Seemingly from the time the conversion was announced, One Hundred Barclay has attracted attention for its rich history, status as the city's first Art Deco skyscraper, and luxurious amenities. The spacious, sumptuous residences have also piqued the interest of the New York real estate community and potential owners alike, but one stands out literally above the others: a newly launched penthouse for $59 million.
In this article:
The 14,500-square-foot penthouse with 22-foot ceilings is entered via private elevator landing on the 32nd floor, where it spans the building’s entire 32nd and 33rd floors. Arched industrial-sized windows overlook the Statue of Liberty, the Hudson River, and the New York skyline. The living room is longer than an NBA basketball court, as The Wall Street Journal put it, and offers the largest private art wall in New York at 62’ wide by 22’ tall. The sprawling chef’s kitchen features Calacatta Gold marble countertops and backsplash, top-of-the-line appliances, a butler’s pantry, dining area, after-dinner lounge, and pass-through wine room with capacity for over 600 bottles.
However, the penthouse will be delivered mostly raw to accommodate any number of configurations, including a seven-bedroom home. This is not the only customization option available; it comes with a full electrical infrastructure to support custom lighting, internal elevator, and home automation, among others.

Penthouse residents will have access to the marriage of history and modernity that makes One Hundred Barclay so highly desirable. Communication-themed murals from the building’s time as the Verizon headquarters are still in the lobby, which underwent a tasteful renovation by Jeffrey Beers International. Developers Magnum Group and CIM Group added an abundance of amenities including, but by no means limited to, a lap pool, landscaped terraces with 360-degree city views, wine-tasting rooms, billiards room, fitness center, and children’s playroom. And appropriately enough for the former home of Verizon, one-gig-per-second internet is available throughout the building.
