dollar apartment we're on the 52nd floor of a building called fifty-six Leonard

which is designed by a Swiss architecture firm called Herzog & de Meuron

Now because we're on the 52nd floor, we can see the entire curvature of

the island of Manhattan as it curves down to the tip. We're in Tribeca on the

corner of Soho which is in one of the most southernmost areas of the city

aside from the views you have the living room, you have the dining room, and you have the kitchen

which was also designed by Herzog and de Meuron

So this countertop is something that they colloquially call the baby grand countertop because

its shape piano, while the kitchen itself seems like it's minimalist to the extent

that no one could ever actually use it. The majority of the useful appliances

are hidden behind paneling.

It's obviously open-concept

but at the same time this is a pretty informal comfortable space

There's even a wood-burning fireplace which is a total rarity in new construction

This is a fantastic view to wake up to in the morning

you have these 14-foot high ceilings and these floor to ceiling windows looking down onto the

southern tip of Manhattan and you could see all these boats constantly I mean

you're looking at the daytime obviously it's going to be spectacular at night

what the master bedroom also has, is its own private balcony

it's one thing to see this view behind a plate-glass window and it's something else to

actually be in the open air looking out. You can literally hear the cars down below

You can see people moving but of course this view is pretty much unbeatable

In this master bathroom you have a really nice feature where the

medicine cabinets are hidden behind these panels that pivot outwards

so that you can save space. Not that you really are concerned with space if you

have this apartment given that the bathroom alone is more or less the size

of a studio apartment

there are another three bedrooms aside from the master

all of them have the same 14-foot high floor-to-ceiling windows

so this is what a 17.75 million dollar apartment looks like

Now the price per square foot is around a thousand dollars more than the average

luxury price per square foot in Manhattan but of course the average luxury

apartment isn't on the fifty second floor, isn't new construction and

doesn't really have these views.

So is it worth it?

I guess that's up to whoever has 17.75 million dollars to spend
