The Woolworth Tower

If you want to live somewhere with historical value, one of the 40 luxury condos at the top of the Woolworth Building may be right up your alley. This development is getting a lot of attention because of the building’s rich history, but it’s also going to have the priciest penthouse in downtown history, with a list price of $110 million.

53 West 53rd

If this address sounds familiar, development was delayed for several years after the economy took a turn for the worse. However, in October of last year, it was announced that the development had secured a total of $1 billion in financing.

With a swooping spaceship design, 520 West 28th Street is projected to have 40 units. Although details are still scarce, some pricing information has been released online.
