It is anticipated that the 52-story skyscraper 520 Park Avenue in New York City will have Indiana limestone cladding throughout all of its facades. The high-rise building designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) is expected to come to realization in 2017 and will feature 33 full-floor residences, including the most expensive penthouse in New York at $135 million.

The architects' renderings of the development show dining rooms, living rooms, and leisure areas with some of the most outstanding finishes for the ambitious project.

The duplex and triplex penthouses will be accessible by a sculptured stairway that leads to the tower's elliptical gallery.

There will be two en-suite master bathrooms and spacious dressing rooms in each house's spacious master suite.

The master bathrooms, which are intended to have expansive bay windows, are centered around breathtaking views of the city.

The 427 square meter single-story apartments from Zeckendorf Development are valued at roughly $16.2 million, while the 848 square meter duplexes are anticipated to cost up to four times as much, at $67 million.

This skyscraper, which is situated between East 60th and 61st streets, will offer breathtaking views of the Upper East Side, Central Park, and the vast skyline of New York City.

The top floors of the $135 million triplex penthouse will total 1,151 square meters, including a fully occupied 116-square-meter terrace that offers expansive views of Central Park to the north.

A salon, a private garden with ornamental fountains, a children's play area, wine cellars, guest rooms, storage areas, and a health center with treatment rooms, training rooms, saunas, and steam rooms are just a few of the facilities that are part of the 237-meter-tall design.
