For someone looking to create a truly iconic New York residence, there is simply nothing else available today that offers this level of visibility, architectural potential, and the opportunity to own a piece of history at the 50-yard line of Central Park. Through our partnership with Concierge Auctions, we are able to introduce the property to a global pool of qualified buyers in a focused, time-defined process that is particularly well suited to an asset of this significance."
“This apartment is a singular opportunity to fully inhabit the iconic mansard roof of the Hampshire House on the edge of Central Park,” said Pelsinski. “It is an amazing gem that has been hidden in plain sight for almost a century.”
Positioned 37 floors above Central Park South, the rare three-story penthouse residence presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a true legacy at one of the most recognizable addresses and most iconic roofs in New York City. Designed with award-winning plans by SPAN Architecture––an international firm that has built a reputation for seamlessly blending architecture, interior and landscape design––the residence encompasses approximately 9,000 square feet for the total work scope, including 1,200 square feet of exterior living space across three dramatic levels, including expansive terraces overlooking Central Park.
