I actually think this is the best looking of the Billionaire's Row towers. Granted the bar is set pretty low, and 432 and 111 are absolutely atrocious, but this one at least tried.

Regardless of the building, the views are absolutely stunning, and if I had the money I'd absolutely live there.

I agree. If I had that money, there's not a chance in h*ll I'd buy in that building.

I'd buy a townhouse or brownstone in the W Village, UES, UWS or Brooklyn.

Waste of money. The issues you would have in a building that high up? For $33 million it better be absolutely perfection. And it won't be... LOL

That entire block is very valuable with very high demand

We sold two of the apartments in 2008-2009 in the depths of the Great Recession for just 10% less then the record high at that time
Yes, we know. If God came down and told us he the bible was his work every other day, we'd get tired of it as well.

No doubt. It will be action packed. Strippers, midgets, jet-skis, rib-eye steaks, beer, etc...

The average condo in the building sells for 33 million dollars.

The actual condos are nice, but in my opinion, not jaw dropping. The views are however spectacular.

I think the primary allure for people who choose to buy there, is knowing that their address is highly prized, because it is occupied primarily by billionaires.

Would you buy in the building if you had the money? I wouldn't.

It's probably vacant most of the time. I wonder if there's some ridiculous tax abatement or low property tax valuation on it--probably. BlakeJones is right--these are just safety deposit boxes. The city needs to make its property tax assessments to be sensible one day.
