New York definitely isn’t hurting for luxury real estate, and it seems like each newcomer is even more stunning than those that came before. Case in point, the soon-to-be-built 520 Park Avenue. Set to become Manhattan’s most exclusive high-rise, the building’s full-floor residences will boast an average price of $38 million and are being designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA). Furthermore, once it’s finished, the 800-foot 520 Park Avenue will be the tallest in the Upper East Side.
The whole building will be “clad in Indiana limestone, articulated with hand-set stone detailing reminiscent of the great historic 20th-century apartment houses but at heights that are truly a modern 21st-century expression.” There will be 23 full-floor simplex apartments, four simplex penthouses, and five duplex penthouses and a 12,400-square-foot triplex penthouse, all overlooking Central Park and the Upper East Side.
When not gazing out of their massive windows, the residents can socialize in the grand Cathedral-like salon and enjoy drinks in the landscaped private garden. Of course, 520 Park Avenue also features a large pool, fitness center, treatment room, steam and sauna rooms, and a children’s playroom.
The project is being spearheaded by Zeckendorf Development (who previously collaborated with RAMSA for Fifteen Central Park West) with Global Holdings and Park Sixty LLC. Though the tower has already broken ground, it isn’t expected to be finished until early 2018. If interested, one can visit the sales gallery at 650 Madison Avenue, which launched last month.
