1150 Park Avenue is the youngest of the great pre-war Park Avenue cooperatives — one of the very last large apartment houses built on the corridor before WWII halted residential construction. The 1940 building represents a specific architectural-history moment within the broader Park Avenue residential tradition: the late-pre-war Art Moderne sub-era that produced a small group of George Fred Pelham Jr. commissions in 1939–1941 (1150 Park 1940; 785 Park Avenue 1940; 50 Park Avenue 1940). Pelham Jr. also designed 1130 Park Avenue, producing a distinct late-pre-war Park Avenue body of work that bridges the Candela boom of the late 1920s and the post-WWII building cycle that would begin in 1948.
The architectural register at 1150 Park is Art Moderne — a structurally distinct architectural argument from the broader Italian Renaissance / Georgian Park Avenue mainline that defined the 1920s residential building cycle. Pelham Jr. chose a quiet red-brick palette specifically to complement the Reformed Church of the Heavenly Rest across the avenue and the surrounding Carnegie Hill streetscape. Published architectural histories document the strategy: the palette was deliberately understated — Pelham Jr. resisted the streamlined ornamentation that defined Moderne work of the 1930s in favor of muted forms with corner windows and setback terraces on the upper floors.
The setback-terrace architectural composition produces apartment-level outdoor space on the upper-floor configurations — a structural amenity uncommon among pre-war Park Avenue cooperatives.
The 1972 cooperative conversion places 1150 Park among the post-war Park Avenue conversions of the broader corridor; the cooperative culture has been continuously refined for more than five decades.
Architecture and unit composition
The 89 original apartments (some subsequently combined) distribute across the building's 19 stories in configurations carrying the late-pre-war Park Avenue layout discipline. Apartment configurations are typically 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom layouts — meaningfully smaller than the Carpenter-Candela apartment-house giants on lower Park Avenue, and characteristic of the late-pre-war building cycle that produced 1150 Park.
Many apartments retain the Art Moderne corner windows and the upper-floor setback terraces; specific apartment-level Art Moderne interior detailing has variously been preserved or modernized through the building's eight-plus decades of operation.
Recent -marketed sales documented at the building have placed pricing within the Carnegie Hill blue-chip range without the trophy-cooperative premium characteristic of the Carpenter and Candela commissions further south on Park Avenue.
Building operations
1150 Park operates as a full-service cooperative with full-time doorman, live-in resident superintendent, fitness center, central laundry room, bicycle room, and private storage. The cooperative culture is calibrated to the late-pre-war Park Avenue tradition.
Specific cooperative policy details (financing maximum, flip tax structure, pet policy, pied-à-terre allowance, sublet duration limits) should be verified directly with management.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01503-0038) and verified listing data. 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
The Pelham Jr. late-pre-war architectural register is structurally distinguishing. The Art Moderne vocabulary is uncommon on Park Avenue; the small group of 1939–1941 Pelham Jr. Park Avenue commissions represents a specific architectural-history sub-era.
The 1940 vintage represents the close of the pre-war Park Avenue building cycle. Among the last large apartment houses built on the corridor before WWII; the architectural moment is structurally consequential.
The upper-floor setback terraces are real apartment-level features. Outdoor space uncommon among pre-war Park Avenue cooperatives.
Apartment scale reflects the late-pre-war building cycle. 89 apartments across 19 stories; 3- and 4-bedroom configurations characteristic of the late-pre-war planning idiom rather than the Carpenter-Candela full-floor scale.
The Park Avenue Historic District protection applies. Designated LP-2547 by the NYC LPC on April 29, 2014.
Verify operational specifics during due diligence. Specific board approval framework, financing structure, flip tax, sublet duration limits, current capital project pipeline, and the LL11 façade cycle on the 1940 vintage should be reviewed.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Plan for 6–10 weeks from contract through board approval to closing.
What to know if you’re selling
Marketing should emphasize the Pelham Jr. late-pre-war architectural credential and the Art Moderne register. Both are structural identity features distinct from the broader Park Avenue pre-war cooperative tradition.
The upper-floor setback terraces are real marketing assets. Apartment-level outdoor space supports premium positioning relative to peer pre-war cooperative inventory.
Pricing should reference recent comparable closings. Carnegie Hill blue-chip range; specific apartment-line comparables should anchor positioning.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard.
