celebrated for its grand scale and impeccable design, 740 Park Avenue has long been the pinnacle of New York's social and financial elite.
The limestone-clad building features Candela's signature architectural elements: gracious setbacks, symmetrical facades, and a stately entrance adorned with wrought-iron detailing. Known for its oversized apartments - often spanning entire floors - 740 Park Avenue provides some of the largest and most meticulously designed residences in Manhattan.
Inside, homes are masterpieces of prewar craftsmanship, featuring soaring ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, elegant crown moldings, and herringbone hardwood floors. Layouts are designed for grand entertaining, with formal dining rooms, expansive living rooms, and impressive entry galleries. Many residences also include staff quarters, libraries, and multiple fireplaces, while renovated units incorporate modern chef's kitchens and spa-quality bathrooms without compromising their historic charm.
A symbol of prestige, 740 Park Avenue has been home to many of New York's most influential families, from the Rockefellers and Kochs to high-profile financiers and business moguls. Its discreet, white-glove service and strict co-op board reinforce its status as one of the city's most exclusive addresses.
