(intense music) (upbeat music) - When you live above sound, when you are high enough
above the concrete jungle that is New York City, there is something about
the passage of time when you're in this home that I've never experienced
anywhere else in the world. And it's not just the
height, it's the volume, the 30 foot ceilings, the
space that's been crafted to be unlike anything else, which is why we call it
the one above all else. - Welcome to the penthouse
at Central Park Tower, the most expensive home for sale on earth with an asking price of $250 million. This is also the tallest
residential building in the world, towering 1,550 feet over New York City. Spanning over three floors, this incredible residence features over 17,000 square feet of interior space with an additional 1,433
square foot outdoor terrace, which provides the most jaw-dropping views of the entire city and beyond. I can't wait to show you everything this incredible penthouse
has to offer, so let's begin. (upbeat music) All right, everyone, once again, welcome to the penthouse
at Central Park Tower. This is the entry gallery where we have the two elevators coming up, beautiful hardwood floors
with Chevron pattern, nicely bordered, and
this is a perfect space for you to feature your art. Now, on my left hand side, we have the observatory and
the office facing Central Park and we're gonna see those spaces later. Now, I wanna bring everybody to this side so we can check out the grand salon, without a doubt, one of
the most impressive spaces in this penthouse, 27 foot high ceilings, approximately 1,500 square
feet, multiple seating areas, curated furniture, amazing
volume, and breathtaking views. Facing north, we're
looking at Central Park, Upstate New York, this is just unreal. - [Mikey] Yeah, this is incredible. This is the highest penthouse in the world and the views are absolutely insane. - Just unbelievable. I mean, you can see the entire park and the lake in Central Park
looks so small from here. I guess 1,416 feet of elevation from New York City gives
you this amazing view. - [Mikey] The whole park
really looks small from here, but it's insane. - Absolutely, and this is
your first seating area. Minimalist furniture, stone coffee tables. Right in the center, we
got this gorgeous piano, but more importantly, before we talk about
the seating area here, can we take everybody this way? I wanna talk about the views. Now we're facing east. Down below us is 57th Street, also known as Manhattan's
Billionaires' Row. And the building that
we have right next to us is 157 West 57th, the original
Billionaires' Row Tower. It was also built by Extell,
who's also the developer here. - Extell created Billionaires' Row. This was never a thing
until Extell came around and built 157 West 57, and
then set the plans in motion to create the tallest
residential tower on earth at Central Park Tower. I mean, it's really the
genius behind Gary Barnett and his entire team, who are some of the most
consummate professionals I've ever met in this business to really create a new paradigm
for luxury real estate. This was West 57th Street that
people knew as a throughway. They knew 57th Street is
where Carnegie Hall is. But Extell came through
and turned one street in one city on one island into one of the most
valuable locations on earth. And what we're sitting in right
now is the pinnacle of that. - On Billionaires' Row,
you also have 111 West 57. Behind that you can see 432 Park Avenue. We toured the 79th floor unit there and that was the highest
unit we've ever toured on our channel. Now we are here on 129th
floor of Central Park Tower. We have definitely upgraded. - [Mikey] Elevated quite a bit. - Quite a bit, right? And just unbelievable views, East River, Manhattan, I'm out of words. All right, now let's talk about
the secondary seating area. Long sectional couch, massive
coffee table in the center. Again, amazing volume. This way we're facing south, rest of Manhattan all the
way to the Statue of Liberty, just an incredible grand salon. Now, before we leave this room, I wanna talk about the
specs of this penthouse. We have seven bedrooms,
eight full, three half baths, 17,545 square feet of interior space. On the top floor, we have a
1,433 square foot terrace, which I cannot wait to show you. On the market for $250 million, and with that price tag, it is currently the most expensive home for sale in the world. It is also the highest
residence in the world. Big thanks to the developer here, Extell, and the listing agents Ryan
Serhant and Loy Carlos, for making this tour possible. More information about this penthouse will be in the description of this video. And yeah, we are honored to be here. - [Mikey] Yeah, it's an
incredible experience just to get to walk around this place. It's like floating on
top of the whole world. - Couldn't agree more. All right, that's it for the grand salon. Now, I wanna take everybody this way so we can check out
the formal dining room. Amazing stone table right
in the center that sits 12. This is Panda marble, by
the way, chandelier above. We have the ceiling here, a little bit lower than
the grand ballroom, so it feels a little bit more cozy. I love these exposed columns. It just shows you the
weight of this building, weight of this penthouse, and then you have these amazing views. Can you imagine having a dinner here with your friends, with your
family, and looking outside? - [Mikey] It would be
absolutely incredible. We have no idea what this
place looks like at night, but I can't imagine that it looks bad. - I'm sure it looks phenomenal
and it's just breathtaking. In fact, down below us is Times Square and you can literally watch
the ball drop on New Year's straight from your penthouse. How amazing is that? - [Mikey] Yeah, that's incredible, not to mention all of the
other iconic landmarks that we can see to our south from here. - Empire State Building,
Chrysler Building, the Freedom Tower, East
River, Hudson River. I mean, these views are fantastic. And I wanna apologize in
advance for mentioning the views from every single room, but
we have to, we are so high up. New York looks like a
movie from this penthouse. Now, follow me this way. We have a pocket door here
that leads us to the kitchen, all lacquer cabinetry,
island in the center, slab's from Italy, beautiful
quartzite countertops. We have the main sink here, two dishwashers on the island,
wine fridge, base cabinetry. And on this side you have
more of your built-ins, Miele appliances, you have
your ovens, warming drawer, built-in freezer and
fridge, espresso maker. And coming to this side, you have your gas cook tops,
multiple cook tops here, grill, griddle and more views. Can't get better. - [Mikey] Incredible views everywhere. - Everywhere, right? And I wanna do this thing. Mikey, can you come to this side? They have a knock knock dishwasher. - [Mikey] Oh really? - I had to do it on the highest penthouse
in the world, you know? - Yeah.
- There you go, Miele. That's it for the kitchen. By the way, we'll have
an amazing chef's kitchen that we're gonna see on the
third floor of this penthouse right next to the ballroom, and
yeah, this is the first one. Follow me this way. It leads us to another dining
area, table in the center, seating for six, all imported
furniture from Brazil. And by the way, even though
it's staged as a dining area, this could be a phenomenal family room. You get amazing views. I mean, Hudson Yards is
literally right there. And while we're up here, I
wanna talk about one more thing. In New York, by law, you
have to have fresh air supply for every single room in your residence and that's why throughout this penthouse we have these casement windows, but I'm sure it'd be nice to just open up these windows and let
some fresh air in, you know? - [Mikey] Yeah, weather
outside is great today we- - We got lucky.
- Yeah. New York, we expect it to be cold, but it's starting to warm
up, I think, you know. - Absolutely, and just amazing. All right, follow me this way. We have a long hallway here that takes us the two guest suites. They both face west and they both come with
their own bathrooms. And coming here, we have
this door leading us back to the entry gallery. We have few more rooms that
we're gonna see on this side, but first I wanna bring everybody here so we can check out this
incredible structural staircase. It connects all three floors. It's a winding staircase and
it takes advantage of this, give or take, 50 foot glass atrium that faces the west and north. It's just a phenomenal
moment in this penthouse and I just love how it's
all open riser, steel frame, and it is not attached to the facade. It's actually attached to
the corner column right here and it is also connected to each level, so it's literally floating in the center of this 50 foot opening. Even the glass railing curves. What an amazing staircase. - [Mikey] You answered my question. I was gonna ask how it's floating, but I feel like you
made that pretty clear. - Yeah, it's right there
attached to the corner column and it's just an experience
to get on this staircase, go to the second or third floor, and enjoy these amazing views. I think the design team
here did a fantastic job with the building and the penthouse and when you think about it, they spent over $3 billion
to build this place. They poured over 360
million pounds of concrete and that's just crazy to me. Those numbers are just unbelievable. - I can't even quantify that in my head. - Absolutely, and yeah,
this is the staircase. Now, let's continue our tour
back to the entry gallery. We're gonna go through this door to check out the media room, another comfortable seating area, sectional couch, Bang & Olufsen TV
on the other side, high ceilings, amazing views, and we're gonna talk about the
views, like I said earlier, because this penthouse
gives 360 degree views of New York City. Now, back to the entry gallery. We actually have a powder bathroom here. Beautiful finishes. And coming back this way, let's
talk about the observatory. This has to be one of my
favorite rooms in the penthouse. Scale, view corridors, everything about it just feels right and we have Central Park
right in front of us. I mean, does it get much better? We are currently in the
highest residence in the world and these are our views. I'm out of words. I feel so grateful. I feel thankful to Extell
and Ryan for giving us the opportunity to tour this penthouse and we started this
journey four years ago. Here we are touring an
amazing unit like this. I have Central Park behind me. - [Mikey] Let's not forget
our viewers also, you know. - It's all thanks to you guys. - [Mikey] Ryan, Extell,
and every single person watching this video has gotten
us up into this penthouse. - Absolutely, I mean, we
have such a crazy life. One day we were in The Bahamas touring Tommy Hilfiger's yacht, another day we're in New York City touring a penthouse like this. Life's good, can't complain. - [Mikey] It's incredible. - And I can talk about this
view and this room forever. I mean, it's just like Central Park is right in front of you. And because we don't have
anything in front of us, it somehow feels very close to you. You can see the entire park. I can see people walking,
enjoying this place, Upstate New York, Hudson, East River. I mean it's, we are so high up, never seen a view like this in my life. - [Mikey] Yeah, it's really incredible. Everything down there, you just feel so, I don't know if disconnected
is the right word. You just feel so high
above everything, really. - And that's another thing. This unit is so quiet. It's hard to believe that you
have New York City below you. And yeah, these are your views. Now coming back to the
observatory, minimalist seating, curated furniture, you
even have a telescope here. And right on the other side, we have this opening
taking us to the office. I personally have a soft spot for offices because I love working, but I don't think we're
ever gonna see an office like this ever again. You've got this beautiful
desk, your chair, some open shelving on the back and the wallpaper here is cork, and within this cork wallpaper, it has little flecks of metal in it, so it reflects the light and it's just a really unique finish. And then this is where
you just sit down, relax, get some work done, and enjoy these views. (upbeat music) The magnitude of Central Park Tower is not just in its height and its size, but also in the effort that
it took to build this project. It took nearly two decades and $3 billion to bring this architectural
marvel to life, overcoming challenges and
pushing the boundaries of what is possible in
engineering and design. - Especially to do this in New York City. It's one thing to build a tower like this anywhere else in the world
where you have plenty of space. It's another thing to take
about almost 20 years of time to plan, to strategically set up the site, to dig down, to get the
approvals, the permits, everything, to then go
straight up into the air to build something so
magnificent and slightly crazy that brings us here to this day. - [Enes] The sheer scale
of Central Park Tower is awe-inspiring. This 1,550 foot tower was
designed by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill Architecture
and houses 179 units and is a masterpiece
of modern architecture. - I think great architecture doesn't need to make a statement, especially when it's a residential tower. I think it needs to find
its place in the world and the location in which it is and let the unit owners
create their own dream homes one by one by one. - [Enes] The width of the building and the cantilevered section combined
has 12,100 pieces of glass that covers this facade
and creates a unique and striking visual
aesthetic that is a testament to the innovation and the
creativity of the design team. The center core concrete
foundation of the building houses the majority of
the structural columns, creating the perfect opportunity for elevators and utility areas, while the exterior perimeter
requires fewer setback columns, allowing for unobstructed
views from the interior. To make this architectural
marvel possible, 360 million pounds of concrete was poured to frame this megastructure, and on top it features the largest and heaviest mass damper in the world. This massive counterweight
counteracts a movement of the earth and wind, ensuring the stability and
the comfort of the building. I can't believe this, but we made it here. Right behind me is the tuned mass damper, weighs around 1200 tons. It is the biggest and the
heaviest damper in the world and it is unlike anything I
have ever seen in my life. It looks incredible and it helps with the strength of this building. But Central Park Tower is not just about its iconic exterior design. The building boasts and array of exclusive amenities for its residents, including the Central Park Club. This luxurious private club features a 60 foot long outdoor swimming pool with a cabana deck, poolside
service, and a private park. There's also a screening
room within the building and a wellness area that
offers an indoor pool and spa, fitness center, and a beauty lounge. The Central Park Club also extends to the 100th floor of the tower where their exclusive
amenity package continues. The 100th floor features a grand ballroom and wine and cigar lounge, and
a private bar and restaurant with curated menus created
by Michelin Star chefs. Despite all of the amenities and the impressive
engineering achievements, the highlight of Central Park Tower and this penthouse is
yet to come on our tour. Now let's check out the second
floor of this penthouse. This is where we have four
guest suites on this wing and the primary bedroom
suite on my left hand side. I know everybody wants to
see the primary bedroom, so follow me this way. Double doors open up. We have this long hallway. First, let's cover the seating area, Chevron pattern hardwood
floors, minimalist seating, amazing views, seating area
for the primary bedroom. Now, I wanna take everybody
back to the hallway. We have two full bathrooms
dedicated to the primary bedroom. We're gonna start our tour with this one. Marble floors, marble walls,
everything is book matched. We have the vanity on this
side with LED lighting, mirrors and your medicine cabinets, and going to the other side, massive walk-in shower, chrome
fixtures, rain head above. Next to that is your
dedicated water closet, just a beautiful bathroom. Now it gets better because
right on the other side we have the second bathroom and this is the one that
I'm really excited about because we're facing the park. Look at this freestanding tub. It's all jetted and can you imagine bathing here, just relaxing? We're on 130th floor of the building and this is your backdrop, phenomenal. And here's another fun
fact about this unit. We're so high up that no one
can see inside of this unit. When you're down there and you look up, you can't see anything. And it's hard to understand that since this is all-glass building, but again, we're so high up that you basically have
the city just yourself, at least from this penthouse. Again, Central Park. Look at this beautiful walk-in shower. Again, it's all stone. Everything is book matched. Same for the floors. And then coming to this
side, we have the vanity. I like how the frame of the doors are all wrapped in chrome, super cool. Then you have this mirror wall and it's not just a wall,
it's also medicine cabinet. Wanted to point that out. And just a beautiful bathroom and I can't get over the views. You have your glass-sectioned
water closet here and that's it for the second bathroom. Now, follow me this way. Before we check out the
primary bedroom itself, I wanna show these two massive spaces. This is your first dedicated
room for your walk-in closet. A lot of times on these high
rises or in these developments, they leave the walking closets open, that way the end user
can come in and design it to their taste, design it
to their specification, and that's why this room is empty. And in fact, back to the hallway,
we have another room here. This would be your second walk-in closet so you have plenty of space to
accommodate all your clothes. Now, follow me this way. Welcome to this primary bedroom. I mean, take it all in. Hardwood floors, seating area here, your king size bed with
a padded back wall, and then you have these views. Once again, I'm sorry, we keep
talking about Central Park, but how do we not? And during the day, you
get this phenomenal view. At night, it totally changes character. Obviously park is gonna
be a little bit darker, then you will have the
glowing city lights. It's just fantastic
that you can appreciate and enjoy the city from
your primary bedroom. And with that, we're
done on the second level and we're done with this
incredible primary bedroom. (upbeat music) This ballroom is unlike anything we have ever seen in any home. It's around 2,000 square feet
with 27 foot high ceilings. It is located on the 131st
floor of Central Park Tower and it is part of your penthouse. It's perfect for private dinners,
runway shows, fundraisers, and the list goes on and on and on. You can easily have two to 300
people here very comfortably and it's one of those
moments on the property where you just wanna
stop, look around you, and take these views in. It's fantastic. And with the building,
elevation, the unit itself and all of it coming
together, in my opinion, it's one of a kind. - [Mikey] Yeah, this is really incredible. As you said, we've never seen
anything quite like this, but I feel like as crazy as this is, what's even crazier is
the fact that we have a terrace right outside
that's about half this size, which we're gonna see in just a second. - Absolutely, I'm really
excited for that space. And this is your ballroom. Just unbelievable. Now, gets better because
right on the other side, we have a hallway that
leads us to few rooms. This door opens up your private elevator that runs the three levels. Then coming here we have two doors. They each open to a
beautiful powder bathroom. We have the first one here, second powder bathroom on
this side with same finishes, and then hallway leads
us to the chef's kitchen, all stainless steel cabinetry,
island in the center, heat lamps above to keep your food warm. We have a sink, speed dishwashers, gas stove, vent above,
refrigerator drawers, and you have a Sub-Zero fridge right here. Really nice space that
complements your ballroom or complements the penthouse. And I gotta mention, even though this penthouse
is fully finished, you can still reconfigure the space. Since you have the
central core in the center and you have the exterior columns basically framing the penthouse, you can knock out all the
walls, all the hallways, reconfigure the entire
space and make it your own and I say that because I
have a feeling the end user might come in and they may
put their own personal touches and they have so much
potential with this penthouse. Now, before we leave the chef's kitchen, I also wanna mention
there's a hallway here that leads to few rooms, study,
possible space for a gym, and a storage area, and with that, we're done with the
interior on the third floor. Now, let's check out that amazing terrace. What an amazing outdoor space on the 131st floor of this building. Our elevation, views around us, and how quiet it is up here
is just hard to explain. It's so peaceful. You're above the city. We have 10 foot triple-paned
glass railing throughout to make this space more
comfortable and safe. That's Central Park right there, rest of the city around you. I mean, it's fantastic. It's hard to explain what it
feels like to walk this terrace and enjoy the city, I'm out of words. - [Mikey] Yeah, this is incredible. This is definitely unlike
anything we've ever seen. I would've thought it would be like windy or something up here, but it's so quiet. - It's so comfortable being up here. - [Mikey] It's hard to believe that one of the busiest
cities in the world is below us right now because
you can't hear anything. - I agree, and such a trophy property too. I feel like whoever buys this home, they're gonna own a piece of
art that no one will ever own. They'll be the only people to hold the key to a special home like this. And what an honor for us
to get the opportunity to tour this penthouse and
share it with all of you, and now let's see this place at dusk. (reflective music) The view from this height
and vantage is truly magical. Witnessing it is a profound experience, no matter who you are
or where you come from. From up here, it feels
as if each light below were a small dream, representing
the hopes and ambitions of every person who calls
New York their home. But New York is more than just a city. Across the world, it is
a symbol of opportunity, freedom and liberty. As you walk through its streets, you can feel its energy,
it's cultural texture, and it's never-ending relentless spirit. New York represents
possibility, hard work, and what can be achieved in this life if you dare to dream big enough. And the penthouse at Central Park Tower, rising above the rest of
the New York City skyline, is the pinnacle of that dream. (dramatic music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music continues) All right, everyone, that's
it from the penthouse at Central Park Tower. Hope you all enjoy this video. Big thanks to the developer
Extell and the listing agents Ryan Serhant and Loy Carlos
for making this tour possible. And as always, you can
find more information about this listing in the
description of this video. Lastly, if you enjoyed the
tour, give us a like, subscribe, and we'll see you guys next week. (gentle upbeat music)
These dividers on the terrace look really cheap. There should have been a better solution for reinforcing the glass wall.
