Apartment rentals New York with Billionaire's Row

It’s a well known fact that international investors play a huge role in Manhattan’s real estate scene, especially in the ultra-luxury sector — but as it turns out, international tenants make up a significant part of the luxury rental market too. In general, the Manhattan housing market is dominated by rentals, with condos and co-ops taking a backseat, and with a brilliant run of new constructions, the luxury sector in particular has grown consistently.

New York City is known for its endless sea of skyscrapers. They sprout into the sky, and blocking interminable amount of sun, resulting in dreadful showdown-casting monsters. What if that was no longer a concern? The architects of London-based firm NBBJ are set on developing a new structure that will work to eliminate shade year-round, completely redefining the skyscraper.

The set of seven sky-high luxury apartment buildings to take root in midtown Manhattan over the next decade is sure to alter the cityscape. Known as Billionaire’s row, “it’s one thing to rend about $130 million apartments--it’s another thing to see just what an impact these obelisks will have on the Manhattan skyline.”
