context_page_description: 520 Park Avenue is a skyscraper located on East 60th Street near Park Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by the firm of the 2011 Driehaus Prize winner, Robert A.M. Stern Architects. The building was funded through a US$450 million construction loan from The Children's Investment Fund. At 781 ft tall, it is the 36th tallest building in New York, and the tallest on the Upper East Side.
  Arthur and William Lie Zeckendorf of Zeckendorf Development developed the building.
context_section_description: Like much of Stern's work, the building is New Classical in style. The exterior of the building is clad in limestone, similar to Stern's other New York City skyscrapers including 15 Central Park West, 30 Park Place and 220 Central Park South. The developer, Arthur Zeckendorf has described the building as the East Side sister of 15 Central Park West.
  The building has 35 apartments on its 64 stories including a $130 million triplex penthouse. Prices begin at over $20 million for a 4,600 square feet (430 m²) apartment, and residences close to the top have balconies.
