This attractive Upper East Side brown-brick was erected to warehouse silver, later housing the FBI's New York offices until converting to rental apartments in 1980. The large, 16-story Fairfax has a three-story limestone base and occupies an entire blockfront on Third Avenue.

This slice of the Upper East Side features an abundance of excellent neighborhood shopping, including a wealth of restaurants. Some of the most beautiful sidestreets in the city are in the area, and nearby cultural institutions provide residents many weekends worth of enrichment every year. Public transportation is extremely convenient.

The Fairfax has 315 apartments, a doorman, entrance marquee, bicycle room, storage space, garage, marble baths, valet service and video security. The newly renovated lobby features a modern and urban style with rich wood panels, earthy stone and a dramatic double-height ceiling. Beyond the 24-hour concierge desk, three high-speed elevators await your command; Fairfax tenants can energize in the exclusive, modern gym, or relax on the landscaped roof deck. The high-rise also offers 24 hour valet service and on-site parking, accessible from the lobby.

The unique historical architecture of the Fairfax provides plenty of ambient light, striking nine-foot beamed ceilings, and generous closets. The airy open space residences include individually controlled heating and AC. New sound-resistant windows help hush the lively city. Each apartment is finished with lustrous oak floors, modern kitchens and marble baths.
