In New York there is one area where the most exclusive and serviced properties coveted by the world’s wealthiest congregate, offering unparalleled views, extravagant amenities and a level of elegance unmatched anywhere else in the city. That’s Billionaires Row.
A Real Estate Phenomenon: The Rise of Billionaires’ Row
The development of Billionaires’ Row was made possible by advancements in construction techniques and changes in NYC zoning laws in the early 21st century.
These regulations enabled the construction of super-tall, ultra-thin towers that dramatically transformed the city’s skyline.
While Central Park South has long been home to prestigious luxury buildings, the modern concept of Billionaires’ Row was cemented with the completion of One57 in 2014.
The latest addition, Central Park Tower, was completed in 2021, marking the peak of this architectural revolution.
