Four units on the 9th floor, ranging in price from $745,000 for a 1BR to $3,310,000 for a 3BR. The rooms were spacious and everything was brand new and shiny. The real selling point has to be the view of Central Park, though, which would be perfect for showing off to guests or gazing out at, eyes unfocused.

And then there is the fact that the prices are well below what they would be farther south, hovering around $1,500 per square foot, with a nearly 2,400-square-foot three-bedroom apartment on a middle floor priced at $3.41 million, and an 1,800-square-foot three-bedroom at $2.66 million.

The apartments themselves, mostly sprawling three-bedrooms with solid oak floors priced at $1,500 a square foot, are remarkably light-filled for a pre-war building, largely due to the developer’s decision to punch out dozens of new windows along the building’s facade.
