New York City is home to some of the most expensive real estate in the world. It's not surprising to everyone. Since Russian billionaires spent $88 million buying new condo complex at 15 Central Park West. While checking out the One57 top floor penthouse, listed at $115 million, it has become the most expensive residential listing in New York City!
The six-bedroom home covers 10,923 square feet, and it is a veritable palace by New York standards. The affluent individual who loves to entertain will enjoy the double-height grand salon that offers views of Central Park. Everything from the walls of glass to the kitchen fittings scream luxury.
One57 is well on its way to becoming the most sought-after address in New York City. This skyscraper located on 157 West 57th Street is soon going to wear the crown of the tallest residential building in the Big Apple. The main architect of this expensive Manhattan property is Pulitzer Prize winner Christian de Portzamparc. Under his helmsmanship, One57 is rising to a height of over 1,000 feet. However, pictures of the Manhattan skyline reveal that One57 stands a class apart from other tall skyscrapers in the area. It does not all have to do with the height. The expert use of glass and the building's ability to attract light provides a sense of fluidity.
Investors from around the world have evinced interest in the building, which is set to be ready for residents by 2013. According to reports, buyers from Russia, China and South America in particular have been more than enthusiastic about the project. This interest encouraged the building's developers to move out of the typical New York mould and create layouts that focus on large spaces rather than multiple bedrooms.
