995 Fifth Avenue
September 27th, 2007
995 Fifth Avenue is unique among today’s most luxurious condominium developments. Located just across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a short walk from Central Park, residents who live here will feel as if they live on a southern plantation or in a New England Manor. These 26 residences more than double the living space of most condos. They range in size from 4100 to 8400 square feet. Termed half-floor or full floor apartments, each unit has between three and six bedrooms, in addition to a number of other rooms that can double as sleeping quarters, such as a guest room and a staff room. Some units feature a media room, library, gallery, his and her baths, a dressing room, wine closet, wet bar or utility room. All include a washer, dryer, and plenty of walk-in closets.
Not exactly towering at 16 stories, 995 Fifth Avenue is a restored limestone and brick building that at one time was a hotel. Residents here can still feel as if they are receiving room service, as each apartment is equipped with a touch panel video intercom to order food deliveries, valet service, or to control the airflow in the apartment. Some even come with controls to set lighting, a hidden plasma screen television and sound/video components.
Residents of this Fifth Avenue development live in large, bright, airy units with plenty of windows and light colors to soothe the senses. Living rooms are large with dark hardwood floors, and the oversized kitchen boasts English decor. No two homes are the same, and each is customizable, so if residents prefer stone flooring, that is what they get. And for those who are fortunate enough to have a “staff,” some units come with staff quarters.
From the comfort of their home, residents of 995 Fifth Avenue can order take out, request that their dry cleaning be picked up or have their car brought around. But there are times when it’s just too nice to stay home. For days like that, there is La Palestra. This private on-site spa comes with a staff of its own, including nutrition experts, chiropractors, and massage therapists, all working together to ensure that residents are provided with the best exercise program available. And when they’re done working out, they snack in the spa’s lounge and request a complementary massage. Scheduled for occupancy in 2008, 995 Fifth Avenue is intended for those who demand highest quality and are prepared to pay for it. The lowest price for a 4/5 bedroom is $10.5 million. An eight-bedroom unit goes for $35 million.
