1010 Park Ave.

Extell is behind the project, expected to launch sales later this fall, with prices starting at $12.95 million and a penthouse duplex promising a whopping price tag. Lavish amenities include a 50-foot indoor pool, a fitness center with a teak sauna and changing rooms, a screening room and a circus-themed children’s playroom.

111 W. 57th St.
The highly anticipated 111 W. 57th St. condo, on Billionaire’s Row, launched sales last week, with prices from $18 million to over $57 million. It ends a rocky few years for the under-construction luxury project, including lawsuits accusing developers JDS and Property Markets Group (PMG) of diluting the stake of an equity partner, and infighting that disrupted a previous sales effort. At a launch event, developers distanced the tower, which has made headlines for its slender silhouette, from the drama. JDS, PMG and Spruce Capital Partners — along with SHoP Architects and Studio Sofield — at last presented a model of the 1,428-foot tower rising above landmarked Steinway Hall. There will be 46 full-floor and duplex homes; interiors feature great rooms with 14-foot ceilings, marbled bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows. Building amenities include a lap pool with cabanas, a private dining room and a triple-height gym. Contact: Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, 212-935-5757
