400 Fifth Avenue is one of the tallest mixed-use towers on lower Fifth Avenue — a 60-story limestone-and-glass landmark designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates and developed by Bizzi & Partners, completed in 2010. The upper floors hold the building's condominium residences; the lower floors house a five-star hotel, originally the Setai Fifth Avenue and now Langham Place. The two share the tower but operate separately, with residents entering through a private door on East 36th Street, away from the hotel's Fifth Avenue lobby.
The design is unmistakable. Gwathmey Siegel clad the building in limestone piers and set the windows at a vertical diamond angle, giving the facade a billowy, textured play of light, and crowned the tower with an illuminated, flared top that reads on the Midtown skyline. It was conceived as a serious work of architecture as much as a residential building — the subject of its own monograph — and it remains one of the most recognizable contemporary towers in the area.
For buyers, the proposition is condominium ownership — flexible, liquid, and free of a co-op board — paired with the standing service of an adjacent luxury hotel, on a Fifth Avenue corner that puts Bryant Park, the Empire State Building, Grand Central, and the Midtown core within a short walk.
Building operations
This is a full-service condominium with a hotel behind it. A 24-hour doorman and concierge attend the private residential entrance, a resident manager oversees the building, and the residences have access to the hotel's spa, fitness, and service platform. As a condominium, the building offers flexible financing with no co-op-style cap, a right-of-first-refusal in place of a board admissions process, and customary pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investor ownership. Subletting is permitted under the condominium's rules, which makes the building a practical choice for owners who travel, maintain a second home, or want a serviced Manhattan base. As with any hotel-adjacent condominium, buyers should weigh monthly common charges — which reflect the depth of available service — against the convenience they buy.

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 1-00838-7501) 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
The case for buying here is flexibility plus service. Financing is flexible — no co-op cap. There is no board admissions process — purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal. Pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investment purchases are customary, and the building's hotel platform suits buyers who want a turnkey, serviced home. Weigh the common charges against the hotel amenities they unlock, and prioritize floor and exposure — the diamond-window light and the long views are what set the best apartments apart. The Gwathmey Siegel design and the building's profile give it durable identity in a stretch of Midtown that is otherwise mostly commercial.
What to know if you’re selling
The architecture and the hotel service are the marketing core. A Gwathmey Siegel tower with a luxury hotel attached is a differentiator that the surrounding stock cannot match, and the design, the views, and the service platform are durable selling points. Benchmark to branded and design-driven Midtown condominiums, not to conventional buildings — the service and the pedigree are part of the value. Closing mechanics are condominium-standard, clearing through a right-of-first-refusal on a predictable timeline. High-floor, open-view homes are the prize and define the building's pricing ceiling.
