iconic 880 fifth avenue is a fully staffed, full-service, white-glove cooperative and the only twin-towered building on fifth avenue. it was the last building designed by emery roth and the first completed on fifth avenue after world war ii. the art deco lobby is a timeless work of design, featuring glistening marble floors and signature silver-leaf bas-relief detailing.
building amenities include: 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a newly renovated gym, on-site parking garage with discounted rate for shareholders (current waiting list), 50% financing permitted, pied-a-terres allowed as well as pets, who must accompany their owner to the board interview.

both terraces are lovely, the direct living terrace is more like a covered porch, an exterior extension of the living space. the second level terrace on the other hand is a perfect spot to watch the sunsets or enjoy a late night with some close friends.

excellent use of the different outdoor spaces. the narrower spaces are expertly used primarily to give the great view from the inside, while the wider spaces are used for outdoor enjoyment.
