Built in 1930 by famous architect Rosario Candela, 740 Park Avenue retains its classic, old-Manhattan looks, and boasts a prime Upper East Side location that will never go out of style. But 740 Park Avenue’s palatial residences are, in their understated way, as state-of-the-art as they are classic.
