In the Clouds: The Most Luxurious Penthouses in New York City

New York City real estate is much coveted and highly prized.  If the sky is the limit, why not live in the clouds?  New York offers some of the most expensive penthouses in the world with breathtaking views of this spectacular city. Here are three of the most luxurious penthouses in New York City.

The most exclusive and highest priced unit in the building belongs to Hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen.  He bought a duplex penthouse in 2005 for a lofty $24 million.  Cohen hired an architect to make multiple luxury upgrades and transform the space.  With 9,000 square feet of living space, 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a private guest wing, this penthouse offers incredible views as well as luxurious accommodations.  The updates to the penthouse include white venetian plaster walls as well as a double-height living room with 24-foot floor-to-ceiling glass windows. In 2015 the home entered the market again for $115 million. The price has been dropped over the years, and late last year it was relisted at $57.5 million.
