Inside Zaha’s $50m New York penthouse

Prime residential real estate “remains buoyant” in New York City as the Zaha Hadid-designed penthouse at 520 W 28th Street in New York City lists for $50m.

Speaking on a tour of the iconic Hadid residences, Dan August Cordeiro who is leading sales on the property said that enquires and sales above $10m were increasing in the Big Apple. “There has bene a fair amount of construction at the high end of the market and I can say that sales volume and the number of contracts signed in the $10m plus, $20m plus and $50m plus markets.

“This has not traditionally been a prime residential neighbourhood,” said the senior managing director or Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group. “But with the transformation of the waterfront into parkland here thanks to the High Line and Hudson Yards has really made this the forefront of where people want to be in New York. And with the movement of the tech companies coming here has made this a leading residential area.”
