Melissa Ryan Kaiser and Cynthia Miao Close a $14.3M Full-Floor Fifth Avenue Residence Facing the Met
The Compass duo closes the entire fourth floor of 993 Fifth Avenue, an Emery Roth-designed 1930 limestone cooperative. The 12-room home has six bedrooms, about 5,000 square feet and views of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Melissa Ryan Kaiser and Cynthia Miao of Compass have closed the sale of Residence 4 at 993 Fifth Avenue for $14,300,000. The home closed in October 2026.
The residence occupies the entire fourth floor of a landmarked, limestone-clad prewar cooperative designed by Emery Roth in 1930, set across Fifth Avenue from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The building has only one apartment per floor.
Spanning approximately 5,000 square feet, the 12-room home was built for entertaining, with grand, high-ceilinged reception rooms and extraordinary views of the Met's illuminated facade. A large park-facing primary bedroom suite is joined by an expansive bedroom wing with four additional bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. A sixth bedroom works as a study or staff room. A powder room, a separate laundry room, a combination of central and through-wall air conditioning and abundant closet space complete the plan.
Residents of 993 Fifth Avenue enjoy white-glove service with a live-in resident manager, an attended elevator and a 24-hour doorman, plus private storage rooms and a fitness center.
For Kaiser and Miao, it is a rare full-floor Museum Mile close in one of Fifth Avenue's most architecturally significant prewar buildings.
