Most Expensive Properties in New York City

New York City is home to some of the most expensive residential real estate in the world, centered in ultra‑luxury condominium towers along “Billionaires’ Row” in Midtown Manhattan. Among these, 220 Central Park South stands atop the list. Developed by Vornado and designed by Robert A.M. Stern and Thierry Despont, it’s known for panoramic Central Park views and a limestone façade. In 2019, billionaire Ken Griffin paid $238 million for a four‑floor quadplex there—the highest price ever paid for a U.S. residence. Other penthouses have sold for $188 million and $82.5 million as recently as 2022 and 2025 respectively.

A close rival is Central Park Tower at 217 West 57th Street, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill and delivered by Extell. This 1,415‑foot tower offers residences starting around $6.9 million up to over $195 million for a triplex penthouse once listed at $250 million—nicknamed “The One Above All Else”.

Also notable is One 57 (2014), where a Park Hyatt penthouse of over 10,000 sq ft sold for $100 million. Developed by Extell and designed by Christian de Portzamparc, the building blends modern glass architecture with high‑end amenities.

432 Park Avenue, a slender iconic tower on Park Avenue, saw penthouse sales between $65 million and over $95 million, with occasional listings near $82 million.

520 Park Avenue, designed by Robert A.M. Stern and completed in 2018, featured a triplex penthouse reported at up to $130 million, with a remaining penthouse finally selling in 2024 for roughly $79 million.Most expensive properties in New York City
