1040 Fifth Avenue, Residential building on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States.
The seventeen-story apartment building features numerous large windows, grand entry foyers, and dramatic public rooms adjacent to Central Park.
Architect Rosario Candela completed this high-end residential structure in 1929 during Manhattan's luxury apartment construction expansion period.
The building exemplifies the transformation of New York's housing preferences as wealthy residents moved from private houses to sophisticated apartment living.
The apartments contain high ceilings, working fireplaces, service quarters, and floor plans that maximize natural light and ventilation throughout the living spaces.
Candela incorporated varied ceiling heights within individual residences, creating spatial diversity that remains influential in contemporary luxury apartment design.
