520 Fifth Avenue is among the tallest residential buildings on Fifth Avenue — a roughly 1,000-foot supertall rising near the Empire State Building, developed by Rabina and designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. It is a rare thing on this stretch of Midtown: a brand-new, top-of-market condominium dropped into a corridor defined by commercial towers and prewar stock, conceived to bring trophy-tier residential product to the heart of Fifth Avenue.
The building is mixed-use by design — boutique luxury office floors and Moss, a private members' club, occupy the lower portion, with the 100 condominium residences beginning high in the tower. That structure gives buyers altitude, light, and protected views that lower buildings on these blocks cannot, paired with the financing latitude and ownership flexibility a condominium offers. For a buyer who wants a new supertall home on Fifth Avenue — with a members' club downstairs and the entire Midtown skyline out the window — 520 Fifth is built to be the address.

The retrade record

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01259-7503) 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 selling
The marketing core is altitude, authorship, and address: a roughly 1,000-foot KPF-designed supertall on Fifth Avenue, with a members' club in the building and views no surrounding structure can match. Sellers should benchmark to new Midtown and Billionaires'-Row condominium pricing, not to the corridor's older inventory, and present the condominium's lighter closing mechanics — a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board process — as the faster, more flexible path the building's buyer pool will value. With only 100 residences and the first owners just taking title, early resale inventory will be thin, and a well-positioned home trades on the scarcity of comparable new product on Fifth Avenue.
