520 Park Avenue

The building was funded through a US$450 million construction loan from The Children's Investment Fund. At 781 feet tall, it is the 36th tallest building in New York City and the tallest on the Upper East Side. Arthur and William Lie Zeckendorf of Zeckendorf Development developed the building.

Architecture
Like much of Stern's work, the building is New Classical in style. The exterior of the building is clad in limestone, similar to Stern's other New York City skyscrapers including 15 Central Park West, 30 Park Place and 220 Central Park South. The developer, Arthur Zeckendorf has described the building as the East Side sister of 15 Central Park West.

The building has 35 apartments in its 64 stories including a $130 million triplex penthouse. Prices begin at over $20 million for a 4,600 sqft apartment, and residences close to the top have balconies.

Amenities
The building includes an outside garden, private movie theater, children's playroom, swimming pool, wine cellars and a bi-level fitness center. The building offers more than 15,000 sqft of amenities and amenity spaces for residents.

History
The developers had been planning a building since 2006, but were delayed by difficulties vacating the previous commercial building on the site. Plans for the building were first announced in December 2012, with the selection of Robert A.M. Stern Architects. Shortly after, the developers purchased 70,000 sqft of air rights from the neighboring Christ Church United Methodist and Grolier Club for over $40 million. The building's design was officially unveiled in March 2014 and was completed in 2018.
