Built in 1928 as the Adams Hotel, the building underwent extensive renovation in its conversion to residential condominiums during the years 1990-1993. When the apartments were first offered for sale in 1991, they were the highest-priced residential apartments ever offered for sale in New York City. Their sale prices set city records in 1993 and 1994. History1049 5th Avenue was built in 1928 as the Adams Hotel, a beige-brick structure comprising 23 stories. Built in the style of pre-war Functionalism, the appearance of the building has never been considered particularly distinguished. The Adams Hotel was the last residence of Hector Guimard, the main representative of Art Nouveau in France. He died in this building May 20, 1942. The structure is situated on the Upper East Side, in the area of the city known as Museum Mile. It occupies the block bounded by Madison and Fifth Avenues and 86th and 85th Streets. It is adjacent to and relates architecturally with the former Croyden Hotel, now rental apartments, that occupies the remainder of the block to Madison Avenue.[3] In 1990, 1049 5th Avenue was purchased by Jack C. Heller of Heller Macaulay Equities, Inc. and converted into 54 (now 45) luxury condominiums averaging {{convert|3000|sqft|m2}} each.[4][5] Address changeDespite its official address on Fifth Avenue, the building is actually located a short distance east on 86th Street, offset from Fifth Avenue by the William Starr Miller House, which abuts its western facade. When originally constructed, the address of the building was 2 East 86th Street. During its renovation, the building owners applied to the Manhattan Borough President's office for an address change, citing the fact that all floors above the seventh provide an unobstructed view of Central Park. This was for marketing purposes, due to the additional value that accrues to real estate with a Fifth Avenue address. Such changes are unusual but not unheard of, and are granted if deemed justified.[4] The address change was approved and implemented in the spring of 1991.[4] ConversionAfter serious financial problems on the part of its owner, 1049 5th Avenue was renovated and converted into luxury condominium apartments starting in 1990. Amid a perilous market for luxury real estate, the condominiums were offered for sale starting in 1991 at $1,200 to $1,500 per square-foot, making them the highest-priced residential apartments ever offered for sale in New York City.[4] Gerald Guterman{{Main|Gerald Guterman}}In the mid-1980s, 1049 5th Avenue was purchased by New York condominium developer Gerald Guterman, who then began renovations on the building and started purchasing the apartments of long-term tenants. Later, Guterman suffered substantial financial setbacks due to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which significantly reduced the value of his real estate holdings, and also the 1987 stock market crash. Renovations to the building were halted, and Guterman was forced to declare bankruptcy. Despite an intensive legal struggle by Guterman to retain ownership of the building, it was placed in receivership and ordered sold.[4] Jack C. HellerOn January 19, 1990, 1049 5th Avenue was purchased by Jack C. Heller, partner in the New York real estate development company Heller Macaulay Equities, Inc. The sale price was $38 million, with financing provided by Investcorp. Heller's additional bid failed to purchase the adjoining former William Starr Miller House, a Louis XIII/Beaux-Arts structure located on the corner of Fifth Avenue.[4] Heller, a 1978 Boston University graduate, was heir to the capital of the Foreston Group, a family-owned conglomerate founded in 1906 that was the largest independent coal mining and distribution operation in the US, then valued at $150 million. In 1985, reviving the remnants of his family's real estate subdivision, Heller began developing residential real estate. During the years 1985-1990, he built some 1,500 apartments, including Le Chambord, a 23-story luxury condominium building at 350 East 72nd Street. About architecture, Heller expressed admiration of the iconic apartment houses of Rosario Candela.[4] He founded Heller Macaulay Equities in 1989 with partner Duncan Macaulay.[14] Of 1049 5th Avenue, Heller said, "Never again in my lifetime do I expect to see the chance to build a great building on or within a few steps of Fifth Avenue".[4] RenovationHeller divided 1049 5th Avenue into 54 apartments (later reduced to 45) with an average of {{convert|3000|sqft|m2}} of floor space per apartment, including four penthouses with up to 4,600 square feet.[4][5] He then spent $47 million on building renovations, almost $1 million per apartment. Designed by Costas Kondylis Architects and appointed by the up-market interior design firm Cullman & Kravis, the apartments were accommodated with extensive luxury features, including separate heating and cooling for each room, {{convert|12|in|mm|adj=mid|-thick}} concrete floors, large picture windows, and a butler's pantry in most apartments. Only four of the resulting apartments have fewer than two bedrooms.[4] All apartments on the west side of the building above the seventh floor overlook Central Park and the Reservoir, over the top of the adjacent William Starr Miller House. This is a highly desirable feature for a condominium in the city and one which fetches a substantial premium. This side of the structure was extensively reworked, with large windows and balconies on some apartments.[4] Other luxury features of the property include refrigerator storage for deliveries, storage lockers, and a bicycle room, but no pool or garage. All of the apartments have their own laundry facilities and some have fireplaces. In addition, the building employs elevator operators. Upscale grocer Dean & DeLuca maintains a storefront on the northwest corner of Madison Avenue and 85th Street. Renovation began after purchase of the building in 1990 and was completed in 1993.[5] In addition to the condominiums, staff apartments were offered for sale on a first-come-first-served basis for $100,000 each.[4] Economic climateThe renovation of 1049 5th Avenue was undertaken during a dismal economic climate for luxury real estate. The same economic circumstances that overtook Gerald Guterman had not yet subsided, and many top real estate development companies were failing. One of the prestige luxury addresses in Manhattan, Trump Palace, was struggling, and several recently constructed residential high-rises sat empty. Prices for New York condominiums had fallen at least 25 percent since 1989, and plummeted a whopping 4.6 percent just in the second quarter of 1991.[4] Worse, the malaise extended well beyond New York. The world was in the midst of a severe economic downturn, the recession of 1991. About Heller's ultra-luxury condominium development at 1049 5th Avenue, New York Magazine asked, was the project "Folly on the 'Fifth'?"[4] Real estate expert James Austrian, of Austrian, Roth and Partners, was scathing: "I think Jack Heller is crazy, but I wish him well".[4] Amidst these perilous economic circumstances and skeptical criticism from industry experts, Heller appeared supremely confident, almost ebullient. He expressed confidence that his luxury project would command high prices despite the general depression of real estate values, and he predicted that he would not be able to live in the building because every apartment would be sold.[4] Sales successThe condominiums at 1049 5th Avenue were opened for sale during the first week of October 1991, with initial prices at $1,200 to $1,500 per square-foot. These prices made them the highest-priced residential apartments ever offered for sale in New York City.[4] By 1993, Heller had sold sixteen of the apartments for prices ranging from $800 to $950 per square foot. That year he recorded the two highest condominium sale prices in Manhattan: $3.5 million and $3.8 million.[5] On June 22, 1994, Entrepreneur Magazine reported the spectacular sale of a {{convert|4661|sqft|m2|adj=on}} penthouse for $5.5 million, or $1,100 per square-foot, the record for that year. The apartment featured 4 bedrooms, 6.5 marble baths, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, media room, library, formal dining room, granite kitchen, and a maid's room. It also featured 4 terraces and 360-degree views.[14] Heller took the opportunity of this sale to again express confidence in his project and New York real estate in general, saying that it proved "that the condominium market in New York City is again thriving and getting stronger every day."[14] As a result of his high-profile success with 1049 5th Avenue, Heller was named one of the "40 Under 40" business luminaries by Crain's New York Business in 1993.[5] Rush Limbaugh{{Main|Rush Limbaugh}}American radio personality Rush Limbaugh began his national broadcasting career in Manhattan in 1988.[32] In 1992, he earned $3.5 million, and he was on his way to making a fortune. Limbaugh purchased a 10-room penthouse at 1049 5th Avenue, with a fireplace and four terraces, for "just under" $5 million in 1994.[33] After moving his broadcast operation to Palm Beach, Florida in the late 1990s, Limbaugh railed on his program about high state income tax rates in New York. In the spring of 2009, New York State adopted a temporary income tax surcharge on wealthy individuals, at which time Limbaugh threatened to sell his condominium and leave the city forever. A transcript of the show on Limbaugh's website was titled, "El Rushbo to New York: Drop Dead." New York Governor David Paterson made light of Limbaugh's criticism, saying, “If I knew that would be the result, I would’ve thought about the taxes earlier.”[34] Limbaugh made good on his promise to sell his apartment, and the condominium went into contract on July 8, 2010, for "a bit under" $12.95 million.[33] See also
