LISTINGS Hamptons Premier Properties What is Luxury Listings NYC? Luxury Listings NYC is an oversized glossy magazine that covers high-end real estate and home design, apartment and townhouse listings in Manhattan, luxury goods and lifestyle, plus dedicated real estate news that lets readers know what’s going on specifically in their neighborhood, in a way that mainstream media and shelter magazines don’t. For all of Manhattan’s most desirable neighborhoods — the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Chelsea, Gramercy, Flatiron, Greenwich Village, Soho, Tribeca and the Financial District — the magazine provides a cheat sheet on the latest trends, priciest sales and rentals, celebrity moves and new buildings that keeps affluent readers up to date on what’s happening in their backyards. $23,000,000 101 Hill Street in Southampton Village House (30,000 sf): 76 beds, 76 baths | Amenities: Swimming Pool, South Of Highway Where is Luxury Listings NYC distributed?

The Plaza’s attorney argued that the blue-colored station full of Citibank ads created an eyesore.

Moreover, the judge ruled, the station does not interfere with the neighborhood’s nearby landmarks.

Floorto-ceiling windows flood the room with light and overlook exclusive Gramercy Park. 88%C PHOTOGRAPHED BY STUDIO SCRIVO BY ZACHARY KUSSIN lose your eyes and envision the general scene in the hit TV series “Downton Abbey.” There’s a palatial estate that houses stunning works of art. There’s a butler and a kitchen full of treats. Outside, there’s green space. Now imagine how this would translate to 21st-century New York City with a hip resident, and the result is the Gramercy Park home of artist Domingo Zapata. Here, a friendly butler — who this day is dressed in a pink Polo shirt, indigo jeans and black dress shoes — leads a visitor through this triplex portion of a 19th-century townhouse, whose cream-toned interior boasts standing Medieval suits of armor and patterned Louis XIV wall paneling, as well as Zapata’s own large-scale and brightly colored paintings. Instead of tea, the butler offers milkshakes from Shake Shack, of which there were two shelves full in the refrigerator from a charity auction held here the night before. The juxtapositions of old and new, formal and fun, bright and subdued are not only on display throughout the 8,600-square-foot triplex, but also embody the artist himself. “It’s my head, it’s my mind,” said Zapata, 39, gesticulating with purple paint-stained hands, of these myriad contrasts. He’s wearing a crisp, black buttoned-down shirt that shows off his tattooed arms, one of which sports an oversized watch. “If you could make a hole in my brain and look at it, you would see this.” Not surprisingly, Zapata’s artwork, on display throughout the spacious digs, gives Spent more than $20,000+ on home improvements/ decorating this year the biggest glimpse into his antithetical mind. On one end of his second-floor dining room hang his renditions of the iconic Mona Lisa portrait: One is wearing a gold crown, another has an X for a mouth and another bears the oxidized headpiece of the Statue of Liberty. Across the room, standing by the windows that overlook the garden, are two mounted chaquetillas — traditional jackets worn by bullfighters in Zapata’s native Spain — that are covered in layers of colorful paint. The wall next to the home’s sweeping staircase exhibits a large-scale crucifixion of Jesus Christ, with pops of pink, yellow and gold, and a painted “Do you believe?” on its right-hand side. There’s yet another contrast present inside the space on this cloudy day: a palpable silence in a home that is best known for buzzing with company. Every week or two, the gregarious Zapata welcomes actors, writers, musicians and artists into his rental home for a salon-style dinner discussion on what’s happening in the arts. Such guests have included Salman Rushdie, Ron Burkle and Lindsay Lohan — the latter of whom Zapata denied romancing in early May. Zapata said the process of hosting these gatherings is “organic.” Though he has help with the pre-party cleaning and food preparations, he insists they’re generally spur-ofthe-moment, casual hangouts with intellectual types. “I always like to hang out with creative people,” Zapata said. “I always said I am a painter and what I like to do is make the world a little more beautiful, and let all these other people who know so much mor about other things make it a better place.” Of course, not every gathering Zapat hosts is intimate — sometimes he throws bi bashes, and sometimes he hosts fundraiser Last fall, for example, the painter held a fund raiser for Mayor Bill de Blasio’s campaign guests included “Million Dollar Listin New York” star Ryan Serhant and hotelie Vikram Chatwal. “He said I redefined th [phrase] ‘studio apartment,’” said Zapata o the mayor, who, having admitted to hous envy, was punning on Zapata’s capaciou live/work digs.

Mo money, mo penthouse $29.995 MILLION Today’s top-flight homes are larger, pricier and more plentiful than ever before JULY/AUGUST: $28.5MILLION Artwork Deadline: June 28, 2015 T BY ZACHARY KUSSIN here’s a $50 million penthouse with its own 61-foot pool; a $25 million penthouse with three terraces; a $24 million combination penthouse that offers three floors of living space. Then there’s the $118.5 million three-penthouse combination in Battery Park City that’s currently the priciest listing in Manhattan. These kinds of listings used to make eyes pop and jaws drop. Now, however, while no one’s denying these are seriously luxe pads with seriously steep price tags, such deluxe penthouses are almost — almost — becoming commonplace. A total of 823 homes whose listings included the word “penthouse” hit the market in the first 29 weeks of 2014, according to data from website StreetEasy. That’s up from 800 penthouse listings during the same period in 2013. And not only are more penthouses hitting the market, they’re also pricier and bigger than ever before. So far this year, the median asking price is $3.975 million — that’s a whopping $1 million jump from the median price recorded last year. And their median measurement this year is 2,407 square feet, up from the median size of 2,001 square feet last year. With so many ultra-pricey, oversized pads hitting the market, is 2014 fast becoming the year of the penthouse? Michelle Griffith, an agent at Trump International Realty (who has two penthouses, one nearly $25 million and the other $35 million, on the market at 502 Park Avenue), says that it is. “New development is in full swing and the luxury market is seeing spectacular penthouses being marketed in Manhattan,” she told Luxury Listings NYC. Though list- ed in 2013, her penthouses are currently seeing “through-the-roof” activity from interested buyers, she said. What’s driving the penthouse bonanza? In a general sense, luxury housing — which, of course, includes penthouses — has rebounded and proliferated since the market crash, or “become vogue again,” in the words of Vickey Barron, a broker at Douglas Elliman. Barron is handling sales at the luxe Walker Tower at 212 West 18th Street, where the $50.9 million sale of a penthouse broke a downtown sale record early this year. “Luxury service and status is of interest to a lot of people,” she said. “There are some deep pockets and everyone wants the best piece.” But in this famously nonconformist city, the “best piece” usually translates to something one-of-a-kind. “What’s driving the market right now at the high end is unique space,” said appraiser Jonathan Miller. “People want something that’s different, especially at these high price points.” This comes as a transition in the city’s luxury housing market. In the 1980s and 1990s, according to Miller, a “penthouse” generally meant that the home was located at the top of a building and that it had modest outdoor space. Layout-wise, these homes were simply continuations of all the comparatively more humble apartments below them; builders tried to charge more for them and the market resisted the push, he said. Now, “the one defining characteristic is that there is not another unit very similar to it in the same building,” Miller said. (Think incomparable views and amenities.) “You’re creating a unique asset among the building OUTDOOR LIVING AND ENTERTAINING This Thomas Juul-Hansen-designed condo penthouse home packs quite the punch. On the market since May for $28.5 million, this duplex measures 6,700 square feet and comes with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and two half bathrooms. The living room, which features a fireplace, leads out to a 3,100-square-foot terrace with a 33-foot pool. The master suite has marble slab flooring in its bathroom, plus double rain shower heads with a steam shower. Leave lighting and window shades to smart-home technology, which controls them.

It’s a subset of a small subset.” It’s also a collector’s item that comes with a big premium, said Urban Compass President Leonard Steinberg. “There’s something unique and special about it,” he explains, comparing a singular penthouse to a priceless painting. “It can’t be replicated easily.” Steinberg has the co-exclusive listing for Jon Bon Jovi’s 158 Mercer Street duplex penthouse, which returned to the market in April for $37.5 million after a hiatus and a broker switch. In its listing, he details the 7,452-square-foot home’s panoramic, protected views of the surrounding neighborhood, which add to this home’s one-ofa-kind nature. “You try to replicate those views in Soho, it’s impossible,” he said. The people purchasing a penthousesized slice of the pie typically come in one of two types, according to Barron: Local New York City buyers who have the money and want to upgrade, and wealthy foreign buyers, who likely won’t live in the apartments full-time. “It’s like a fly-through penthouse,” she said. And just like the owner can get bragging rights by buying such a property, its builders can kvell over having this type of trophy in their portfolio. “I think 10 years ago, they were scared to do it because it would take 10 years to sell,” Barron said of developers, “but now the buyers are out there.” Moreover, a penthouse can boost a building’s standing in New York’s ultracompetitive market. “It’s a brand builder for the whole building,” Steinberg said. “And I think it does raise values.” Read on for a look at some of the glitziest penthouses to hit the market this year.
