Just nuts. The CHEAPEST one can be had for a simple $4720/sqft.
What a nice 3 bedroom in Manhattan would go for rent per month would pretty much buy you 1 sq ft in the cheapest and smallest unit. Even if you wanted to keep a prisoner in a 6x6 cell or 36 sqft somewhere in that unit, I'd still cost you 169k. |
^ Plus condo association fees.
|
^ ^^ LOL definitely not worth keeping a prisoner. $169K and it doesn't even come with a creepy windowless basement.
46 total units. Unbelievable. As spectacular as this building is, I would opt for the $20 million dollar penthouse in the adjacent Steinway building, so I could sit on my terrace and stare straight up at the glorious terra cotta. And I would of course make friends with a duplex owner so I could crash at his 75th floor pad for free. |

If I could just get my hand on maybe a 5 ft model of this...

For the model, did they overlook or not bother with the illumination for the terra-cotta and the lattice crown?
|
This tower almost looks illegal. So amazing.

The duplexes will feel not much different than a Chicago 2-flat, except 1,000 feet in the air.
Look at the "core" of this building. Really took some imagination. Unlike anything on earth! |

That bldg model is gorgeous. They should donate it to the Skyscraper Museum eventually.
|
^ That would be nice. The skyscraper museum should have some supersized exhibits. Not sure if they have the space for it in the current location.
Two towers beginning to show their dominance... https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn-N9z5g...ascanadianinny https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram...38633379_n.jpg https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn986NxA...n-by=sebas1181 https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram...55356159_n.jpg |

How does the Kingdom Tower have a Chicago connection or the CMG Tower in Beijing? |

I never noticed this until closely examining the model but the random placement of the east/west windows will create a really cool lighting effect at night.

One57 isi now in 4th place on 57th Street. It would be further back if 53w53 weren't back a few blocks. I think at the current pace, Steinway could temporarily pass Central Park Tower.

Why are terra cotta pieces falling off? It’s not even finished and already falling apart?

The balcony units take advantage of the setbacks. The tower will top out in 3 months.

I'm drooling looking at these floor plans and renderings. But it makes me think of something. If you're on one of the top floors, and drunkenly enter the stairwell from your unit, would you have to walk 1,000 feet down to the lobby just to hop back on the elevator?

You can see some "hidden" floor plans as well on the website. Most are duplicates, but these are some unique ones:
The unit with a double height living area: http://111w57.com/content/themes/111...Tower%2061.pdf Nice unit with outdoor space, probably the one I'd pick as a billionaire: http://111w57.com/content/themes/111...wer%20PH76.pdf As they get higher the usable space on the south side gets awkward: http://111w57.com/content/themes/111...wer%20PH80.pdf |
^^The drunken stumble/locked stairwell concern is actually not unfounded. I imagine the units above and below your own would be locked, unlike many office buildings where you can go in and out of the stairwells somewhat freely. So unless the doors have keypad incase you forget your keys, you're in for a 1,000 foot trek to the ground floor. Or a blow through floor.
Thanks nyc_alex for posting those links. The floorplans show observatories along with drawings of telescopes. What a classy development. Can you imagine owning a 1,200' observatory? Only in New York! |
I imagine the stairwell will have phones as well for calling the front desk. That said, how drunk would you have to be to get lost in your own home and go into a stairwell. Maybe a guest? It isn't a unique problem to this building, though.
|
I'm trying to figure out how the "private elevator" works? They all seem to be in the same location in the building, all with direct access to each unit. What's to stop somebody riding the elevator accessing your apartment? Or at least looking into it as you get off? There does seem to be a major privacy concern to me.
