Billionaires’ Row in New York City set off a super-slender skyscraper revolution. Today, the towers are an astounding display of wealth, prestige and engineering firsts. But they’re also kind of empty.
Meanwhile, finding an affordable apartment in the city as a non-billionaire can be nearly impossible.
So, we wanted to know – what made something like Billionaires’ Row possible and what impact is it having on the world of wealth, architecture and construction?
Pushing the bounds of engineering
Just south of Central Park sit some of the most exclusive homes anywhere in the world. There are no official gates to Billionaires’ Row, but the name refers to a handful of buildings on and around West 57th Street.
Nestled alongside iconic New York landmarks like Carnegie Hall, The Russian Tea Room and The Plaza Hotel, you’ll also find 432 Park Avenue, 53W53, 111W57, One57 and Central Park Tower.
