the question is ” can you build an entire building like that for 88 million? “
It’s a great building, an amazing apartment, and I flat out love the decor. But, $88 million? Is this building in such demand that the apartment warrants an over 100% price increase in 4 years?
Talk about a price increase or what? And how many (walk-in) closets does a man nee?
Other then that, floorplan looks practical and good, the rooms look good (furniture and stuff). But 88 million…damn, better buy some good stuff on Long Island or something for 30 million. Buy a helicopter and fly to Manhatten.
$88 million? Nicca please:)
I know how sacred this location is in the world of high-end real estate, but $88 million for 6,700 sf will NEVER be sane in my eyes, no matter WHERE it is.
It is a stunning apartment, but I was hoping for the price bedrooms 3 and 4 would have their own dedicated walk-in closet, not something across the hall.
And this is a personal pet peeve of mine, but why would you want to have two separate tables in the dining room? It just seems so…unfriendly. I’ve always wondered how you would decide to split up your party. It is something I would *never* want to have.

This apartment is beautiful and looked fantastic in Archtiectural Digest. It does seem very overpriced, even for NYC.
Although it is stunning and the location is prime, the price is going to have to come down at least $30 million for this to sell.
$13,048 a sq ft. What a deal.
2007, top of the real estate market, sold for $43.7….2011, housing market mess> $88 mill… makes sense.
Ew. it’s in the upper WEST side. gross
One word comes to mind: Why?
This apartment will be haunted by the ghost of the criminal who owned it. Whoever gives this vampire that much profit will be cursed. The only cure for this apartment is to cut off the head of the bankster vampire who owns it and hang it from the chandelier in the living room. This apartment was bought with the tears of countless Americans.
