101 W67 PH3B - welcome to stupid town

There's so much wrong here. And seriously - 8 baths for 5 bed rooms?? What's the point??

Ha, striped floors and glazed-mirror walls, 9 bedrooms, sound insulated? I must have a dirty mind.

It has two kitchens. Is that permitted under building codes?

what a gauche place. that kitchen is SOOO 1995.
Yick, I wouldnt move there if you GAVE the place to me.
REALLY

Hey that kitchen has marble floors! ;-)

Care to take a guess where this ends up going into contract?

Not much terrace for plantin' to tomaters.

this place is so not worth it.

995 5th avenue is much more impressive... and a lot cheaper

what none of you foolish people realize is that this place has a COLOR FLOOR PLAN. Plus, the plan is ultra-tiny like a scene painted inside a precious Faberge Egg. That is why it is worth 1 billion dollars and is a steal for the asking price.

Well, I'll say it out loud, since no-one saw what I saw: high-end bordello! That's why you need so many bathrooms. Put a grand piano on that striped floor, and you're in business.
Alternatively, a Russian oligarch might appreciate just how much maple, ironwood and marble went into the place. It's just SO MUCH materials. They just need to increase the price by at least $10 million; they can't be taken seriously otherwise.

Now seriously. I believe a famous borker who should know better said it best.

If this POS bordello was $15mm, would you want to 'own' it? Flmaozzzzzzz

You all are missing the obvious here. Where else can you find this kind of space with monthlies this low. The obvious long-term savings are why someone would be willing to pay up for this.

maly's right. no self-respecting russian oligarch would pay so little for sooo much.

Maybe they're hoping Howard will buy it to avoid having to live next to someone who would pay that much to live next door to him. He just re-signed with Sirius, so maybe he wants to buy Beth a little something to celebrate.

looks like Moscow on the Hudson. Uber gauche

if you want to save a couple of rubles, there's apt 44ABE, asking $16.9
Among other things, it has "his and hers mahogany dressing rooms with built-in leather valet accessory drawers by Louis Vuitton"

I've been to a party at this residence:

to say it kicks ass is an understatment.

I bet it's breath taking, but would you want to live there? These apts feel a bit cold to me

AR: the 2003 comps for 21D & 21E don't look right to me. As far back as '97, 1brs were closing in on 500k there.

10023, those actually aren't my comps, but they don't look right to me either (for the current listings, at least). they reference much smaller units, the earliest sales were bank sales.

My bad. Dwell, those don't look right.

dwell, like all recently built 'all window' buildinds what you surrender in warmth and charm you exchange for amazing unbroken views. The phenominal art collection warmed the place right up.

Yes, 2003 prices do look weird for 21D & E.
But, look at the price jump for 34C: up more than $1mm in 12 years.

Someone just posted the listing for 25N. I noticed that the broker did not post a floor plan for 25N & then I realized why: it's an alcove studio, asking $777K!

Is there kool aid in the water system of this bld?

I hear ya falco, guess it's not my thing

dwell, i don't know what's going on but 21d and 21e both went from being 700ish sf units to over 3000. maybe the current incarnation of the 21st floor includes a couple of different possibilities that include different combos but the broker isn't listing all the apartments in the combos.

no doubt the prices have escalated hugely, these just seem like odd ducks.
