212 Fifth Avenue is a building that bridges the gap of modernity. It is a relevant link between centuries, a thread of continuity between the industrial and technological revolutions. The building was envisioned using thoroughly modern concepts; it is an early example of an open plan skyscraper with oversized windows, built at a time and place in history when the logical formal outcome of that concept was too radical a proposition for its moment.

The penthouse spans 10,000 square feet with an addition of 5,000 square feet of outdoor space. The bronze staircase, terrace with a copper parapet and high-end finishes are details Pembroke & Ives are renowned for.

The triplex penthouse has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, smart home technology, four exposures, a chef’s kitchen, and enough closet space the richest man in the world could want. The gallery walls also make the crown jewel an art lover's paradise. The real highlights of the home include the observatory on the top floor, the huge skylight, a marble-and-glass fireplace in the library, and the two pools. Yes, we said two.

Each space is designed to be highly interactive and features fun elements such as a slide, train table, and safari car.
