The Plaza Condominium & Residences

About
Iconic Fifth Avenue residence overlooking Central Park—historic grandeur meets five-star modern living. Located at the prestigious corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, The Plaza Condominium & Residences offers an unmatched blend of timeless elegance, historic significance, and contemporary luxury. Ranging from sophisticated studios to palatial eight-bedroom homes, these private residences occupy one of the most coveted addresses in Manhattan—768 Fifth Avenue and 1 Central Park South. Completed in 1907 and designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, the 21-story French Renaissance-inspired château features a marble base, white-brick façade, and a signature mansard roof. Its architectural splendor earned landmark status in 1969 and recognition as a National Historic Landmark in 1986. Surrounded by Central Park’s serene landscapes and Fifth Avenue’s world-class boutiques, The Plaza places residents at the heart of New York City’s luxury corridor. Inside, each home showcases fine craftsmanship—walnut-bordered herringbone floors, marble bathrooms, custom cabinetry, and smart home controls that bring comfort and convenience to every space. The building delivers a five-star lifestyle with dedicated door attendants, concierge and butler service, twice-daily housekeeping, and access to La Palestra Fitness Center, Guerlain Spa, and the renowned Warren-Tricomi Salon. Dining options include the Palm Court, the Champagne Bar, and 24-hour in-residence dining. Elegant venues like the Edwardian Room, Oak Room, and Grand Ballroom are available for private events, while the Rose Club offers a refined nightlife experience within the building. Steeped in history, The Plaza has welcomed legendary residents and guests—from Alfred Vanderbilt and Harry Frank Guggenheim to Frank Lloyd Wright and The Beatles. Following its recent renovation, the property has become even more desirable to global buyers seeking an elite pied-à-terre, primary residence, or investment opportunity. The Plaza Condominium and Residences welcomes pets and permits subletting, making it a rare combination of flexibility, prestige, and enduring value in the New York City luxury real estate market.
