720 Park Avenue, Neoclassical apartment building in Lenox Hill, Manhattan, United States.
The 17-story residential structure at 720 Park Avenue features symmetrical shapes, tall columns, and elaborate cornices across its limestone exterior facade.
Architects Cross & Cross and Rosario Candela designed this residential building in 1928, introducing modern living standards to Manhattan's Upper East Side.
The building housed Jesse I. Straus, co-owner of Macy's, who lived in a duplex while serving as United States Ambassador to France from 1933.
The residential complex provides 34 apartments, a gymnasium, storage spaces, and maintains a full-time doorman service for enhanced security measures.
In 2008, the building recorded a notable real estate transaction when diplomat Carl Spielvogel sold his apartment for 37 million dollars.
