"We are excited to provide a space to showcase these exceptional pieces of art," said Jay Solinsky, president of Classic Marketing, the exclusive sales agent for the property.

Views from the first floor look out onto a private French-style courtyard garden that features a reflecting pool. Additional building amenities include a 24-hour concierge service, fitness center and children's creativity center. As a complement to the top-of-the-line amenities offered at the building, 530 Park Ave. partnered with the celebrated Sant Ambroeus restaurant to provide five-star room service and full-service catering to residents. The homes at 530 Park Ave., which range from one to four bedrooms, are designed with signature finishes, including custom finished herringbone pattern hardwood floors, plaster hand-finished cove crown moldings and individually and thermostatically controlled heating and air conditioning systems.
