I remember when it was going up a few years ago and it struck me then as nothing more than a tall skinny Lego brick that added nothing to the NYC skyline. Since then, other towers on 57th Street have surpassed this one and are at least a little more aesthetically pleasing. But I always wonder how much time those who own these high-priced apartments actually spend there.
We might laugh at these people and call them suckers but there are a number of people in the world who are so fabulously wealthy that paying $30m and up for a place in Manhattan that they might only spend a few weeks a year is akin to one of us common folk splurging for dinner at a nice steakhouse.
Wouldn't want to spend the night that high up.
