A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 1125 Fifth Avenue would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
1125 Fifth Avenue is one of Emery Roth's most refined Fifth Avenue projects. The defining structural feature is the one-apartment-per-floor configuration: fourteen full-floor residences, an air of privacy and exclusivity rare even on Fifth Avenue.
That one-apartment-per-floor configuration sets the building at the smallest scale of any prestige Carnegie Hill cooperative — only the multi-floor penthouse triplex exceeds full-floor scale. The configuration is the work of a notable pairing. The Roth architectural pedigree at refined Neo-Renaissance form — the same hand behind 875, 993, and 1133 Fifth — sets the building's register, while the Minskoff developer credential carries its own arc: Samuel Minskoff began as a Russian plumber whose sons (Henry, Jerome, Myron) built Sam Minskoff & Sons into a major New York developer, with later projects at The Brevoort, 710 Park Avenue, 1 East 66th Street, 1 Astor Plaza, and the MGM Building.
Architecture and unit composition
Built in 1925 to Emery Roth's design for Samuel Minskoff of Sammis Holding Corporation, 1125 Fifth Avenue is fourteen stories, Neo-Renaissance, executed in limestone and brick. The defining configuration is one apartment per floor — fourteen full-floor residences. The building converted to cooperative ownership in 1951.
Roth's other residential buildings on Fifth include 875, 993, and 1133. The Roth Neo-Renaissance vocabulary at 1125 is more compressed and elegant than at his larger postwar work. The one-apartment-per-floor plan creates an air of privacy and exclusivity rare even on Fifth Avenue.
Samuel Minskoff began as a Russian plumber whose sons (Henry, Jerome, Myron) built the family firm Sam Minskoff & Sons into a major NYC developer. Later Minskoff projects include The Brevoort, 710 Park Avenue, 1 East 66th Street, 1 Astor Plaza, and the MGM Building. The 1125 Fifth commission anchors the family firm's prewar luxury residential body of work.
The full-floor configuration produces substantial corner exposures, generous ceiling heights, and the configuration profile of trophy pre-war Fifth Avenue inventory at the smallest possible scale.
Building operations
1125 Fifth operates as a boutique Carnegie Hill cooperative:
- Full-time doorman
- New fitness center
- Additional storage
With only fourteen residents, the building has the operational profile of a very small private club. The amenity infrastructure is deliberately reserved relative to peer Fifth Avenue cooperatives — the institutional identity rests on the architectural pedigree and the one-apartment-per-floor configuration rather than on amenity-maximalism.
Policy framework
Verified across architectural coverage, broker reporting, and Compass building data:
- Pets: Case-by-case
- Financing: Permitted up to $1,100,000 of the purchase price at the Corporation's discretion — highly restrictive in dollar terms
- Flip tax: 3% of gross purchase price, buyer-paid
- Trust purchases and trust transfers: Permitted — uncommon flexibility for a Fifth Avenue cooperative
- Subletting: Board approval required; restrictive
- LLC ownership: Not typical
- Foreign buyer: Substantial board diligence
- Post-closing liquidity: Substantial Carnegie Hill reserves customary
- Board interview: Required; full financial and personal-reference disclosure
The $1.1 million dollar-denominated financing cap is structurally distinguishing. On a $10 million purchase, only 11% financing is permitted; on a $50 million penthouse purchase, only 2.2%. The policy effectively curates an all-cash or near-all-cash buyer pool at the trophy unit level.
The permitted trust ownership is a uncommonly flexible posture for a prestige Fifth Avenue cooperative.

Notable residents
The building has maintained a private resident profile; widely-reported celebrity sales are limited. The boutique fourteen-resident scale and the one-apartment-per-floor configuration support deliberate discretion typical of trophy Fifth Avenue cooperatives.
Architectural register
1125 Fifth's institutional identity is established by Roth's refined Neo-Renaissance vocabulary and the trophy full-floor configuration, with only one apartment per floor.
What to know if you’re buying
The one-apartment-per-floor configuration is structurally distinguishing. No other Carnegie Hill cooperative carries the same scale; the operational identity approaches a private club.
The $1.1 million dollar-denominated financing cap is the most restrictive on the corridor. Plan accordingly — on trophy units the policy effectively requires all-cash.
The permitted trust ownership is uncommonly flexible. Trust transfers and trust purchases are both permitted with board review — a posture rare for prestige Fifth Avenue cooperatives.
The 3% buyer-paid flip tax is meaningful at closing. Factor into all carrying-cost and net-proceeds calculations — on a $15 million purchase, $450,000 of additional buyer cost.
The Roth / Minskoff architect-developer pedigree is real institutional context. Both names connect to substantial 20th-century New York residential history.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Plan for 6 to 10 weeks from contract through board approval to closing.
What to know if you’re selling
Marketing should emphasize the one-apartment-per-floor configuration and the Roth architectural pedigree. Both are real structural advantages over peer Carnegie Hill cooperative inventory.
The permitted trust ownership policy expands the trophy buyer pool. Position accordingly.
The Minskoff developer credential and the broader family firm's body of work (The Brevoort, 710 Park, 1 East 66th, 1 Astor Plaza, MGM Building) are real institutional context. Reference where appropriate.
Pricing should reference recent full-floor comparables. The boutique fourteen-unit scale means individual closings move building-wide pricing benchmarks.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
