Press Release
“Michael Gross has done a stunning job of reporting. The social history of modern Manhattan as seen through a single residential building, the men who conceived and built it, the wealthy families who lived out storied tours in its rich and lavish apartments, the famed and wealthy 740 Park snobbishly turned away.” — James Brady, author of The Scariest Place in the World and Further Lane
“In 740 Park: The World’s Richest Apartment Building, Michael Gross penetrates the bewitching and private worlds of the privileged and very rich denizens of 740 Park Avenue on New York’s Upper East Side. Gross, a born story teller, delights in his tales of upstairs and downstairs over the decades in the grand building. This is social history at its best.” — Dominick Dunne
“740 Park is a concrete capsule of American capitalism as seen through the fates, fortunes, and foibles of its inhabitants. This biography of New York’s most magisterial building is an immensely entertaining, dishy, and ultimately serious book.” — Jane Stanton Hitchcock
“The Lolita of shelter porn… 740 Park delves into the rarified world of one of the city’s most exclusive co-ops, where billionaires like Ronald Lauder, Steve Schwarzman and David Koch rest their heads.” — Michael Calderone, New York Observer
