With reports of billionaires jockeying to pay record-setting prices for its trophy penthouse apartments, One57 from Extell Development is the very model of Billionaires' Row living. The 90-story building houses both a hotel and private residences.

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc, the tower rises more than 1,000 feet above 57^th Street just south of Central Park.

279 Central Park West is a 23-story boutique condominium built in 1988 and designed by acclaimed architect Costas Kondylis. The building stands out as one of the few buildings in New York City to feature curved glass corner windows, which take full advantage of its spectacular Central Park views. Rising from a three-story rusticated limestone base, the building's asymmetrical silhouette was shaped by the city's contextual zoning requirements of the 1980s, creating distinctive setbacks above the traditional 15-story building wall height along Central Park West.

With only 38 apartments, the building offers an exceptionally exclusive living experience, with many units configured as duplexes and several penthouses. The apartments commonly feature bay windows, windowed kitchens with high-end appliances (Sub-Zero, Miele, Wolf), marble bathrooms, custom millwork, and central air conditioning.

The tower stands on a 12,500-square-foot site formerly occupied by New York Law School's Mendik Law Library building.

Developed by the Zeckendorf General Partnership and designed by Frank Williams & Associates, this limestone and beige-brick tower replaced a pre-war Italian Renaissance palazzo, though its post-modern interpretation drew sharp criticism from architectural critics. Robert A.M. Stern described its silhouette as "awkward," while Paul Goldberger called it "particularly ungainly" with a "pretentious muddle" façade, despite its commercial success during the late 1990s luxury boom.

The building has attracted notable residents including theater impresario James L. Nederlander, luxury magnate François Pinault (owner of Christie's), music executive L.A. Reid, and Vivendi Universal chairman Jean-Marie Messier.
