The Central Park Tower, the tallest residential condominium in the world, is on course to break a new record with its apartment for sale at US$250 million.
The triplex penthouse, located at 217 West on 57e street, the alley of the billionaires, should arrive on the market Monday for the indecent sum of $250 million US, or more than $330 million Canadian, according to the New York Post.
If it were to be purchased at the asking price, it would become the most expensive home ever sold in the country. Such a large purchase would smash the record currently held by billionaire Ken Griffin, who spent an estimated US$238 million on four floors across the street.
The Central Park Tower penthouse has three levels – from 129e au 131e floor – with an interior space that spans approximately 17,500 square feet.
Additionally, there is a 133-square-meter (1,433-square-foot) outdoor terrace with stunning city views, the highest private terrace in the world as well as the tallest private ballroom on the planet.
