Put it this way:
The first three pics in that set were the stuff of dreams at the turn of the century. (I would've said millennium; but it sounds more dramatic...) |

Getting closer to overtaking One57. I can remember when Cityspire was the tallest residential tower, but this one will nearly double it in height. |
BTW, are they building any indoor parking with these big condo towers?

One57, the first Billionaires Row supertall, has no parking. 432 Park has a few spaces. So short answer is maybe, and just a few spaces. I'm sure the zoning docs would reveal if there's parking. Edit: One57 actually does have parking. I just checked the 58th street side, and there is a garage. |

Its a luxury to have parking within newer towers (especially in Manhattan) along with being somewhat not as common or even rare to see, and... you'll pay a ton too for a permanent parking spot designated for "X" purchaser. People buy parking spots, sometimes, it can go for well over 100k.

NY doesn’t need parking because wealthy New Yorkers don’t drive. They have drivers with Escalades who stay in the vicinity and are avaible on demand.

Re the parking points above, I agree that the demand for parking is minimal. I would still expect it (underground) in some of the city's most expensive buildings. Even if only to store a private car for weekend trips to the Hamptons that the chauffeur drives. Sometimes the helicopter goes on the fritz...in all seriousness, it's a little surprising to me. Some buildings do take other approaches. Like the Selldorf building with its "sky garage". https://ny.curbed.com/2010/10/28/104...rage-penthouse

This is dated, but if you wanna get more into parking and pricing, here's an article. I don't want to bog this thread down in it. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/10/r...king-spot.html tectonic Photo https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/881/27...53dfc334_k.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/879/26...3baee4bb_k.jpg |

Even many superluxury projects have no parking. I'm pretty sure 520 Park Ave., one of the most expensive residential buildings ever built, with a $130 million penthouse, has no parking. NYC is just different. Rich people use cars, of course, but they're rarely driving themselves in Manhattan. |

Most garages don't allow driver access, and you would just have the car delivered to your building anyways. Even if the garage is physically in your building, you probably can't go into the garage yourself. So, in your example, the household would keep a car for the Hamptons, but in a neighborhood garage, and it would be delivered to the building entrance when needed. |
