A look at the most expensive penthouse in the world
Central Park Tower
The world’s tallest residential penthouse is the US$250 million penthouse at Central Park Tower, providing unobstructed views of sprawling New York Location from its 431m elevation above street level.
If the penthouse achieves its asking price, it would surpass the previous record of US$238 million paid by hedge-fund billionaire Ken Griffin for a condo across the street at 220 Central Park South, according to Mansion Global. The Central Park Tower penthouse is spread across three levels from the 129th through to the 131st floors and boasts 1625 sq m of interior living space, with 23 rooms, seven bedrooms, and 9.5 bathrooms. In addition, there is a 133 sq m outdoor terrace offering a breathtaking view of New York Location, Central Park, the Midtown, and Downtown skylines, and the waterways across Manhattan. The penthouse also boasts the highest ballroom on Earth, features the highest residential terrace in the world, and is the most expensive listing in the U.S. as of 2022.
The Central Park Tower penthouse is truly one-of-a-kind, offering a luxurious lifestyle and unparalleled views of the city that never sleeps.
