A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 530 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.
530 Park Avenue is one of the most architecturally interesting and operationally distinctive condominium conversions on Park Avenue south of 79th Street. What sets it substantively apart from peer Park Avenue inventory begins with the building itself and ends at its front desk. The bones are a late-prewar / Art Deco architectural composition by George F. Pelham Jr., the architect whose Manhattan portfolio also includes 41, 50, 785, 1130, and 1150 Park Avenue plus 1056 Fifth Avenue — a major if less-celebrated figure in the late-prewar canon than Candela or Cross & Cross — with a 1940 vintage that places 530 Park at the tail end of the prewar construction cycle, just as steel allocation shifted to wartime priorities. Those bones were reimagined in the Aby Rosen / RFR Holding 2013 conversion by Handel Architects with interiors by William T. Georgis, a comprehensive redesign that turned the lobby into a grand double-height ribbed limestone rotunda with Nordic Gray and Cold Spring granite floor, an ebonized wood concierge desk, a garden-facing sitting room, a media center, and a dark wood-paneled library with billiard table. Rarest of all among peer Park Avenue condominiums is the Sant Ambroeus catering / room service amenity, drawing on the Milanese restaurant with locations on Madison Avenue and at the adjacent Regency Hotel.
The location is among the strongest on Park Avenue, reflecting the building's adjacency to the Regency Hotel, Madison Avenue retail, Central Park, and the 59th and 63rd Street subway hubs.
Architecture and unit composition
The 19-story white-brick building at 530 Park Avenue was erected in 1940 at the tail end of the prewar Park Avenue construction cycle. It was designed by George F. Pelham Jr., whose Manhattan prewar portfolio includes 41, 50, 785, 1130, and 1150 Park Avenue and 1056 Fifth Avenue. Two piers of curved glass bay windows flank Juliet balconies above the Park Avenue entrance, and the building rests on a ribbed, two-story limestone base with sidewalk landscaping.
The building is also known as 48-60 East 61st Street. Pelham Jr. designed it on a generous L-shaped footprint that wraps the southwest corner of 61st and Park — the corner site immediately south of the Regency Hotel and the Christ Church United Methodist by Ralph Adams Cram on the north side of 61st.
The building's commercial-residential rental life ran for 67 years, from 1940 to 2007. In 2007, BlackRock Realty Advisors paid approximately $211 million for the building. The 2008 financial crisis paused the conversion plan. Aby Rosen / RFR Holding entered a joint venture with the existing ownership in August 2010 to complete a for-sale condominium conversion. RFR submitted the conversion plan within months. The conversion preserved the prewar masonry envelope while comprehensively redesigning the lobby and interior infrastructure.
Apartment-level finishes include kitchens with Smallbone of Devizes cabinetry, Pietra Cardosa Italian granite, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf ranges, Bertazzoni ovens, and Viking hoods. Bathrooms feature Crema Marfil marble walls, wood-grain brown marble floors, Kohler Caxton sinks, Toto toilets, and radiant heating in the primary bath. Units carry in-unit Bosch washer/dryers and individually controlled HVAC.
Building operations
530 Park operates as a full-service condominium with the following operational baseline:
- 24-hour doorman and concierge
- Live-in superintendent
- Catering and room service by Sant Ambroeus — a distinguishing amenity uncommon among peer Park Avenue condominiums
- Landscaped courtyard with French garden and black-tile reflecting pool designed by Town & Gardens Ltd, with gravel walkways, blue stone pavers, and a privacy wall of English ivy with red maple trees
- Private fitness center overlooking the courtyard
- Library with billiards table
- Children's creativity center
- Bicycle storage, central laundry, resident storage
- No roof deck; no balconies (Juliet only); no on-site garage
- In-unit Bosch washer/dryer; individually controlled HVAC
The Sant Ambroeus amenity is structurally distinguishing. Resident access to room service and catering from one of Manhattan's most established Milanese restaurants is uncommon at the condominium level along Park Avenue.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,874/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 8.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Notable residents
Bianca Jagger — former wife of Mick Jagger — was a long-term pre-conversion rent-regulated resident at 530 Park during the building's rental era. She was evicted in 2008 for living outside the country (the Côte d'Azur) and lost her subsequent court case challenging the eviction in 2012, a story widely covered in the New York Times and the New York Post.
The post-conversion owner roster has remained largely private; press-reported celebrity sales are limited, consistent with the condominium's discreet operational posture.
What to know if you’re buying
The condominium structure is the largest single competitive advantage. Pied-à-terre, subletting, LLC ownership, trust ownership, and foreign-buyer eligibility are all permitted under the declaration — a profile uncommon along Park Avenue south of 79th Street.
The Sant Ambroeus catering and room-service amenity is structurally distinguishing. Resident access to one of Manhattan's most established Milanese restaurants is rare at the condominium level along the corridor.
The 2013 conversion produced fully modern interior infrastructure. Smallbone kitchens, Sub-Zero / Wolf appliances, marble bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryers, and individually controlled HVAC are uniform across the inventory.
The location is a genuine asset. The Regency Hotel, Madison Avenue retail, Central Park, and the 59th and 63rd Street subway stations are all within a few blocks.
The Pelham Jr. architectural pedigree is real. The architect's broader Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue portfolio (41, 50, 785, 1130, 1150 Park; 1056 Fifth) represents a substantial late-prewar body of work.
The Aby Rosen / RFR Holding sponsor credibility is real institutional context. The conversion was executed by one of New York's most established developer-investors.
Verify the right-of-first-refusal mechanics during diligence. Condominium ROFR is rarely exercised but the declaration mechanic should be reviewed.
Closing timelines are condominium-standard. Plan for 30 to 45 days from contract through ROFR waiver to closing.
What to know if you’re selling
Marketing should emphasize the condominium policy flexibility and the Sant Ambroeus amenity. Both are structural advantages over peer Park Avenue cooperative inventory.
The Pelham Jr. + Handel Architects + Aby Rosen credential layering is real institutional context. The combination of late-prewar architecture, top-tier 2013 conversion architecture, and Rosen sponsor credibility supports premium positioning.
Pricing should reference recent comparable closings. Apartment-line-specific comparables on a nearby floor should anchor positioning, not a building-wide average.
Closing timelines are condominium-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.
