Now with the warm weather upon us, Manhattanites are looking for anywhere that they can to find refuge from the heat. One such place is Columbus Circle and the shops at Time Warner Center in the background. The area is officially known as Lincoln Square and is very conveniently close to Midtown, shopping, many subway lines, Lincoln Center and of course Central Park.
The Time Warner Center which was completed in 2004 by the Related Company has two 80 story towers which houses condos, office and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Currently, there are 10 apartments for sale in the Time Warner Center ranging from $5 million for 2bd/2.5ba 1433 sqft(133m2) apartment to $24.75 million for a 3bd/3.5 ba 3491 sqft(324m2) 70th floor offering.

Brazilian Billionaire Edson Bueno who sold most of his stake in his insurance and hospital company to UnitedHealth Group for $4.9 billion 3 years ago, purchased his 80th floor crash pad in One57 for $53M. According to NYDN, he bought it under a corporation. The apartment is 6240 sqft with 4 bedroms and 4 bathrooms and is located in the building that holds the record for most expensive residence sale at $100.47M. The apartment will be used as a pied-a-terre when the family is in NYC.
This sale is the ninth most expensive of all time in NYC but will likely be pushed lower on the list with several new condos being built in around Billionaire’s Row including 220 CPS which has already over $1 billion in sales according to reports.
217 west 57 street aka the Nordstrom tower of developer Extell has released some renderings. The building should be completed by 2018 and will rise to 1479 feet at the roof level and have a pinnacle height of 1775. Developer Extell was also responsible One57 which is located at 157 west 57 street and has for now set the record for most expensive sale of a Manhattan apartment at $100.47mm earlier this year. Several other properties are going up around Billionaire’s Row including 432 Park avenue, and 220 CPS.

Stern bring this 54 story limestone building to life on Park avenue. Well, the building is on the side street but the address thanks to air rights bought from the church gained the address 520 Park avenue.
