NEW YORK CITY, US

This six-bedroom penthouse spans the entire 65th floor of this new condominium development, offering as much living space as a large house: 8,139sqft in total. Its entertaining space features a fireplace, balcony and expansive westerly views, and there are two kitchens for grandscale catering. The master bedroom features two bathrooms, two dressing rooms, a wet bar and a balcony. Each of the five other bedrooms is en suite. Among the many communal facilities available at the tower, designed by architects SOM, are a lounge, library, screening room, fitness centre, concierge, 23m swimming pool with spa facilities, children’s playroom and billiards room. There is also a 21m terrace.

WOW FACTOR: Big city views. A tour guide could show visitors a sizeable chunk of New York simply by pointing them out through the floor-toceiling windows that wrap around this apartment, or from its two balconies. These 360-degree views encompass Central Park, New York Harbour, George Washington Bridge and the East River.
