281 Park Avenue South

Originally constructed in 1894 and known as the Church Missions House, this stunning six-story commercial property showcases the quintessential architectural style of the turn of the 20th century. Designed by renowned architects Robert W. Gibson and Edward J. Neville Stent— who combined Gibson’s formal training at the Royal Academy of Arts in London with Stent’s artistic vision—the building was commissioned by prominent donors including Cornelius Vanderbilt and J. Pierpont Morgan. In recognition of its historical significance, 281 Park Avenue South was designated a New York City landmark in 1979 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

This unique property offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of Manhattan’s most recognizable assets in an irreplaceable location. Delivered vacant, it serves as a blank canvas for an owner/occupant to craft their vision. The exceptionally built-out restaurant and event spaces are ideally suited for hospitality use, allowing the owner to potentially occupy the upper floors while generating income from ground and second-floor operations.
