The Fairfax is a luxury New York rental located in the desirable Upper East Side. The prewar building features a brown-brick facade with a three-story limestone base and an elegant entrance marquee. Erected in 1927, the Fairfax was originally built to warehouse silver, later becoming the FBI's New York offices until being converted to rental apartments in 1980. The Fairfax is a mid-rise building that spans a height of sixteen floors and encompasses 315 spacious apartments, all of which are easily accessible by any of the building's three high-speed elevators. The newly renovated lobby features rich wood panels, elegant neutral stone and a dramatic double-height ceiling.
Apartments at the Fairfax marry old-world charm with modern conveniences. The striking nine-foot ceilings feature architectural beams and, in conjunction with the generously oversized windows, give each apartment a uniquely open and airy feeling.

Self-controlled heating and cooling provides tenants with a comfortable environment year-round, while spacious closets house the wardrobes of even the most avid shoppers. Kitchens are fully equipped and offer dishwashers as an added convenience. Marble bathrooms are luxurious, with relaxing soaking tubs and stainless steel fixtures.
