New York City, New York, United States--Soaring 1,416 feet above New York City, the Penthouse at Central Park Tower occupies the top three floors of the most significant building on Billionaires’ Row, spanning 17,545 sq. ft. of interior space with a glorious 1,433 sq. ft. outdoor escape; it sets the world record for being the World's Highest Apartment, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.
"The penthouse nestled atop Central Park Tower is not only the highest in New York City but also the most expensive, with an asking price of $250 million," the Entrepreneur reports.
"The 17,545-square-foot power pad includes seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and three powder rooms. And just in case the residents get bored of their living quarters, they also have access to the building's Central Park Club, which includes approximately 50,000 square feet of hotel-style services and amenities spanning three floors."
"An observatory, library, media room and serving kitchen are among the many luxury spaces found on the first floor of the penthouse," the People magazine reports.
"Guests can take the spiral staircase or the private elevator up to the second floor, where the bedrooms and recreation room are situated. The primary bedroom is also on the second floor and includes a sitting room, two dressing rooms and an en-suite bathroom."
"Atop the third floor sits the private ballroom with direct access to the Central Park-facing terrace, which is also deemed the highest terrace in the world. A catering kitchen, coat room, private study and two powder rooms are also located on the top level."
According to Gary Barnett, founder and chairman of Extell Development Company, "Central Park Tower has set a new bar for resort-style living, architectural innovation and impeccable interior design and the Penthouse is the crowning achievement."
"Not only is it the largest apartment on Billionaires’ Row and the largest in Central Park Tower, but it’s the largest condo currently for sale in New York City," the Forbes magazine reports.
"If those aren’t enough superlatives for a discerning buyer, it also has the highest ballroom and highest terrace in the world. There’s 17,545 square feet of interior space and 1,433 square feet of exterior space, and all three floors are connected via a grand spiral staircase."
"The modern marvel is a blank canvas, ripe for those who are filled with creativity and design inspiration. There are several massive living and entertaining spaces, as well as a kitchen exclusively for professional catering and another family kitchen."
