1067 Fifth Avenue is one of the genuine rarities of the Park-facing market: a thirteen-story limestone cooperative completed in 1917, designed by C. P. H. Gilbert in the Châteauesque style, with a single full-floor apartment on each residential floor. It was only the second luxury residential building erected on Fifth Avenue — following 998 Fifth a few blocks south — and it remains the Upper East Side's only example of the Châteauesque applied to a high-rise. The façade, carved with French Gothic detail and a menagerie of salamanders, dragons, and dolphins worked into the stone, is unmistakable on a stretch of avenue defined by restraint.
For buyers, the proposition is simple and exceptional: a private full-floor home directly on Central Park, in a twelve-unit building, behind one of the most distinctive façades on Fifth. This is trophy inventory in the truest sense — scarce, architecturally singular, and almost never available.
Architecture and unit composition
C. P. H. Gilbert, who had built his reputation on the mansions of the Gilded Age elite, brought that vocabulary vertical here. The limestone elevation carries elaborate carved ornamentation, French Gothic window surrounds, and a richly worked roofline — the only high-rise expression of the Châteauesque on the Upper East Side, and a building that still wears its original face.
The plan is the building's signature: one spacious, elegant apartment per floor, several configured as duplexes, every home looking out over Central Park. Full-floor living means private elevator-landing arrival, grand entertaining proportions, Park frontage along the principal rooms, and the privacy that only a single-residence floor provides. These are large, formal homes built for a particular kind of Fifth Avenue life, and the building's tiny unit count keeps them among the most sought-after on the avenue.
Building operations
1067 Fifth operates as a white-glove, full-service cooperative. The lobby is attended by a full-time doorman, with a live-in superintendent and the discreet, high-touch staffing that residents of a building this size and pedigree expect. With only twelve apartments, the building runs quietly and personally; this is a co-op defined by privacy and stewardship rather than a long amenity roster.
As an early-twentieth-century Fifth Avenue cooperative within the Metropolitan Museum Historic District, exterior work is governed by Landmarks review, which has preserved Gilbert's façade intact. Purchases clear through a board application and interview, and prospective buyers should expect the rigorous financial and reference review customary at the top tier of the Fifth Avenue market.

What to know if you’re buying
Buying here means buying a piece of Fifth Avenue history — a full-floor Park-facing home behind a landmark-quality façade, in a twelve-unit building. The rewards are scale, privacy, and an architectural address with no real peer. Plan accordingly: this is a top-tier co-op with a serious board process, and homes of this size and pedigree command commensurate pricing, maintenance, and preparation. Because availability is so rare, a buyer focused on this building should be positioned to move quickly and decisively when a floor comes to market.
What to know if you’re selling
A seller at 1067 Fifth holds something genuinely scarce, and the marketing should say so. The story is the Châteauesque façade, the C. P. H. Gilbert authorship, the one-apartment-per-floor plan, and the direct Central Park frontage — a combination that exists nowhere else on the avenue. Benchmark against the full-floor and duplex Fifth Avenue trophy market rather than against more common pre-war stock. Presentation and discretion matter enormously at this level; the right buyer pool is small, well advised, and responsive to a property that is correctly positioned as the rarity it is.
