925 Park Avenue occupies the southeast corner of Park Avenue and East 80th Street — at the geographic seam between Lenox Hill and Carnegie Hill. The position places 925 Park within walking proximity to both the dense Lenox Hill tier-one Park Avenue inventory (740 Park: Candela / Cross & Cross 1930 — three blocks south; 778 Park: Candela 1931 — two blocks south) and the Carnegie Hill cooperative tradition extending north (1040 Park: Delano & Aldrich 1925; 1075 Park: Blum brothers 1929; 1185 Park: Schwartz & Gross 1929).
The mid-to-late 1920s pre-war vintage places 925 Park in the broader Park Avenue luxury cooperative construction boom. The 35-apartment scale places the building among the mid-sized pre-war Park Avenue cooperatives — moderate institutional density and limited annual turnover. The building's residential roster across the decades has tracked the broader central Park Avenue pattern.
The Park Avenue / East 80th positioning is structurally significant. The Metropolitan Museum is four blocks west on Fifth Avenue. The Whitney Museum's former Marcel Breuer building (now The Met Breuer) is five blocks south at Madison and 75th. The dense pre-war Park Avenue tier-one inventory of the 70s extends three blocks south, and the Carnegie Hill cooperative inventory of the 80s and 90s extends north.
For buyers, 925 Park represents a particular tier of central Park Avenue inventory: pre-war architectural credentials, 35-apartment scale producing moderate annual turnover, central Lenox Hill / Carnegie Hill seam positioning, and pricing materially below the Candela tier-one peak three blocks south.
Architecture and unit composition
The 35 apartments span configurations from approximately 2,000 sf 2BRs to substantially larger 3–5 BR configurations across the 14 stories. The building's most architecturally distinctive apartments are the upper-floor configurations and the corner residences with cross-exposure views.
Pre-war 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 the 1920s era.
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. 80th Street-facing apartments to the south have cross-street exposures.
Building operations
925 Park Avenue operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with full-time doorman, attended elevator, on-site superintendent, and private storage. The 35-apartment scale produces a moderate institutional density characteristic of mid-tier pre-war Park Avenue cooperative inventory.
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 Lenox Hill / Carnegie Hill pre-war norms.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01509-0001) 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 central Park Avenue positioning is structural. Walking proximity to both the Lenox Hill Candela tier-one inventory and the Carnegie Hill cooperative tradition.
Confirm specific policies and architect attribution directly with management. Financing posture, flip tax structure, sublet specifics, pied-à-terre allowance, and specific architect attribution should be obtained directly during the contract review process.
Pricing is more accessible than Candela tier-one peers. 925 Park typically trades at materially more accessible per-square-foot pricing than the 1929–1931 Candela apex three blocks south.
Board approval follows tier-one Park Avenue 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 corner Park / 80th positioning is the primary marketing asset. Listing copy should reference the central Park Avenue location and proximity to both Lenox Hill and Carnegie Hill cultural and residential anchors.
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.
