The property has a rich history. The original building, built in 1923 by the prolific JER Carpenter, was previously owned by the French Consulate, but it was sold to Jean Claude Marian in 2013 for $36.4 million. Carnegie Hill Architectural Guide describes the building as a “David surrounded by Goliaths,” It sits at the center of the block and is the lone entrance on Fifth avenue. Now, KAA Consulting has now delivered a new building while preserving the historic landmark facade with state-of-the-art infrastructure.
“Pinned in NYC bedrock, the building is here to stay servicing contemporary and future generations of New Yorkers with the same quality and attention to detail befitting the original intent of a state-of-the-art residential building,” explains Stephen Gallira, developer and project manager, KAA Consulting. “After a full century, the building still retains that prestige.”
“We took it as a responsibility to the community and to the original developers who had the foresight to build the finest New York had to offer on what was then a dirt road,” continues Gallira. “Befitting its 100-year-history it was built to be the best.”
“Living New York is excited to bring 1143 Fifth Avenue to life–a project that has been in development for eight years but stands on the legacy of over 100 years of history,” says Devin Somneck, principal, Living New York. “This building is not just an architectural revival; it’s a tribute to the timeless elegance and rich stories, and we are proud to be part of its next chapter.”
The exclusive agents at Living New York handling leasing are Michael Jeneralczuk and Natalia Anhel.
