A palatial penthouse triplex has been placed on the market for a staggering $130 million — making it Manhattan’s most expensive listing in history, according to a report.
The 12,394-square-foot apartment will span the top three floors of a property now under construction at 520 Park Ave. by the Zeckendorf Development Co., according to Bloomberg News, which first reported the story.
The triplex would be the most expensive listing for an apartment in New York history, said Jonathan Miller, president of appraiser Miller Samuel Inc., told Bloomberg.
“In the best-case scenario, it is providing a bold stroke to the market, implying that there are buyers out there for this price point,” Miller reportedly said.
The building, between East 60th and 61st streets, will include seven duplexes of about 9,138 square feet each, starting at $67 million, according to the plans.
Single-floor units of about 4,600 square feet will start at $16.2 million.
Sales will begin in the first quarter of next year, company co-chairman Arthur Zeckendorf told Bloomberg.
The tower’s offering plan, which details units for sale and their prices, was approved by the state Attorney General’s Office last week, allowing the developer to begin marketing the 31 apartments, Zeckendorf said.
In 2010, the most expensive condo in the city was sold to a mystery buyer for $40 million.
That apartment, on the 41st floor of 15 Central Park West, was unloaded at $10,259 a square foot.
The 3,899-square-foot Central Park West apartment has three bedrooms, 3¹/₂ baths, a living room, a dining room and a family room.
Also at that address, more than 100 apartments were sold for a total of $1 billion in 2006.
