Renowned landscape architect James Corner, who is responsible for some of New York City’s most esteemed parks and landscapes, has listed his sprawling duplex penthouse, The Post has learned.

Corner, who steered one of his most notable creations, the iconic High Line Park, was also responsible for designing Domino Park in Brooklyn, Freshkills Park on Staten Island, and the Cornell Tech Campus site on Roosevelt Island, among many other projects.

His two-bedroom, two-bath residence is priced at $3 million.

Only steps from the High Line, the unit boasts a sprawling, private outdoor space that spans 600 square feet and is surrounded by greenery.

His home is complete with a custom-designed open living/dining room, featuring coffered wood ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. 

There’s also a minimalist kitchen that seamlessly blends into the space.

The High Line is a reimagining of the 1.45-mile-long former New York Central elevated rail line that was led by Corner’s team and has become one of New York’s top tourist attractions, hosting more than 7 million visitors per year. 

It prompted the redevelopment of the surrounding neighborhood — which is now home to dozens of new residential buildings, hotels, shops, restaurants and office buildings. 

Inspired by the High Line, cities across the globe have repurposed abandoned infrastructure as public space in hopes of spurring economic development. The practice is known as the “High Line effect.”
