Crowning Glory: Sales launch at Aman New York Residences; See plans of 5-level penthouse reportedly in-contract for $180M

By CityRealty Staff | From Future New York Wednesday, January 22, 2020

The stretch of 57th Street dubbed Billionaires’ Row has seen some dizzying new supertalls spring up in the past several years. A few blocks east, though, Aman New York Residences indicate that a combination of a rich building history and equally rich interiors and amenities can also set a new project apart. Vladislav Doronin and his development company OKO Group have spent the past few years transforming The Crown Building, an unofficial Fifth Avenue landmark approaching its centenary, into Aman’s first New York resort. The hospitality component will open later this year, and the 22 condos on top have just launched sales.

Residents will bypass the Bulgari flagship at grade level to make a discreet entrance on 56th Street. Once upstairs, interiors by Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston were designed to make the most of their space and views in the tradition of all Aman residences. All residential units start on the 11th floor and feature open layouts, top-of-the-line finishes, grand entry foyers, and kitchens by Minotti Cucine with center islands, stone floors, polished quartzite countertops, and Gaggenau appliances. Master suites boast walk-in wardrobes and super-luxe baths with free-standing soaking tubs, steam showers, and radiant heated floors.

All owners have access to the hotel's staff and facilities that include the Aman Spa and its state-of-the-art gym, Spa Houses, saunas and steam rooms, 20-meter indoor pool with fire pits and day beds, and outdoor terrace with cabana, day beds, and fireplace. Residents can also enjoy such culinary and entertainment offerings as the subterranean Jazz Bar and Jazz Club, Garden Terrace, Italian restaurant Arva, Japanese restaurant Nama, and the Wine Library. Moreover, the benefits of ownership go beyond the front door - owners can take advantage of savings at Aman destinations all over the world.

An accepted offering plan lists a whopping $893 million sellout. To that end, a two-bedroom home is listed for $13.5 million, and a three-bedroom home with a private outdoor terrace boasting a Jacuzzi, 42’ heated pool, home theater, and Central Park views is listed for $34.5 million. On the full 21st floor, the Vana penthouse has four bedrooms, five and a half baths, and a home theater for $59.5 million. An average price of $8,357 per square foot puts Aman New York Residences at more than three times the Midtown West average of $2,609 per square foot (figures per CityRealty data).

Jaw-dropping as these prices are, they pale in comparison to the penthouse in the building’s apex, which The Wall Street Journal reports an Asian buyer agreed to pay $180 million for. Before Ken Griffin’s purchase at 220 Central Park South shattered records in New York and the whole United States, this had the potential to be the city’s most expensive sale ever.
