New York City real estate is some of the highest throughout the entire United States. In fact, the top two most expensive urban living locations in the country are Manhattan and Brooklyn where a can of coffee will cost residents $5-6. New York City is a popular destination, and the properties built and offered can be simply amazing for a city area, which means those who want the best are going to have to pay for it. Despite the average price of a home in Manhattan being $1.3 million, people are willing to put out much more, and someone recently purchased a One57 Penthouse apartment for $100 million.
One57 is a very nice and modern looking building that sits on 57th street at a height of 1,005 feet in prime New York City location. The penthouse is a massive space that spans 10,923 square feet and sits high up overlooking the beautiful Central Park. One57 is calling this the first building of the new “Billionaires Row” in New York City, having just opened in 2014. The building was created by French architect Christian de Portzamparc but the entire interior was designed by the hometown, New York Based, Thomas Juul-Hansen. The One57 building is a step towards a new type of buildings in New York that bring in a modern age of design and style.
The $100 million sale of the penthouse is now the most expensive property purchase in New York City ever, beating out the 2012 record of $88 million for a penthouse located at 15 Central Park West. New York City is a prime living destination for anyone in the world that can afford it and attracts many people for a plethora of different reasons. It’s no surprise to see someone putting out this amount of money to be in the best location with the most amount of apartment space offered, and it could be the start of high value apartment purchases on this “Billionaires Row”.
