What It’s Like To Live In A $95-Million Penthouse 1,396 Feet Above New York City

432 Park Avenue – this is the address of the New York skyline’s newest ornament and of the tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere. Towering up to 1,396 ft, the skyscraper offers 104 apartments at 30,000 sq ft each with 12.5 ft ceilings, 10 x 10 ft windows, and prices ranging from $16,95 million to $82,5 million.

The breathtaking condo tower was designed by Rafael Viñoly and took three years to construct. It is situated in the center of Manhattan, and the upper penthouses offer a view of all of New York City: from the Hudson to the East River, from the Bronx to Brooklyn, and from Central Park to the Atlantic Ocean. The building also features a private restaurant with an outdoor terrace, a 75ft swimming pool/spa, a screening room/ performance venue, climate-controlled wine cellars, a children’s playroom and a board room.

The skyscraper will welcome its first residents next year, so if you’re looking for a nice little place in NY and have a solid bank account, you’d better hurry, as the penthouses are going like hot cakes.

Am I the only one that thinks these are incredibly bland? All the marble and white just makes it boring. Maybe I'm too poor to like it :-p

Boring and soulless, probably like the people who will be living there.

i guess that's a choice you make when you want the viewt to be the focus. who needs life and colour when you have the whole NYC?

Actually I think the view is just simply so amazing that too colorful house and decoration would take away the attention :)

What colour it should be then? Red? Green? White is classic, stylish and relaxing, and most of all beautiful!

I think they kept the decor in bland colors in order to keep the focus on the views that you can't help but notice from almost any angle.

It's not the quality. It's the price tag. Paying 95 million for a crappy apartment makes you special.

This is comparable to saying a white canvas at the art store is bland. I love it as a designer, because I'd prefer to style it my way.

I think it's just a counterweight for the view:) In such interiors THE view makes all of the beauty;furniture is just a neutral background;)

I was thinking that, too. The kitchen especially, just seems to be lacking a heart. The views are amazing, though.

No, it's bland (good choice of words there). I don't get the master bath that has no fixtures. Rich people don't pee?

The furniture is OK, but those white walls are just indifferent.

It is incredibly bland. Not to mention absolutely ostentatious. Maybe we are too poor to like it but if you have money to burn, why not?

Where is the big balcony? Can I open my window - No, you can't. OK thanks! I prefer to invest in 10 houses instead of concrete and steel.
