970 Park Avenue

970 Park Avenue is a red brick residential building with twelve stories and forty apartments on the Upper East Side. The building offers full-service amenities including a doorman and fitness facilities for residents.

Architects Schwartz and Gross designed this Georgian-style residential building in 1912 during rapid development on the Upper East Side. Its construction period reflects an era of intensive modernization and building expansion in Manhattan.

The building marks Park Avenue's transformation into a residential address for established New York families in the early 1900s. Red brick facades and well-maintained entrances continue to define the character of this prominent street today.

The building sits between East 82nd and 83rd Streets with convenient access to Central Park and multiple transit options. Its location makes it easy for visitors to find and reach the surrounding neighborhood.

In 1987, two luxury penthouses were added to the upper levels with greenhouse studies and large terraces. This expansion introduced fresh architectural elements to the original Georgian design.
