1175 Park Avenue is an Emery Roth building from 1925 — and an Emery Roth East Side commission is unusual. Roth's portfolio is heavily concentrated on the West Side, where his pre-war work includes The Beresford (211 Central Park West), The San Remo (145–146 CPW), The Eldorado (300 CPW), and The St. Urban (285 CPW), along with additional commissions on Central Park West and the West End Avenue corridor. The Roth name on the East Side appears comparatively rarely, which makes 1175 Park a particular kind of credential in the Park Avenue corridor.
The building was developed by George Backer Construction, a substantial New York developer of the era. The combination of Backer's development resources and Roth's mature 1925 apartment-design discipline produced a 15-story, 49-apartment cooperative with apartment configurations and public spaces executed at the construction-quality peak of the era.
What structurally distinguishes 1175 Park from typical Park Avenue cooperative inventory is the elevator configuration: two private elevator landings per floor, producing direct private-vestibule entry and dividing the floor into two separately-served wings. The configuration is unusually private even by tier-one Park Avenue standards; most Park Avenue buildings have a single elevator landing serving three to six apartments per floor.
The 1925 vintage at 1175 Park places the building in Roth's mature apartment-design period, before the larger and more theatrical Central Park West Art Deco towers (The Eldorado 1931, The San Remo 1930) but after his earlier West Side work. The apartment-design discipline visible at 1175 Park belongs to the same tradition that would produce those subsequent towers, executed at the Park Avenue residential scale.
The northern Carnegie Hill positioning at 93rd–94th Street places 1175 Park near the residential corridor's northern anchor. The Jewish Museum is one block south at 92nd and Fifth. The Cooper Hewitt is three blocks south at 90th and Fifth. The dense Carnegie Hill cooperative inventory of the upper 80s and 90s surrounds the building.
For buyers, 1175 Park represents a particular tier of Carnegie Hill Park Avenue inventory: unusual Emery Roth East Side authorship, two-private-elevator-landings-per-floor configuration producing exceptional apartment privacy, George Backer Construction development pedigree, and northern Carnegie Hill positioning at the Museum Mile northern reach.
Architecture and unit composition
The 49 apartments span configurations from approximately 2,000 sf 2BRs to substantially larger 4–5 BR and full-floor configurations across the 15 stories. The two-elevator-landing configuration on each floor produces uniformly private apartment entries.
Roth's 1925 signatures throughout: 10–11 foot ceilings in primary rooms, formal entry galleries, library-living room combinations, primary suites with substantial closet infrastructure, service wings characteristic of staffed 1920s service. The 1925 vintage represents Roth's mature pre-war apartment-design discipline.
Park Avenue-facing apartments on the western flank look across to the Park Avenue median plantings and the buildings on the avenue's west side.
Building operations
1175 Park Avenue operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with full-time doorman, attended elevator, on-site superintendent, and private storage. The 49-apartment scale and two-elevator-landings-per-floor configuration produce moderate operational density.
Specific policy details (financing posture, flip tax structure, sublet policy specifics, pied-à-terre allowance) should be confirmed directly with property management during due diligence. The board posture follows tier-one Carnegie Hill pre-war norms.

What to know if you’re buying
The Emery Roth East Side credential is rare. Roth's portfolio is concentrated on Central Park West; an East Side Roth commission of this scale is uncommon, making 1175 Park's architectural credential a particular asset within Park Avenue inventory.
The two private elevator landings per floor is the structural distinguisher. Apartment privacy at 1175 Park materially exceeds the typical Park Avenue arrangement.
The northern Carnegie Hill positioning is structural. Walking proximity to the Jewish Museum, Cooper Hewitt, and the broader Museum Mile concentration.
Confirm specific policies directly with management. Financing posture, flip tax structure, sublet specifics, and pied-à-terre allowance should be obtained directly during contract review.
Board approval follows tier-one Carnegie Hill norms. Strong financial profile, professional accomplishment, primary-residence intent are central criteria.
Renovation is constrained by historic district status. The board reviews scope and quality with attention to preservation of original detail.
What to know if you’re selling
The Roth East Side authorship and the two-elevator-landing configuration are differentiating marketing assets. Listing copy should foreground both — Roth's CPW legacy (Beresford, San Remo, Eldorado) is widely recognized, and an East Side Roth credential is a marketing asset worth making explicit.
Pricing requires apartment-level comparable analysis. Floor altitude, exposure, configuration, and renovation history all matter substantially.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. 6–10 weeks from contract signing to closing.
