1215 5TH AVENUE at 1215 5th Avenue Building Details
Embodying pre‐war luxury and timeless elegance, Brisbane House stands proudly on Fifth Avenue between 102nd and 103rd Streets. Built in 1926 by Arthur Brisbane, a prominent journalist and real‐estate visionary, the building was designed by the distinguished architectural firm Schultze & Weaver, known for their glamorous hotel work such as the Pierre and the Sherry-Netherland. With its four‐story limestone base, arched windows, decorated cornices, and classic facade of limestone and brick, the building conveys presence, craftsmanship, and a grand sense of arrival. Converted to a full‐service cooperative in 1978, it offers just 62 residences across 16 stories, maintaining an intimate scale while delivering upscale living.

Inside Brisbane House, residents enjoy gracious, classically proportioned apartments-one‐ to four‐bedroom layouts-with many homes featuring 11‐foot ceilings, oversized windows, picturesque views of Central Park, and some units with terraces or exposures on multiple sides. Key historical touches remain: wood burning fireplaces, parquet flooring, original moldings, and occasionally built‐in cabinetry or wainscoting. Modern comforts are well integrated: common areas and lobby have been maintained; there's a fitness center, laundry, bike storage, private storage, and interior facilities that match the prestige of the building.

The location is exceptional: on the prestigious Fifth Avenue's stretch known as "Museum Mile," Brisbane House offers both cultural richness and refined residential serenity. Its address places residents steps from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, lush park access, high end boutiques, and elite private schools. Full‐time doorman service, well‐regarded building policies (pets allowed, pied‐a‐terre permitted), and selective ownership give it a sense of exclusivity. Brisbane House is an address renowned for its classic elegance, stunning views, and an elevated Fifth Avenue lifestyle.
