440 E 57th St | $4,500,000

A striking penthouse at 440 E 57th St in the Sutton Place area of New York City is now for sale for $4.5 million with Compass, the real estate technology company that joined the Fortune 500 list this year after revolutionizing the industry with innovative digital tools and unique services.

The spacious abode has many distinguishing features, but perhaps none is more stately than a rare 432-bottle wine wall designed by "Joseph & Curtis Custom Wine Cellars."

The home spreads across 3,500 square feet of welcoming indoor space with an awe-inspiring 200-square-foot terrace. This top-floor penthouse offers iconic views from all four cardinal points.

According to the listing page, it is currently configured as a four-bedroom abode with an elegant library that can easily be transformed into a fifth bedroom.

This airy penthouse is the perfect destination for entertaining.

All to say that this home is a wine lover's dream come true.

The eastern exposed living room is adorned with a gas fireplace in the center and a brilliantly positioned roll-top painting cloaking the television out of sight. Next, the good times roll over to the kitchen. Marvelous and recently renovated, it is dressed with Calcatta Marable and packed with best-in-class appliances. A grand dining room can easily accommodate a dozen guests when dinner is served.

The tasting continues in liquid form. Undoubtedly, the standout feature is the 432 bottom designer wine wall, which embodies the quality and standards of the most prestigious restaurants.

Pamela Marcus of Compass, who is marketing the listing, noted the fabulousness of the home's unique qualities. "It is a penthouse in mint condition with a fabulous refrigerated wine wall holding about 500 bottles/magnums. I have had a wine closet in a listing but never a wine wall."

ODA Brings Signature Fractal Design to Billionaire’s Row

Yesterday, Construction has just started at 126 East 57th street, a project designed by architect ODA, with interiors designed by Gabellini Sheppard and developed by owner MRR 1326 LLC, a company owned by Anand Mahindra and Real Estate Developers Rotem Rosen and Zahi Hagag.

The site spans the width of a city block from 56th to 57th street, with a plan to erect a 175,000 SF tower. Almost all units would have private outdoor terraces, pixelating the cast-in-place concrete façade with projections and recesses. The residential entrance is planned to be on 57th street, bringing residents through a copper mirrored gateway into a 6-story tall atrium with views to a lushly landscaped courtyard. A gallery will lead residents to the lobby and access to the 28-story residential tower. An alternate entrance to the lobby would be through a porte cochere at 56th street for car drop off.

"This building brings a human scale, playfulness and visual interest to this upscale corridor of 57th Street,” Said Eran Chen, Founder and Executive Director of ODA. “As New York City slowly transforms Midtown East to a residential destination, we strive to offer a contemporary outlook for the taste makers and young professional buyers who value high design."

The unique footprint and layouts allowed ODA to prioritize multiple amenity experiences, a sprinkling of interconnected and intimate moments throughout the building, that will give residents a variety of spaces to relax and explore just a stone's throw from their front door. This ecosystem is designed to foster community in the building, enriching the resident experience.

The extravagant amenity package is planned to begin on the two sublevels, which will include an exercise room, sports court, indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam rooms. The 2nd floor is planned to have an intimate private lounge and kitchen offering residents an alternative study or work space, connected to a cozy furnished courtyard complete with an outdoor kid’s playground, a communal greenhouse and an outdoor cinema amphitheater overlooking the main entrance.

The 11th floor will offer a 3,350 square foot party room with prep kitchen meant for socializing and entertaining with access to a large, covered terrace with bar and private cabanas. The penthouse units on the 28th floor will have access to their own roof terraces through private interior stairs. The roof’s communal amenity terrace will give the building’s residents space to sunbathe and grill.

Now's Your Chance To Live at The Pierre Hotel

Living at The Pierre — one of the city’s most prestigious and historic buildings — is a dream for many people. The building offers world-class luxury and amenities, in addition to direct access to Lenox Hill, Midtown Manhattan, and Central Park right outside the front door. And now, that’s all within reach for the right buyer, and at a surprising price.

The apartment, located at 795 Fifth Avenue Apartment 812 in The Pierre, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. An abundance of windows ensures that owners will get plenty of light and views and the large living room also has magnificent views of Central Park.

The master bedroom features an attached office and numerous closets, and the second bedroom is large enough to fit two beds. There’s even a laundry room as well. 

The Pierre was designed by esteemed architectural firm Schultze & Weaver and originally opened in the 1930s. It’s now a designated New York City landmark and is a fixture of the Midtown skyline. Owners can soak all of that in, while also taking advantage of the hotel’s full staff (1000+), 24-hour doorman and concierge, valet services, fitness center, and daily housekeeping.

The Pierre is a functioning luxury hotel, but several dozen units were sold to private residents in the 1970s, and former tenants include actress Elizabeth Taylor and designer Yves Saint-Laurent. Needless to say, it’s not often that a unit becomes available at such a reasonable asking price.

This apartment is listed for $2,995,000 by Harriet Kaufman of Warburg Realty.
