30 Sutton Place, completed in 1928, is a distinguished 14-story cooperative designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela. Originally constructed with 39 apartments, the building now houses 49 units and stands as one of the finest residential buildings in the Sutton Place neighborhood, second only to 1 Sutton Place South in prestige.
The building's architectural composition features a three-story limestone base topped with handsome red brick construction. Its elegant façade is punctuated by several balconies and a canopied entrance. The structure is particularly notable for its position across from townhouses sharing a communal garden between 57th and 58th Streets, ensuring protected views for many of its residences.
Apartments in the building showcase classic Candela design elements, including high ceilings with crown moldings, wood-burning fireplaces, hardwood floors, and generously proportioned rooms. Many units offer stunning views of the East River, the 59th Street Bridge, and Roosevelt Island through large six-pane double-hung windows. Several duplex apartments are included in the building's portfolio.
Current amenities include full-time doorman service, a resident manager, dedicated staff, and a fitness room. The building also offers bicycle storage, central laundry facilities, and private storage units for residents. The recently renovated lobby maintains the building's classic pre-war aesthetic.
The cooperative maintains specific policies including pet friendliness (with board approval), a 2% flip tax paid by purchasers, and a 50% maximum financing requirement. The building operates as a white-glove, full-service establishment, continuing its long tradition of premium residential service.
While Sutton Place itself remains quiet and lovely, the building sits near First Avenue with access to cross-town bus service. A notable neighborhood feature includes the vault space beneath the Queensborough Bridge, which houses both a large supermarket and restaurant.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
