( 4UMF NEWS ) New York $85 Million Penthouse:
The dizzying view from the latest New York City apartment to go on the market isn’t the only thing that might make you feel a little queasy – the tall price might, too.
A six-bedroom penthouse condominium, which is likely to be the city’s heighest occupied space, is up for sale for an eye-watering $85 million.
The apartment is at the top of a 1,397-foot aluminum and glass tower currently under construction at 432 Park Ave., between 56th and 57th streets in Manhattan, which is set to be completed in 2015.
At 1,302 ft above the street, the penthouse will be taller than the observation deck at One World Trade Center, which is 1,251 feet, even though the building is 1,776 feet with a 408-foot antenna.
The 8,255-square-foot penthouse on Park Avenue will have floor-to-ceiling windows lining the rooms, which will measure an unusually high 12.5 feet, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The owners will also be able to enjoy a courtyard, circular drive and garden at the condominium, as well as a restaurant for residents and a private club with a pool.
Once completed, it will be the city’s second tallest building and the penthouse will be the highest occupied space – that is, with people living or regularly working inside.
