Overview
520 Park Avenue is Robert A.M. Stern’s limestone-clad tribute to classic Upper East Side grandeur, rising 54 stories above Madison Avenue. This ultra-exclusive tower features only 35 full-floor and duplex residences, offering an intimate and private luxury experience.
The layouts are regal and expansive, channeling pre-war proportions with modern flourishes — think sprawling living rooms, formal dining, and private elevator landings. Its amenity package is refined rather than flashy, prioritizing discretion over showmanship.
As an investment, 520 Park is built for legacy buyers. Its scarcity, elegance, and association with Stern’s architectural prestige give it lasting cachet, although it’s best suited for generational wealth rather than short-term turnover.
