But I think 225 W57 could beat them both. We'll see.

They coulda got 200 million had they asked, There's a buyer for everything, and some super-rich typhoon would be the candidate(because he could,, and wouldn't let it go to anyone else). They shoulda had a bidding war, I imagine it woulda fetched far more than 95, they shoulda set the minimum at 95, unless that's illegal to do business that way. I just think they coulda got more especially if One57 got 90, like the other member was saying, this is more attractive, and TALLER, and has a 360 degree view, Best of both worlds Central Park, Midtown, and farther away Downtown Does anybody know the sq footage between the 2. I bet you can see Yankee and Shea stadium from that height.
My bad Just checked out a diagram somebody posted, somewhere, I didn't realize the top 8 floors were mechanical, I was under the impression the Penthouse was the very top and the roof was an option, "or at least some of the roof,, for a small "roof space" for that price,, Nah not worth 95million in my eyes.
Serious question why would they use the top 8 floors for mechanical, couldn't they have had those tied in lower and use the upper 8 for the BIG BUCKS!!! I'm no engineer or architect, but there was no way to put those mech floors 8 floors, below the 8 there going to use, and use the top 8 as condos? Are they worried of exhaust, or other factors I'm unaware to? It Seems like with 8000 square ft you could make some pretty high-tech looking exhaust chutes,(or whatever) going throuh the middle 8 condos, like beams, and fancy them up, like cool chimneys, or places to hang plasma tv's art etc. Is it all the exhaust or whatever their worried about from the maintenance, maybe send it out the side of the bldg? I know somebodies gotta know why they would use that PRIME real estate as maintenance, instead of flip-flopping the 8 floors and their uses.. I'm sure somebody could explain why they would do that? Just seems like a BIG waste of the Top Dollar they're seeking, and definitely woulda got had they been switched, somebody help me out, what am I not seeing here?
