Discussion about 91 Central Park West #PHA

This is a major project in an apartment that they haven't been able to prove was owned by Hearst. The owner is trying to sell this apartment with a premium for the architectural plans he had drawn up for the space. However, these plans are geared towards a bachelor (he gets rid of 2 of the bedrooms) and don't fit into the building's architecture at all - they are for a more modern building. The bones of the place are good and some of the architectural original details are great, but the stained windows can't be touched (landmark protected) and it can feel frustrating being on a penthouse on CPW and not having a clear view of the park. Plus, some of the windows aren't true stained glass but are painted glass.

Tower lounge with wet bar? Yes, please.

By the way anyone who would even consider ripping out those amazing original details and finishes should be strung up by the nutz and roasted on a spit over hellfire.

That's a beauty, 30yrs. Shame about the five cell antennae looming over the outdoor space... Wonder if they had any impact on value?

The current owner of this apartment is the CEO of T-Mobile. Not sure why he put this back on the market after only 3 years without ever moving in. Just a guess but it may have something to do with the recent change in tax laws which no longer enable the sizable tax deductions for the wealthy on mortgages.

News reports say that he is selling because he renewed his contract at T-Mobile which is based in Washington State. Not sure how true that is because he is in New York City quite often as his family lives here and he still stays at his condo on the upper west side (west 60's near Lincoln Center) when he's in town.
