Stunning Chicago penthouse on the market at $4.75M

by

This grand penthouse pad is perched atop stately 6 North Michigan Avenue, a deluxe condominium tower situated in Chicago’s historic Michigan Boulevard district. Built over a century ago and designed by Richard Schmidt in 1899, the historic brick building was the tallest in Chicago, being topped with a 10-story tower, a pyramid, a temple and an 18-foot-tall weather vane shaped like a female figure. It used to be the HQ of the Montgomery Ward Company, meant to increase its clients’ trust, and also had a public observation deck. Later on the tower and the temple were taken away for reasons of safety. Yet, the observation deck has been preserved and encased in glass and the building was renovated in 1923 and completely restored in recent years.

New York’s priciest listing: Pierre triplex penthouse at a jaw-dropping $125

by

The 12,000-square-foot penthouse in an iconic pre-war hotel, currently Manhattan’s priciest public listing, is $30M more than the city’s latest highest sale. Although some of its important downsides are the fact that, on account of the tower’s east-west orientation, the grand living room’s and the master bedroom’s windows do not overlook Central Park, the late financier and tycoon, Martin Zweig, set a record in 1999 when he purchased it for $21.5M and paid over $30,000 per month in maintenance. Failing to sell it for a $70M price tag in 2004, he withdrew it from the market. Now his widow is trying her luck.
