A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 1155 Park 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.
1155 Park Avenue is one of the architecturally most consequential pre-WWI cooperatives on Park Avenue and a building structurally distinguished by two architectural pedigrees applied in sequence: the original 1915 design by Robert T. Lyons for Bing & Bing, and the setback penthouses subsequently added by Emery Roth in 1915 and 1922 — among Roth's earliest Park Avenue work, predating his consequential 1920s Central Park West twin-towered apartment commissions.
The 1915 Lyons design is among the earliest large apartment houses on the avenue — it predates the 1920s cooperative boom and Rosario Candela's first Park Avenue buildings of 1922–23. Lyons, who also designed 955 and 993 Park, gave the building a two-story rusticated limestone base with a canopied entrance beneath a bandcourse. Additional bandcourses run beneath the 11th and 14th floors. The roofline notably has no traditional cornice — instead, two gentle curved "bumps" at the north and south ends along Park Avenue. Slightly arched center windows on the 13th-floor avenue elevation, and quoins in two bays at the north and south ends, add the architectural detailing characteristic of Lyons's pre-WWI Park Avenue work.
The Roth-designed setback penthouses added in 1915 and 1922 are visible from across the avenue — among Roth's earliest additions to any Park Avenue building. The architectural pairing of two distinct pre-war architects on the same building is structurally consequential within the broader Park Avenue cooperative tradition.
James Trager's Park Avenue, Street of Dreams records a structurally consequential development decision: Bing & Bing acquired two three-story buildings at 109 and 111 East 91st Street as "light-protectors" — buying them, restricting their height, and eventually selling them with deed restrictions to ensure 1155 Park's south light could not be blocked. The light-protectors were eventually replaced with a 30-foot-wide house designed by S. Edson Gage for I. Townsend Burden. The deed-restricted light-and-air corridor remains a structural feature of 1155 Park's southern exposure.
1155 Park sits opposite the Brick Presbyterian Church and just below the crest of Carnegie Hill, near the Louise Nevelson sculpture installed in the Park Avenue median.
Architecture and unit composition
The 50 cooperative apartments distribute across the building's 13 stories plus the Roth-designed setback penthouses. Apartments are notably large for a 1915 building — organized around a 34-by-32-foot inner courtyard that gives many units a second exposure beyond the Park Avenue or East 92nd Street primary frontage.
Apartment 12SE is configured as a 5-bedroom duplex with a 27-foot living room, 21-foot dining room, 21-foot breakfast room, library, and an 18-foot master bedroom on one floor, with four additional bedrooms and a 24-foot entertainment room below. Apartment 7SW is a 5-bedroom configuration with a 21-foot foyer leading to a 25-foot fireplace-anchored living room and 24-foot dining room.
The apartment scale and the inner-courtyard exposure infrastructure place 1155 Park among the more architecturally substantial pre-WWI Park Avenue cooperatives.
Building operations
1155 Park operates as a full-service cooperative with full-time doorman, fitness center (gym), storage, and bike room. The building does not carry an on-site garage, a separate health club, or apartment-level balcony installations. The cooperative culture is institutional and consistent with the pre-WWI Park Avenue tradition.
The cooperative policy framework — 40 percent maximum financing, 2.5 percent buyer-paid flip tax — supports a structurally specific buyer pool calibrated to the trophy pre-war Park Avenue cooperative tradition.

What to know if you’re buying
The architectural pairing is structural. The Robert T. Lyons 1915 design plus the Emery Roth 1915 and 1922 setback penthouses produce a building with two architect pedigrees applied in sequence — structurally consequential within the broader Park Avenue cooperative tradition.
The 1915 pre-WWI vintage is structurally distinguishing. Among the earliest large apartment houses on Park Avenue; predates the broader 1920s cooperative boom by nearly a decade.
The Bing & Bing light-protector deed restrictions are real. The historic acquisition of 109 and 111 East 91st Street produced the deed-restricted light-and-air corridor that protects 1155 Park's southern exposure.
Apartment scale is substantial. 5-bedroom duplexes with substantial room dimensions; the 34-by-32-foot inner courtyard produces second-exposure conditions for many apartments.
The Roth penthouse pedigree is real. Among Emery Roth's earliest Park Avenue work, predating his consequential Central Park West twin-towered apartment commissions of the late 1920s.
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, sublet duration limits, current capital project pipeline, and the LL11 façade cycle on the 1915 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 Lyons + Roth architectural pairing. Both are structural identity features.
The Bing & Bing developer-and-light-protector history. Trager's Park Avenue, Street of Dreams documents the deed-restriction strategy.
Apartment scale. The 34-by-32-foot inner courtyard, the 5-bedroom duplex configurations, and the substantial room dimensions are real architectural assets.
Pricing should reference recent comparable closings. Recent sales and listings have fallen within the mid-single-digits-to-low-teens range, with duplexes and high-floor units transacting materially higher.
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.
