Priciest NYC apartment's asking price: US$130m

[NEW YORK] A triplex penthouse at Zeckendorf Development Co's tower under construction on Manhattan's Upper East Side will be offered for sale at US$130 million, making it New York's most expensive apartment listing.

The 12,394-square-foot (1,151- square-metre) property will span the top three floors at 520 Park Avenue, where sales will begin in the first quarter of next year, Arthur Zeckendorf said on Tuesday.

The tower's offering plan, which details units for sale and their prices, was approved by the New York State attorney general's office last week, allowing the developer to begin marketing the 31 apartments, Mr Zeckendorf said. The building, between 60th and 61st streets, will include seven duplexes of about 9,138 sq ft each, starting at US$67 million, according to the plans. Single-floor units of about 4,600 sq ft will start at US$16.2 million.
