The
Stanhope Hotel opposite the Metropolitan Museum was designed
in the 1920s by preeminent architect Rosario Candela. Now
John Simpson, whose recent architectural credits include the
Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, is heading up
its conversion to the Stanhope Residences. These palatial
abodes include full-floor 8BRs with his-and-her dressing rooms/baths,
multiple fireplaces, media and staff rooms, and libraries.
The 4 and 5BR North and South Residences boast drawing rooms,
formal dining rooms, and kitchens set inside enormous family
rooms. One 5BR duplex includes nearly 5,000 sf of outdoor
space. Buy early to customize your layout. Finishes can be
selected from Simpson’s handpicked options, such as
bespoke kitchen cabinetry from Smallbone of Devizes, and handcrafted
bath fixtures from Lefroy Brooks. Lobby-level studios for
staff/guests/home offices are also available. Building amenities
include wine caves, sommelier, complimentary massages and
personal training at private La Palestra fitness center. This
is a co-op with condo rules. Spring 2007. $10 million to $47
million.

"Never
mind what the papers are saying about the market cooling off - it’s
not true of the high end. There are six beautiful co-op deals out
there for $20 million and more,” says Kirk Henckels, director
of Stribling Private Brokerage. “The majority are on Park Avenue,
as well as Fifth - where there have also been several recent townhouse
transactions in this category.” |
