This penthouse residence on the 88th floor of the Trump World Tower at United Nations Plaza has been on the market since September 2010. I wondered why and contacted the leasing agent for some insight to the situation. My questions went unanswered. It really is a lot easier to get quotes and interviews when you ask innocuous questions instead of serious ones. It was readily apparent that I was not dealing with one of Mr. Trump's apprentices.

Including the $20 million penthouse, a total of 15 condominiums currently are available in the Trump World Tower at United Nations Plaza. The price range on those other 14 luxury units goes from $699,000 up to $6.6 million. The largest residence offers nearly 2,900 square feet of living space; the smallest is around 600 square feet. There is a unit on the 18th floor that is $40,000 less than a similar unit on the 12th floor.

Is the extraordinarily luxurious $20 million penthouse a bellwether that is being monitored by both industry pundits and real estate investors? Is it priced too high? What about the remaining units in the tower that are on the market? Less than two weeks ago, 17 condominiums were listed for sale. So, there now are 15, which is 12 percent fewer units available than previously; that is progress.
