this is the slimmest building in the world.

What does it take from an engineering perspective

to actually construct something like this?

It's a combination of very advanced wind tunnel testing

And a number of other engineering factors.

It really turned out to be this amazing juxtaposition

you have this amazing restored copper lantern

that we refabricated off original drawings

and then this amazing contemporary tower behind it.

that we were very excited about as developers.

You don't get a chance to do this very often.

I'm on the 43rd floor in a $28.75 million apartment.

This is 50 feet of glass on Central Park.

but the real star of the show is the view.

In the kitchen, when you're taking a break from cooking

you can look out to Columbus Circle, to New Jersey

so when you step off the elevator, you're home.

The front of the apartment is entertaining spaces,

than most New Yorkers have as living space

where there is a marble covered bathroom.

You have views of the Empire State Building.

Next to me is a bathtub that was custom designed

the floors are more matte, if that matters.

And there is a window looking straight out across Manhattan.

So even in the bathroom you've got a view in this apartment.

I'm on the 82nd floor, above all the residential spaces

that basically counteracts the sway of the building.

Now, even if this wasn't here, the building would be fine.

And what it does is when the building sways in one direction

to keep the building as straight and steady as possible.

Now, it's not just the steel, it's also filled with sand.

So this is a colossal contraption that takes up,

as you can see, the entire floor of the building.

but it certainly feels like we're plummeting.

We're descending on the exterior of the building.

It's definitely not for the faint of heart

or for anyone who has ever confronted their own mortality

and it's something that the people who are building this

But for a casual visitor it is, I would say,

which, as you can see, is a pretty crazy place.

It's designed to give a sense of place and grandeur

And as a result, you see intricately carved marble columns.

namely the model of the 91 story 111 West 57th Street Tower

which is adjacent to the Steinway building.
