McKim, Mead & White (active 1879–1961) produced the era's defining Beaux-Arts residential and institutional Manhattan portfolio. The firm's surviving apartment commission of greatest market relevance is 998 Fifth Avenue (1912) — the 27-unit Italian Renaissance Revival cooperative directly across from the Metropolitan Museum, designed for the city's leading early-20th-century financial families. 998 Fifth's full-floor configurations and tightly held ownership produce some of the slowest residential turnover on Fifth Avenue, with off-market trades accounting for most of the building's annual activity. The firm's apartment work is rare in the Manhattan luxury inventory, which is why surviving examples command durable premium positioning.
