Park Cinq

Park Cinq is an apartment building at Fifth Avenue and 60th Street in Manhattan that rises 18 stories with a penthouse level. The structure features five elevators serving the residences, along with marble bathrooms and parquet flooring throughout the units.

The building was developed in 1963 by the Fisher Brothers and designed by the architectural firm Emery Roth & Sons. Its completion marked a shift in how luxury residential housing was created for Manhattan's wealthy residents.

The name references its location on Fifth Avenue, marking the address as a prestige address on the Upper East Side. It represents a turning point when apartment living became a status symbol for wealthy New Yorkers.

The building offers telephone outlets in each room and noise-reducing windows for greater privacy and comfort. Visitors should note that this is a residential building and not accessible for public tours.

Shipping tycoon Daniel K. Ludwig occupied the penthouse immediately after the building opened in 1963. His choice demonstrates how quickly this new structure became a destination for prominent and wealthy residents.
