Inspiring in scale and dimension, Mott B. Schmidt’s 1088 Park Avenue still stands as one of Carnegie Hill’s preeminent, architecturally significant, and iconic buildings.

In addition to the grand courtyard, the building features two gyms, 24-hour doormen, storage, and bike storage. Conveniently located moments from Central Park, The Guggenheim Museum, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1088 offers easy access to the best of the Upper East Side, including many of the best schools, excellent shopping, as well as transportation. 1088 is one of the Avenue’s few coops with a truly grand entry. Converted in 1950, its 90 owners receive exceptional white-glove service from a seasoned staff that knows how to provide attention. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. 50% financing and pets are permitted.
