Why You Would Want to Live Here

The units at 800 Fifth Avenue are beautiful, but not particularly spacious, especially when compared to other rentals in the same price range. $12,500/month for a 1,300 two bedroom is quite pricey, so those who are paying to live at 800 Fifth Avenue are paying for the address, the location-related amenities, and the white glove service. The building’s services harken back to the days of yore, when Manhattan mansions were staffed by many a white-gloved man. This is the present, however, and in the present, such services will cost you – $110/square foot, to be exact.
