Both assemblages were rumored to be residential supertalls, and now the western site is confirmed.

This may be the start of the next Billionaire's Row boom cycle. Besides these two, there's the Park Lane site, the Durst site near 6th, the former Holiday Inn site west of Columbus Circle, the Turkish-owned site on the East Side near Lex, the Hadassah assemblage on 58th, and the Solow site directly across 57th.

Could be. They’re gonna keep going to that well until it’s dry.

A mystery buyer has snapped up two full-floor condos on the 60th and 61st floors of a residential skyscraper overlooking Central Park that cost a total of more than $157million - one of the biggest real estate transactions ever.

The purchase of the two units at 220 Central Park South on Manhattan’s Billionaire’s Row was made through a limited liability company which allows the buyer to remain anonymous.

The Wall Street Journal, citing property records, indicated that the deal included $82.5million for the 5,935-square-foot unit on the 60th floor.

The buyer also paid $75million for the full-floor unit on the 61st floor as well as a studio apartment on the 18th floor.

The sellers originally bought the two condos last year - the lower level went for $50.9million and the upper level fetched $51.4million.

In 2019, hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin made the most expensive real estate purchase ever in the United States, buying the penthouse at 220 Central Park South for $238million.

Developed by Vornado Realty Trust, the building boasts 70 floors and a total of 116 residential units.

This tower will have a comparable 119 units, in addition to the hotel.
