Peek Inside One57, the Newest Building to be the Most Expensive in the City

According to a new report from real estate agency City Realty, the 73-story supertall midtown tower One57 is the most expensive building in the City.

The building's average price per square foot for the year was $6,010, while last year's most expensive, 15 Central Park West, came in at only $5,726. One57's average price increased 18.5% from last year, while 15 CPW's average decreased 10%.

Take a peek at Business Insider's roundup of photos and renderings of the building's interior and exterior while you dream about what it might be like to live there.

One57 has set a new record in NYC real estate.

One57 was designed by starchitect Christian de Portzamparc to look like a cascading waterfall. It rises 1,004 feet and 90 stories above 57th Street.

Of the units sold so far, only some of the buyers are known. They include billionaires Lawrence S. Stroll and Silas K. F. Chou, as well as the head of BDO Unicon Group, Andrey Dubinsky.

The Park Hyatt hotel will occupy the first 39 floors of the building, and the 95 condos of One57 will fill the rest of the space.

One57 residents will have their own separate entrance with a lobby and elevator bank, so they don't have to mingle with the guests at Park Hyatt on the lower floors.

They'll also have access to in-room spa services, a concierge, in-room dining and catering, cleaning services, and even dog-walking services.

The biggest purchase by far in One57 has been the closing on the duplex penthouse on the 89th and 90th floors. The penthouse sold for over $100 million in January.

The stunning duplex has six bedrooms and occupies 11,000 square feet of space.

There are seven bathrooms and two powder rooms, as well as a steam room and marble baths.

Every room has 23-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, providing unparalleled views of New York.

And perhaps most impressive is the view of Central Park — waking up to this everyday is worth $100 million.

But the penthouse is not the only spectacular unit in the building. All of them have floor-to-ceiling windows and unimpeded views.

The bigger kitchens have two of everything, including double dishwashers and double stoves. There's also a built-in Miele coffee maker.

The ceilings in the other apartments are also quite tall, with the lowest ceiling measuring 10 feet 7 inches.

The units range from one bedroom to the six-bedroom penthouses.

Another model unit on the 58th floor shows what a three-bedroom home could look like.

In total, it would have six rooms and over 4,000 square feet of living space.

The so-called grand salon runs the length of the apartment and has nearly 12-foot-tall ceilings.

It can also fit a huge dining-room table for 10 guests and has plenty of space for art.

It might be easy to see why this is the newest most expensive building in New York.
