A “vertical compound” portfolio of multiple separate condos at Olympic Tower in Midtown has hit the market for $34 million.
The units, at 641 Fifth Ave. — beside St. Patrick’s Cathedral — total 10 bedrooms over five apartments on the 23rd, 31st, 33rd and 49th floors — all with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and dazzling city views.
But is this all one seamless palace in the sky?
“They aren’t connected and can’t be,” said Compass listing broker Reba Miller, adding that they can work as a home and office spaces, with guest and staff apartments, but that the seller won’t split them up. “One seller, one buyer,” she added.
The 51-story building was developed by Aristotle Onassis in 1975; he was married to Jackie around the same time.

Olympic Tower dates to 1975. Zandy MangoldFormer owners at the address have included dictators like the late Ferdinand Marcos, arms dealers like the late Adnan Khashoggi — and even Hollywood stars like Nic Cage. That said, the actor’s former home there is on the market for a now-reduced $14.95 million, as Gimme Shelter recently reported. The Gucci sisters, Alessandra and Allegra — whose mom, Patrizia Reggiani, was convicted and jailed for hiring a hit man to murder their father, Maurizio Gucci — also own a duplex penthouse there. That has been on and off the market since 2015, and now asks $35 million for sale.
As for this new $34 million compound, its largest unit is a four-bedroom, 5,250-square-foot combo unit on the 49th floor — with panoramic city views, two large living and dining rooms, an eat-in chef’s kitchen, and a second kitchen with a service entrance.
The smallest unit is a 600-square-foot studio on the 23rd floor with a wood-paneled office alcove.
