A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Ramondo 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.
784 Park Avenue — The Ramondo — is a tier-one Lenox Hill cooperative with a pedigree few buildings on the avenue can match. Erected in 1930, it carries a remarkable architectural credential: an Emery Roth design with McKim, Mead & White serving as supervising architects. Roth is the architect most identified with the era's great Manhattan apartment houses; McKim, Mead & White is among the most consequential firms in American architectural history. The collaboration produced a building of genuine distinction at one of the avenue's best corners.
The architecture bears it out. The Ramondo rises 21 stories from a three-story rusticated limestone base, with a beige-brick facade, decorative balconies, sidewalk landscaping, and a tower articulated by five setbacks — the first carrying a pergola at its southern end — and crowned by a handsome enclosed rooftop watertank. Residents enter through a canopied, revolving-door entrance on East 74th Street into a large vaulted lobby. It is a building that signals its quality from the street.
The corner siting at Park and 74th places The Ramondo in the heart of tier-one Lenox Hill — the stretch of Park Avenue that anchors the avenue's residential prestige, with the Candela and Carpenter cluster nearby, Central Park a short walk west, and Madison Avenue's retail and gallery corridor a block east. The Asia Society, the Whitney's former Marcel Breuer building, the 72nd Street crosstown bus, and the 6 train at Lexington and 77th are all close at hand. At 21 stories and just 69 apartments, the building offers large, gracious pre-war layouts at a low unit density.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's 69 apartments are large and gracious by design — the low unit count across 21 stories points to generous full-floor-adjacent layouts. Many residences feature wood-burning fireplaces and formal dining rooms, alongside the era's standard signatures: high ceilings, grand room proportions, hardwood floors, and the deep, well-laid-out floor plans that distinguished 1930-era Park Avenue construction. Apartments range from one- and two-bedroom homes through large duplexes and a duplex penthouse with wraparound terraces, several lower lines retaining the staff rooms and grand galleries of their original layouts.
The architecture is the building's calling card — the limestone base, the setback tower, the pergola, the decorative balconies, and the vaulted lobby together place The Ramondo among the more refined pre-war buildings on this stretch. Upper-floor and setback apartments capture open Park Avenue exposures and city light. Interior condition varies by individual renovation history; pre-war detail survives in varying states across the apartments.
Building operations
The Ramondo operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative; the building converted to cooperative ownership in 1957, among the earlier Park Avenue conversions. Amenities include a full-time doorman, a gym, a bike room, private storage, central laundry, and an outdoor playground. The 69-unit scale keeps the building at an intimate, residential density while supporting that staffing.
On policy, the building permits pets and allows pied-à-terre ownership — a notable degree of flexibility for a tier-one Park Avenue cooperative. Board approval at buildings of this caliber is rigorous, and strong financial profiles and primary-residence intent remain central criteria for purchasers.

How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01388-0037) 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 pedigree is exceptional. An Emery Roth design with McKim, Mead & White supervising is a rare architectural credential — and a marketing asset on resale.
The apartments are serious pre-war. Wood-burning fireplaces, formal dining rooms, and large layouts define the building; verify the specific apartment's features.
The policies are flexible for the tier. Pets are permitted and pied-à-terre ownership is allowed — uncommon latitude on this stretch of Park Avenue.
Board approval is rigorous. Expect tier-one Park Avenue underwriting — strong financials and primary-residence intent.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architecture and the pedigree. The Roth / McKim, Mead & White authorship, the setback tower, and the marble-and-fireplace interiors are the building's strongest selling points.
Flag the flexibility. Pet and pied-à-terre allowances widen the buyer pool relative to stricter Park Avenue peers.
Price at the apartment level. With 69 large units, floor, exposure, fireplace, and renovation quality drive value; comparable analysis is most useful within the building's own lines.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Plan for roughly 6–10 weeks from contract to closing.

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.
