lol the irony is most people who buy places like these barely even look at the views. I've worked as a private nurse for several billionaires with prime central park views and i've never once seen them look out their windows.
It's pretty obvious by the construction elevator and material right outside the window that it's not fully complete yet. It's still a construction site, of course the windows aren't going to be clean yet. The building isn't planned to be done until the end of 2020.
The thing that this points out to me, and that they point to over and over, is that the real value is the green park below it. The windows matter more than the floor plan. And the tallest thing gets the most sun. 4:39. New York is dark. Very dark.
The people who spend 20 mil on this most likely already have a mansion somewhere else. If you have this kind of money, you can afford to live anywhere.
So? The people who buy these have apartments and mansions all over the world, and this is just a place to crash when they're in NYC. What's so bad about that, peasant?
You're mostly paying 28 million for: 1) Location - NY; and 2) Fancy new skyscraper - in NY! I'm pretty sure you can have a similarly sized apartment or house with the same furniture type for well less than 1 million in a lesser well-known location.
What he said: "It really turned out to be this amazing juxtaposition of old and new. As you stand here, and you look up, you have this amazing restored copper lantern that we prefabricated off original drawings and then this amazing contemporary tower behind it. So it's that old and new play that we were very excited about as developers." What my head understood: "We stuck this old thing on it and it's pretty cool."
All I was thinking was how nobody would even notice the lantern was there. It may be just some strategy or talking point they used to get approval of the building.
the historic commission said we had to keep it so we did. if these developers had their way they would flatten anything for a quick buck. history means nothing to them unless there is money in their pockets.

@plmvirginiauva yeah, a lot of these apartments end up getting bought by Saudi's and Chinese billionaires as investment properties. With the homelessness issue in NYC, you would think the city and state government would encourage more affordable housing properties instead of building empty glass boxes.
I've known people paying through the nose for views they never looked at. Location location location as they say, purely to show off. And then all those units sitting empty. Makes me so sad to think of how many people would genuinely treasure the view.
Rostyslav Karandashev I know I might sound insane but I’ve been in tall towers with elevators facing the side that shows the outside/skyline of a city. This seems very cool! And now, I don’t have that “scared of heights phobia” anymore. Unless I’m outside on a very,very tall building...

Say what you want about the prices and living that high up BUT as a New Yorker I absolutely LOVE how the skyline looks with this magnificent structure there. Its slender and unlike any other skyscraper and it's art deco façade is beautiful!
Cole Bagodoodoo You see, $28 million seems so huge to you that you cannot even believe someone who has that much would be talking to you. I’m going to buy a few apartments at Billionaires’ Row in a couple weeks, that is why I am watching these videos. What is funny about the comment? It’s completely true; $28 million is on the cheaper side for the people who buy here.
tomek SOZAN You do not need to guide me on what is a good investment or not unless you also are experienced in buying properties at Billionaires’ Row or other parts of Manhattan. It is a great time to be a buyer in Manhattan right now, as the prices are currently cheaper than usual. Many condominiums have gone as low as $7 million, even $5 million. However, I am not buying purely to invest, and most of my newest investments are in Miami. Most of my net worth comes from NYC, and it will always be my favorite place to invest.
Remarkably beautiful, but does anyone anyone else feel like they would feel a bit claustrophobic almost? In an enclosed space so high up in such a thin building, like you’re not really in control?
I actually really like the idea of living in such a place! It must be so secluded and peaceful but also has such a connection to the whole city (due to where it is and its views). I'm a bit of a skyscraper fan though.

@FULL RETARD the air rights would then come with the building. If something close was built of similar height, then the Steinway Tower would have to be demolished for it's air rights to be utilized. Only one can exist.
I couldn't really understand why New Yorker really obsesse with Central Park until I got to live there for a month. New York is filled with interesting stuffs and opportunities for sure. But there's little things that was missing like, seeing the sky from horizon to horizon, trees (i didn't know why little green there is in New York), wind like fresh, clean, wind and space. I wouldn't never ever live there. Visit, yes but I would never want to sacrifice seeings sky, trees, and feeling pure wind for an opportunity
I saw this building in person a couple months ago from the skating rink in Central Park below - you could see the skating rink, it's that big white area down there in Central Park

drees84 I’m pretty sure the potential buyers of these units are not making decisions about $40 Million apartments based on TH-cam videos, so not a very useful ad. But it is a pretty cool way to see a space that very, very few people in the world will ever have access to.

This skyscraper is the most accurate representation of what's left of the US budget after they spend north of $700 bn on their war profiteering machine.

@@catonpillow Now you're talking about changing the budget... different than saying "what's left of the budget" The US spends 3% of its GDP on defense, only one more percent than NATO requires. Few NATO countries hit NATO's agreed defense spending.
I can see why folks are upset about the shade cast on Central Park! I wonder if anyone is monitoring the situation to see if the shade is actually killing or damaging any of the trees or other plants, also have animals breeding or survival rates been affected by the lack of sunlight!! There are other considerations besides human ones when constructing our environments!!!
Back in the 1930’s, NYC legislated a building setback ordinance because the then new Equitable Insurance Building at 120 Broadway in the Financial District cast unacceptable shadows over the quadrangle of streets surrounding the building ; Nassau Street, Pine Street, Cedar Street, and across Lower Broadway, onto the historic Trinity Church yard and westward beyond. I am now ninety years of age, but vividly recall that architecturally-imposed “ Dark Canyon” robbing that historic sight of sunlight; when I was a 16 year old “Office Boy” in 1946-1947. The then new, yet still in effect, City Building Ordinance which mandates building set backs has become the national “ gold standard “ of building codes nationwide. The point is here that NYC legislators should promulgate code that controls and imposes restrictions on structures that artificially interfere with nature’s sunlight over publicly owned park space... I.e. Central Park. New Yorkers, please start a movement, pressuring your city councilmen and Board of Supervisors to take action in that direction. Thank you. from a native born New York retiree now residing in the Midwest.
Thank you for taking your time and giving us a precious glimpse of time, now so far removed from us. It is really nice to see that you still have your wits about you AND you mastered all the new technology.
at 3:36 they sped up the video to exaggerate how fast the elevator is descending. You can tell by the speed at which traffic is turning and people walking in the street below
Central park is huge and the sun is constantly moving, so even on a bright day, these towers wouldn't block any area for more than maybe a half hour at a time. And clouds create shadows all the time. So how is that really a big deal?
A lot of these apartments are used as ways for foreign nationals to smuggle money out of their countries. www.nytimes.com/2015/02/08/nyregion/stream-of-foreign-wealth-flows-to-time-warner-condos.html
True. Though in theory at least, there could be buildings that are up to about 450-500 years old in America. 1000s yrs old if you count the southwest pueblos and things like that.
28 million for an apartment? Just because it faces Central Park?... no backyard, no basement, and you are probably limited to 1 garage space if there’s even any
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I could so see myself waking up every morning looking out NYC and scowling at the skyline and "How dare they awake Madame from her slumber au glamour! Now I have to ring for my servant."
im really loving the extra view size!!! being able to drag the mouse around to what i want to look at is great but i am now going to put my virtual reality headset on and pray that this gets even better. hear we go. YaY!

A Greek Proverb: “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit”. This building is a great example of exactly the opposite of that quote and part of the reason we have the protests going on rn.
I love how he refers to the 94 year old lobby as historic, talking about the carved pillars like he's at the colosseum (nearly 2000 years old and actually historic).
And then slipping on a piece of ice that fell out of your 2000 dollar Champaign before plummeting for half a minute onto your gold plated sidewalk below
And every morning you get that breathtaking view of the park with a single, huge, long, shadow over it. A very unfortunate consideration to have to make. 1:03 And, across the street, so very many angry neighbors who have just recently lost their morning sunlight. Watching you with binoculars as you enter your building. And seeing which floor lights up about a ten minute elevator ride later.
¿ Ansg ? It's a problem for everyone else who has to look at it every clear day. Not to mention the trees in the park who rely on the sun to live. And every year, the tunnel left down below at street level gets darker, and darker. And that is your front yard. Where no sun ever filters down enough to grow flowers.
These developers need to build living space for those of us who are just trying to make an honest living. We don't needs more elite wealthy pissing on us.
Some times I wish I were really dumb and I did not know that such nice cities or properties exist... I think I would be happier being just ignorant. Marvelous apartments.

@@emmanuelleon9725 Yeah you are right. And as someone already mentioned, people who are going to buy this apartment, will never care about windows.

Yep. Everything we build buries the space below (and anyone living there)
And cast the longest shadows into the park, I notice.

That elevator is scary. Very scary.
Pathetic design overall
But for 20 Million i'd rather buy a good mansion plus good land.
But then you wouldn't be in NYC. It's probably one of the most fun cities in the world if you're a multimillionaire.

True. Though in theory at least, there could be buildings that are up to about 450-500 years old in America. 1000s yrs old if you count the southwest pueblos and things like that.
@@benjmiester yea but even if left alone those houses woulnd stand annymore i bet
when you want to live in new york but you want to live as far away from new york as possible
If anxiety was a building
28 million for an apartment? Just because it faces Central Park?... no backyard, no basement, and you are probably limited to 1 garage space if there’s even any
I know, right? There's also no place for a sand box, above-ground swimming pool, or a tool shed!
One of the coolest looking new buildings in NYC! Love it!
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I could so see myself waking up every morning looking out NYC and scowling at the skyline and "How dare they awake Madame from her slumber au glamour! Now I have to ring for my servant."
If the fire alarm goes off at 2:00 am, don’t use elevator
damn never thought of that ... my lazy ass will stay sleeping take my chances its a false alarm
Fun Fact, the clip descending at 3:45 is actually playing in reverse. You can see the cars driving backwards in the lower right
Still dont get why anyone would want to live there?!
I would love to live here. I don't have any plans on making reasonably more than 25 mil anytime soon, but when I do I'll have to update you
nobody "actually lives" here that buys these - think of it as a collection lol
This vid is really cool
I couldn’t help to giggle about his witty comments of a hypothetical wealthy New Yorker 😂
At 1:20 - that crane-thing really looks great! :-O
im really loving the extra view size!!!
being able to drag the mouse around to what i want to look at is great but i am now going to put my virtual reality headset on and pray that this gets even better. hear we go.
YaY!
YES, YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE. GIVE ME GIVE ME GIVE ME.
Bloomberg in 3D virtual reality!!!!!!!!!!!!
i LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!

YaY!
Amazing building!
I found a dime on the street yesterday
3:09 wrong, the tuned mass damper has a lot of inertia and keeps the buildings position stable. the tuned mass damper doesn't move
Tell me again, how, how does a firefighter come to you? On a helicopter from where? No way. Too windy, too dangerous.
UNBELIEVABLE! 3D VIDEO TOUR! Touch the screen and move like you're lookin at the real thing. Congrats on this video!
Now do you take payments ? LMFAO.
A Greek Proverb: “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit”. This building is a great example of exactly the opposite of that quote and part of the reason we have the protests going on rn.

The skyscraper: “so you think I’m SkinnnnYyyy!!! Let me have my moment, LET ME HAVE MY MOMENT. thank you
I can't wait to visit New York in September 2020.
that better not be on the 11th
There's gonna be a whole lot less people
Health Conscious Skyscraper ,
3D viewing superb
this is one of the coolest videos
I love how he refers to the 94 year old lobby as historic, talking about the carved pillars like he's at the colosseum (nearly 2000 years old and actually historic).
cool, super tall matchsticks the buildings of the future
Building sways
Residents: call 911, it's earthquake
911: nah, it's just windy today
Plane hits, building falls like domino.
Why would you call 911 for an earthquake?
@@gl4989 because
Legend has it that Ruth has been waiting in the lobby for an elevator ever since this video was uploaded.
I don’t care how much the apartment costs I would never live anywhere I can’t open the window or walk out into a balcony.
And then slipping on a piece of ice that fell out of your 2000 dollar Champaign before plummeting for half a minute onto your gold plated sidewalk below
@@cowmoo5596 Not everyone is 800 pound heifer like you that would break the whole railing off of a balcony if they slipped.
Don't you know they breathe rarified air? Their precious lungs can't handle outside air
is this guy low key roasting rich people the whole time? lol
With that price tag, I would rather buy 100 houses and rent them out to people.
This buyer is beyond the investment thinking you have in mind. There are lots of ways to make money.
The Vegan Chick I am in Central Park a lot and the view is way better laying out on the grass and looking around the park .
Because you don't have that money. This person likely has billions.
And every morning you get that breathtaking view of the park with a single, huge, long, shadow over it.
A very unfortunate consideration to have to make.
1:03 And, across the street, so very many angry neighbors who have just recently lost their morning sunlight. Watching you with binoculars as you enter your building. And seeing which floor lights up about a ten minute elevator ride later.
Feeding off the envy of others is as much as entertaining as motivating 👌
The shadow is really not that much of a problem since it covers only a fraction of the view.
¿ Ansg ?
It's a problem for everyone else who has to look at it every clear day. Not to mention the trees in the park who rely on the sun to live. And every year, the tunnel left down below at street level gets darker, and darker. And that is your front yard. Where no sun ever filters down enough to grow flowers.
Those sure were dirty windows. I know, the building is still under construction.
Very nice house
These developers need to build living space for those of us who are just trying to make an honest living. We don't needs more elite wealthy pissing on us.
Honestly with all that money I definitely would not live here! Extremely scary 😱
i think the reporter is under pressured, he looks stressed
Some times I wish I were really dumb and I did not know that such nice cities or properties exist... I think I would be happier being just ignorant. Marvelous apartments.
