The coronavirus pandemic had already disrupted the plans of the developers of the Steinway Tower, located on the so-called Billionaire’s Row in Manhattan in New York. What will be the narrowest residential skyscraper on the planet, and the second tallest, was scheduled to open in mid-2020, and is now expected in the first quarter of 2021. This delay is compounded by some problems with contracted companies for its construction, but despite everything it has managed to sell three new luxury apartments in recent months, one of them for over 50 million dollars, about 41 million euros at the current exchange rate.

With its 438 meters and 91 floors, the Steinway Tower is located at 111 West 57th Street in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, surrounded by luxury and a lot of money. It is 24 times taller than it is wide and it will only have one home per floor. In fact, some of the most luxurious will have several floors within the same home. Its ceilings are more than four meters high, with an area of ??almost 420 square meters each.

The tower has a terracotta, glass and bronze facade, designed by SHoP Architects, with interior architecture by Studio Sofield. In total, there will only be 60 residents in this huge skyscraper with 360º views of the entire island of Manhattan.

The billionaires who live here will have a private entrance to the building and each apartment. In addition, they will have high ‘standing’ common areas with a 25-meter long pool, sauna, gym, private dining room with terrace, as well as 24-hour security and services.

In recent months, and despite the fact that the Covid-19 crisis is taking hold of New York City, which has already announced new restrictions on mobility, it has managed to sell at least three new apartments. Two of them, for about 30 million dollars, about 24.6 million euros at the current exchange rate, and another for more than 50 million dollars, about 41 million euros, becoming the largest transaction in the luxury housing market of New York in times of pandemic.

But it is not all joys for investors at the Steinway Tower. In recent months they are having flooding problems in some of the finished homes, which has ended up in court against one of the contractors and could end up in millionaire compensation.
