1160 Park Avenue — known as The Holland Court — is a 14-story pre-war cooperative at the northwest corner of Park Avenue and East 92nd Street, in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Completed in 1926 to designs by George F. Pelham, one of the most prolific apartment-house architects of pre-war Manhattan, it is a red-brick neo-Renaissance building over a limestone base, sitting directly across the avenue from the Brick Presbyterian Church and a short walk from Central Park, Museum Mile, and the cluster of independent schools that anchors the neighborhood.
The building's appeal is its scale and its location. At roughly 54 apartments across 14 floors, The Holland Court is an intimate cooperative — the kind of small, well-staffed pre-war house where the doorman knows the residents and turnover is measured. Carnegie Hill is the quietest, most residential pocket of the Upper East Side, prized for its low-rise streetscape, its concentration of museums and schools, and a setting that feels removed from the density of the avenues to the south while remaining minutes from them.
For buyers, 1160 Park represents the Carnegie Hill value proposition: substantial pre-war layouts in a full-service, white-glove cooperative, within a historic district that protects the character of the block, at a corner address one block from the park. It is a pet-friendly building — not universal among Park Avenue co-ops — with a modern fitness center, which broadens its appeal beyond the traditional pre-war buyer.
Architecture and unit composition
The roughly 54 apartments span 14 stories, giving the building a low density that translates into generous floor plans. As a 1926 Pelham design, the residences carry the era's hallmarks: gracious principal rooms, formal entry foyers, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and the kind of pre-war proportion that defines Park Avenue. The corner siting at 92nd Street gives many lines dual exposures and strong light, with avenue-facing apartments looking out over Park Avenue's landscaped malls.
The red-brick body over a limestone base is a recognizable Carnegie Hill type, contributing to the uniform, dignified streetwall the historic district was created to protect. Floor height, exposure, and renovation condition are the variables that separate otherwise comparable homes.
Building operations
The Holland Court is a full-service white-glove cooperative. Staffing includes a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and a porter. On-site amenities include a renovated fitness center, a bike room, and private storage with individual bins — an unusually deep package for a building of this size.
The board permits financing up to 50% of the purchase price, the standard for white-glove Park Avenue cooperatives, and the building is pet-friendly. As with most pre-war Park Avenue co-ops, purchases are subject to board review and an interview, and a board package and references are part of the process.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01504-0031) 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 scale and pedigree are the draw. A ~54-unit George F. Pelham cooperative on a Park Avenue corner delivers pre-war proportion in an intimate, well-staffed house.
Plan for 50% financing. The board caps financing at half the purchase price; structure your offer and underwriting accordingly.
It's pet-friendly with a real amenity set. The fitness center, bike room, and individual storage — plus a pet-welcoming board — broaden the building's appeal beyond the traditional pre-war buyer.
Historic-district protection is a structural asset. The Carnegie Hill designation stabilizes the block and governs exterior change.
Expect a full board process. A board package, references, and an interview are part of buying here, on the white-glove Park Avenue model.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the name, the architect, and the corner. The Holland Court, a Pelham pre-war on a Park Avenue corner in Carnegie Hill, is a concrete, marketable identity.
The amenities and pet policy widen the buyer pool. A renovated gym, storage, bike room, and a pet-friendly board are differentiators against more traditional pre-war neighbors.
Price by exposure and condition. Corner light, floor height, and renovation status separate comparable apartments; line-specific analysis matters in a small building.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Generally six to ten weeks from contract to closing, subject to board scheduling.
