1105 Park Avenue carries one of the most valuable architectural attributions in residential New York: it is an early Rosario Candela design, completed in 1923 at the northeast corner of Park and 89th Street. Candela would go on to author the most coveted apartment houses on Park and Fifth in the late 1920s and early 1930s — 740 Park, 770 Park, 834 and 960 Fifth among them — and 1105 belongs to the formative phase of that career, before the celebrated terraced setbacks but already showing the proportion and detail that defined his work.
The building sits squarely in Carnegie Hill, the stretch of Park Avenue north of 86th that became one of the city's premier family residential enclaves. Built for the Paterno family — developers whose name is attached to a remarkable share of the era's best buildings — 1105 was designed as a serious cooperative-grade apartment house from the start, with the limestone base, ornamented entrance, and red-brick body that signal pre-war Park Avenue pedigree. The sculptural figures flanking the entrance, supporting a broken pediment, are among the building's most identifiable features.
The building converted to cooperative ownership in 1951 and today sits within the Park Avenue Historic District, designated in 2014. For a buyer, 1105 offers what the best Carnegie Hill co-ops do — a Candela name, gracious pre-war layouts, and serious full-time service — paired with a comparatively flexible board posture: pets are welcome and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted, neither of which can be taken for granted on this stretch of Park.
Architecture and unit composition
The exterior is textbook pre-war Park Avenue: a limestone base, a red-brick body, and an ornamented limestone entrance distinguished by sculptural figures supporting a broken pediment — a flourish that marks 1105 out from its more austere neighbors. Candela's hand shows in the proportion and the disciplined fenestration even at this early point in his career.
Inside, the apartments deliver the layouts that make Candela buildings perennially desirable: gracious entry galleries, separated public and private wings, high ceilings, and the generous room counts of solid 1920s construction. With roughly 57 apartments across 14 floors, the building runs only a few homes to a landing — a low-density plan that produces privacy, quiet, and large floor plates. In-unit washer/dryers are permitted, a meaningful modern convenience in a building of this vintage.
Building operations
1105 Park Avenue is a full-service pre-war cooperative. Service includes a 24-hour doorman and concierge and a live-in resident manager. Amenities run deep for a building this size: a fitness center, a central laundry room, a bike room, and private storage for residents. The cooperative is pet-friendly, in-unit washer/dryers are allowed, and financing is permitted up to 50% of the purchase price. A 2% flip tax applies on resale and is paid by the buyer — an arrangement worth noting in any offer math, since it differs from the more common seller-paid structure. Several commercial garages are available within a short walk.

Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a pre-war cooperative, so a purchase clears a full board package and interview, and buyers should plan for a 50% financing cap — at least half the purchase price in cash. The board is comparatively accommodating in other respects: pets are welcome and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted, both genuine advantages on Park Avenue. Note the flip-tax structure carefully — at 1105 the 2% flip tax is paid by the buyer at closing, not the seller, so it should be built into the offer math from the outset.
The Candela attribution and the large pre-war layouts are the assets to underwrite. High floors, original detail, and quality renovations command the premium. We help buyers read the package, benchmark the exact line, account for the buyer-paid flip tax, and structure an offer the board will approve.
What to know if you’re selling
The marketing leads with the name: an early Rosario Candela building on Carnegie Hill, with a distinctive sculptural entrance and gracious pre-war layouts inside the Park Avenue Historic District. That pedigree is a durable differentiator against the avenue's plainer pre-war stock. Pair it with the deep service package — 24-hour doorman and concierge, resident manager, fitness center — and the board's pet- and washer/dryer-friendly posture.
Price against the Carnegie Hill and Park Avenue pre-war co-op set, positioning high-floor and renovated homes at the top of the building's range. The buyer-paid flip tax is a point to handle proactively in negotiations. We position each line against its true comparable set and manage the board process from accepted offer through closing.
