Billionaires’ Row is where architectural ambition meets unparalleled luxury, offering residences a new meaning to super-prime living in the heart of this world-class city.
The Most Prestigious Addresses in Manhattan
Stretching along the southern edge of Central Park, this exclusive enclave of ultra-luxury residential towers has transformed Manhattan’s skyline into a showcase of the world’s finest living.
Here, the tallest, most slender, and most architecturally significant residences rise above the city, offering views that were once reserved only for imagination.
The name itself tells the story: These towers attract the world’s most discerning buyers; those who seek not just a home, but a legacy address. From hedge fund titans to global entrepreneurs, residents of Billionaires’ Row share a singular distinction: they have chosen the very best that NYC has to offer.
Central Park unfolds beneath your windows like a private garden. The city’s glittering skyline becomes your evening backdrop. And every detail of your residence reflects the craftsmanship and vision of the world’s most celebrated architects and designers.
Iconic Towers of Billionaires’ Row
Each building along this prestigious corridor possesses its own character, its own allure. Together, they represent the pinnacle of residential architecture.
One57
The tower that started it all. One57 ignited Billionaires’ Row when it became the first supertall residential building in the corridor. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc, its distinctive cascading facade has become an icon of Manhattan’s modern skyline.
Positioned perfectly between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, One57 offers symmetrical Central Park views that are nothing short of spectacular. The Park Hyatt Hotel in the building’s base provides residents with access to five-star services, from in-residence dining to housekeeping and concierge.
Central Park Tower
Rising 1,550 feet into the Manhattan sky, Central Park Tower holds the distinction of being the tallest residential building in the world. Its soaring height offers residents something truly rare: helicopter-worthy views of Central Park from the comfort of home.
Designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, the same firm behind Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the tower delivers an experience befitting its stature. The Central Park Club spans 50,000 square feet of private amenity space, featuring a grand ballroom, outdoor terrace pool, private restaurant, and panoramic lounges that put the city at your feet.
Interiors by Rottet Studio blend contemporary sophistication with timeless elegance, creating residences that feel both grand and intimately welcoming.
220 Central Park South
For those who appreciate the enduring elegance of classic New York architecture, 220 Central Park South stands apart. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern, the master behind beloved addresses like 15 Central Park West, this limestone-clad tower evokes the grandeur of Manhattan’s prewar golden age while delivering every modern luxury.
The building’s tower and ‘Villa’ combination offers residents a choice: the commanding heights of the tower or the townhouse intimacy of the Villa along 58th Street. Both share permanently unobstructed Central Park views and access to a private porte-cochère, ensuring arrivals are as refined as the residences themselves.
This is where record-breaking sales have made headlines, but more importantly, it is where discerning buyers find a home that feels both prestigious and deeply personal.
111 West 57th Street
The world’s skinniest skyscraper is also one of its most beautiful. Rising from the lovingly restored Steinway Hall, 111 West 57th Street, known as Steinway Tower, is a masterwork of SHoP Architects that pays homage to Manhattan’s architectural heritage while pushing boldly into the future.
The tower’s terracotta and bronze facade echoes the elegance of the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building. Inside, Studio Sofield’s interiors feature veined white onyx bathrooms, custom P.E. Guerin bronze hardware, and 14-foot ceilings that amplify the breathtaking Central Park views.
With full-floor and duplex residences offering unmatched privacy, Steinway Tower delivers a high-end living experience that is truly in a realm of its own.
432 Park Avenue
Rafael Viñoly’s iconic design transformed a simple geometric concept into one of Manhattan’s most recognizable silhouettes. At 1,398 feet, 432 Park Avenue commands attention with its grid of six 10-foot by 10-foot windows and 15-foot ceiling heights that flood residences with natural light.
The building occupies what many consider the most valuable block in Manhattan, positioned between Park and Madison Avenues. Residents enjoy a private dining room, motor court, and amenities that rival the world’s finest hotels, all without sharing a single space with hotel guests.

Life Along Billionaires’ Row
Beyond the luxury buildings themselves lies an unparalleled lifestyle.
Your neighborhood is the cultural and commercial heart of Manhattan. Step outside and you are moments from the designer boutiques of Fifth Avenue, from Bergdorf Goodman to Tiffany & Co. World-class dining awaits at institutions like Le Bernardin, The Palm Court, and Jean-Georges. Carnegie Hall and the Museum of Modern Art offer cultural enrichment steps from your door.
Yet the true luxury of Billionaires’ Row is Central Park itself. From your penthouse or condo, the park unfolds in every season: spring blossoms, summer greenery, autumn gold, and winter wonderland. Upper-floor homes watch the seasons change from a vantage point few will ever experience.
The neighborhood attracts those who appreciate both vibrance and privacy. Building entrances are discreet, security is impeccable, and the community comprises billionaires (of course), celebrities, and individuals who value excellence in all its forms.
