The world’s highest duplex residence has come to market atop Central Park Tower on Manhattan’s Billionaires’ Row — the tallest mostly residential building in the world.
The 11,535-square-foot home, spanning the building’s 127th and 128th floors on West 57th Street, is seeking a stratospheric $128 million, according to Compass’ Gambino Group, which holds the listing. That mighty sum makes this nest the priciest residence for sale in the city, according to StreetEasy.
However, as big as the asking price is, it’s not a historic high for the Big Apple. In 2022, a penthouse in this same building listed for a breathtaking $250 million. That, after undergoing a price cut, was taken off the market.
Still, this duplex offers unobstructed views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline — and even far into the suburbs — through floor-to-ceiling glass wrapping its main living spaces.
