  • By height and width,

  • this is the slimmest building in the world.

  • What does it take from an engineering perspective

  • to actually construct something like this?

  • It's a combination of very advanced wind tunnel testing

  • that wasn't available a few years ago.

  • Okay. Much stronger concrete

  • than was available a few years ago.

  • And a number of other engineering factors.

  • It really turned out to be this amazing juxtaposition

  • of old and new.

  • As we stand here and you look up

  • you have this amazing restored copper lantern

  • that we refabricated off original drawings

  • and then this amazing contemporary tower behind it.

  • So it's that old and new play

  • that we were very excited about as developers.

  • You don't get a chance to do this very often.

  • I'm on the 43rd floor in a $28.75 million apartment.

  • This is 50 feet of glass on Central Park.

  • The apartment is obviously quite nice

  • but the real star of the show is the view.

  • In the kitchen, when you're taking a break from cooking

  • or watching someone cook for you

  • you can look out to Columbus Circle, to New Jersey

  • all the way down Central Park to Harlem.

  • Each apartment takes up an entire floor

  • so when you step off the elevator, you're home.

  • The front of the apartment is entertaining spaces,

  • the back is bedrooms.

  • This apartment has three bedrooms,

  • so as you walk down a hallway

  • that's filled with more closet space

  • than most New Yorkers have as living space

  • you go into one of the three bedrooms

  • where there is a marble covered bathroom.

  • And then the bedroom itself.

  • You have views of the Empire State Building.

  • You can actually see the terra cotta

  • on the side of the facade.

  • And of course you have views

  • through all of southern Manhattan.

  • I'm here in the master bathroom.

  • Next to me is a bathtub that was custom designed

  • for this space.

  • The walls and floors and sinks,

  • even the insides of the sinks, are onyx.

  • The walls are more polished,

  • the floors are more matte, if that matters.

  • And then over here is the shower.

  • And there is a window looking straight out across Manhattan.

  • So even in the bathroom you've got a view in this apartment.

  • I'm on the 82nd floor, above all the residential spaces

  • standing in front of 800 tons of steel

  • that comprise the tuned mass damper

  • that basically counteracts the sway of the building.

  • Now, even if this wasn't here, the building would be fine.

  • It's exclusively for comfort.

  • And what it does is when the building sways in one direction

  • it moves in the opposite direction

  • to keep the building as straight and steady as possible.

  • Now, it's not just the steel, it's also filled with sand.

  • So this is a colossal contraption that takes up,

  • as you can see, the entire floor of the building.

  • So we're on the exterior hoist,

  • I wouldn't want to say plummeting

  • but it certainly feels like we're plummeting.

  • We're descending on the exterior of the building.

  • It's definitely not for the faint of heart

  • or for anyone who has ever confronted their own mortality

  • because there's a lot of jitters

  • and it's something that the people who are building this

  • are quite inured to.

  • But for a casual visitor it is, I would say,

  • absolutely terrifying.

  • We're standing in the 94 year old

  • historic Steinway Hall Atrium

  • which, as you can see, is a pretty crazy place.

  • It's designed to give a sense of place and grandeur

  • and ceremony to its original purpose

  • namely selling pianos.

  • And as a result, you see intricately carved marble columns.

  • You see this plaster coffered ceiling.

  • You see this very large mural

  • that's in the process of being restored.

  • And you see it culminating

  • into this colossal crystal chandelier.

  • Which is hanging above the only thing

  • that doesn't quite make sense

  • namely the model of the 91 story 111 West 57th Street Tower

  • which is adjacent to the Steinway building.
