Originally built in 1912, the Neo-Gothic skyscraper at 212 Fifth Avenue has been reimagined by Madison Equities, Thor Equities, and Helpern Architects as a boutique collection of luxury condos capped off with an elegant, multi-storey penthouse. Known today simply as 212 Fifth Avenue, the 24-storey high-rise in New York's NoMad district is home to just 48 units, each of which has been carefully crafted to suit the needs of Manhattan's luxury condo market.
Located at the corner of 5th Ave and W 26th St, adjacent to Madison Square Park, and just a few blocks north of the iconic Flatiron Building, 212 Fifth Avenue is ideally located within the heart of NoMad, close to numerous shops, restaurants, bars, other attractions. Close as well to multiple subway lines and stations, and walkable to both Midtown and Downtown, 212 Fifth Avenue will be a prime address for buyers looking to be in the heart of the city.
Soon to become the home of Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos, the aforementioned penthouse - along with the two units directly below it - have already been purchased for the eye-popping sum of $80 million (USD). Consisting of three floors on its own, the penthouse suite, if combined with the two units below, would fill out to five floors spread across 17,000 sq. ft., thereby making for one very large single-family home.
Having come a long way since its historic early days as a manufacturing building, 212 Fifth Avenue has evolved to become a premiere luxury address.
