In 2017, Matthew Perry purchased his lavish Century City penthouse for $20 million. In August of 2019, after two years of residence, his former home was listed on the market for $35 million. When the steep asking price failed to attract prospective buyers, the cost was reduced by 23% to $27 million in July of 2020. At the time, this was reported to be the priciest condo listed in Los Angeles. In November, the price was furthermore reduced to $23 million and was eventually removed from the market at the end of the year. It was relisted in April at $23 million before finally selling at $21.6 million this week. Although the final closing price is 38% less than Perry’s initial listing price, it is still the most expensive recorded condo sale in the city since 2015.

Designed by Robert A.M. Stern in 2009, Perry’s former penthouse occupies the entire 40^th floor of the 42-story building and span nearly 9,300 square feet of living space. The interior layout features four bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, expansive living rooms, and a spacious kitchen with center island. The extravagant master suite offers a curved glass wall, seating area with fireplace, dual closets, and dual bathrooms. The space also highlights four terraces offering panoramic views of the Los Angeles cityscape. Decorative elements include subdued hues and textured accents courtesy of renovations by architect Scott Joyce and designer LM Pagano. Other perks of the home consist of a screening room, billiards room, fitness studio, swimming pool, and three covered parking spaces.

Greg Holcomb and Cassandra Petersen of Compass held the listing for this property. James Harris of the Agency represented the buyer.

40 East End Avenue

40 East End Avenue, developed by Lightstone, is a new boutique Upper East Side condominium designed by Deborah Berke Partners in collaboration with Gerner Kronick + Valcarcel Architects. The condominium features 29 residences ranging from two- to five-bedroom apartments, a maisonette, a duplex penthouse with a private roof terrace and priced from about $3 million to $25 million. The development is located moments away from Carl Schurz Park and a wide array of neighborhood amenities and educational and cultural institutions.

20 East End Avenue, designed by internationally renowned Robert A.M. Stern, is a new condominium located on the northwest corner of 80th Street and East End Avenue in Manhattan’s prestigious Upper East Side neighborhood. The building comprises 41 two- to six-bedroom residences, including a Maisonette, two triplex Town Homes, and a stunning full-floor Penthouse.

170 East End Avenue is a premier luxury full-service condominium built-in 2008. The 93-unit building was designed by architect, Peter Marino, known globally for his residential and retail architecture and design. The 20-story building features two stone and glass structures, bridged by a glass sheath that reflects the shimmering water of the East River, light and urban landscape. Each of the residences is custom-designed by Marino with spacious floor plans, high-end finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and high ceilings.

All too often, new buildings are plopped down in the middle of the city with little regard for their location or context. When this happens on a recurring basis, cities around the world all start to become indistinguishable from one another. But when a building really considers its time, place and context, there is a uniqueness that buyers and residences truly value.

The following buildings have made concerted efforts to incorporate their context not only in their exterior architecture but also in the amenities they offer. With the diversity of New York City neighborhoods, there is a lot of material to draw on.

20 East End Avenue

Credit: Evan Joseph

Situated in a prestigious enclave on the Upper East Side, 20 East End Avenue fully embraces the neighborhood’s old school elegance in every aspect of the building. In addition to the beautiful limestone exterior which seamlessly blends into its stately surrounds, the entire amenities program evokes an era when the Astors, Vanderbilts, and Rockefellers dominated Manhattan and defined luxury. Just as these historic families lived in massive city homes where they entertained with ease, 20 East End created an amenities program that allows its residents to host parties where guests can drift from room to room as if they were in Vincent and Brooke Astor’s nearby mansion (from the motor court to the library, billiard room, wine cellar, and on). All of that without even stepping foot into a private residence.

One of the many standout amenities is the stunning midnight blue lacquered library with the roaring fireplace and a Jeffrey Milstein aerial photo of the nearby Metropolitan Museum of Art above. Not only does the elegant library and the Milstein photo remind people of the building's location and context but the developer, Ed Baquero, commissioned his world-renowned architect, Robert A.M. Stern, to curate a massive book collection as a love letter to New York. All the books are about New York’s culture from architecture to graffiti art, the best New York has to offer.

180 East 88th Street

Credit: March Made for DDG

Situated in the Upper East Side's coveted Carnegie Hill neighborhood, 180 East 88th Street is a striking condominium being developed and designed by national real estate developer DDG. Residents have access to an extensive selection of amenities but one that stands out in terms of respecting its location is their interactive children’s playroom designed in partnership with the Children’s Museum of the Arts. The light-filled room features plenty of space to run, draw, and play, and best, a slide. DDG was inspired by the building's proximity to and magnificent views of Central Park for the design of the playroom. The developers collaborated with several artists that commonly work with the American Museum of Natural History to create a one-of-a-kind diorama that will be housed in the children's playroom when the building is complete. Specifically designed to showcase the building's stunning Central Park views in an unconventional and experiential way, the extraordinary mural depicts a unique, tree-top vista of Central Park that includes the City's iconic skyline and continues onto the adjacent walls with a unique LEGO installation.

101 West 78th Street is an iconic,  late 19th Century building that has been transformed into a modern and elegant Upper West Side condominium residence. Designed by Belgian born Emile Gruwe and completed in 1886, the building is located directly across the street from The American Museum of Natural History and just one block from Central Park. Stephen Sills, Architectural Digest AD 100 designer transformed the building’s interiors, including the impressive lobby, polished amenity spaces, and a collection of generously appointed two to five bedroom condominium residences. The building offers a children’s playroom with a wall mural inspired by the Natural History Museum.

Jardim

Tucked away in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood, Jardim is the first U.S. residential development by Isay Weinfeld, the world-renowned Brazilian architect and interior designer known for his hotels and high-end homes, including the Fasano Hotels and the recently opened reincarnation of New York’s iconic Four Seasons Restaurant. Taking cues from its High Line-adjacent location, this plant-filled property boasts an ultra-private urban park that envelops the two 11-story towers comprising the development. A canopy of native evergreens and fragrant flowering trees soars above clusters of indigenous shrubs, while intimate lounge areas are nestled within thickets of native ferns and grasses, along with layered plantings of long-blooming perennials. In addition to its signature gardens, Jardim’s amenities include a sky-lit swimming pool, fitness studios, steam rooms and saunas—plus a block-long private tunnel that serves as a paparazzi-proof porte-cochère.

The Kent

Fans of New York’s iconic Palace Hotel will see similarities between this iconic grand dame and The Kent’s Drawing Room which was designed to be a place to be a meeting place as well as a space to receive and entertain guests. Similar to the Palace Hotel’s gilded cove ceiling, the Drawing Room also highlights a luminous gold cove feature. The bulbous, shimmering custom chandeliers that drop from the ceiling all complemented by lacquered, rich, wood panels and antique mirrors also draws parallels between the two entities.

Brooklyn Point

Brooklynites have long been climbing to greater heights at local climbing studio, Brooklyn Boulders. Now in downtown Brooklyn, residents at Brooklyn Point will be able to reach 35 foot altitudes within their own residential tower! Within the 40,000 square foot amenities package at Brooklyn Point is a 35-rock climbing wall. Overlooking double-height windows, the wall is as dramatic in design as it is challenging. Extell Development Company, inspired by Brooklyn Boulders to build the wall, will be partnering with the neighborhood staple to activate the space and offer private climbing classes for residents.

The Belnord

The Belnord is an iconic Upper West Side landmark that occupies an entire city block bounded by West 86th and 87th Streets, Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway. Robert A.M. Stern Architects, the world-renowned architecture firm, is overseeing the restoration of the original architecture and re-imagining the interiors for the residences. Originally designed by Hiss & Weekes and originally constructed in 1908, the Belnord is a superb example of a turn-of-the-century residential building. The property's new design will feature 95 residences, ranging from two- to five-bedrooms, situated across 14 floors. In addition, 9,000 square feet of state-of-the-art amenities will be incorporated into the building, and many of The Belnord's hallmarks - including the courtyard and the exterior architecture - will be restored to their original grandeur with updated features.

The Woolworth Tower Residences

The celebrated landmark Cass Gilbert-designed Woolworth Building's top 30 floors have been reimagined into 33 luxury condominium residences, called The Woolworth Tower Residences. The 33 residences that top the building's thirty floors were designed by renowned architect Thierry Despont, known for his work on the restoration of the Statue of Liberty, makeover of the Ritz Paris Hotel and Carlyle Hotel, and design of the flagship store for Ralph Lauren. Alchemy Properties paid homage to Frank Woolworth by restoring original details to reflect the building's glory days, including a $22M+ restoration of the striking terracotta facade, while simultaneously updating residences with modern day conveniences.

108 Leonard

108 Leonard is a 19th century landmarked building conversion located in Tribeca. Originally constructed in 1894 as the New York Life Insurance Company headquarters, the McKim, Mead & White architectural masterpiece will soon house more than 150 condominium residences within the Italian Renaissance Revival-style exterior. The ornamental majesty offers dramatic details of scale, proportion and volume paired with contemporary design by award-winning hospitality design firm Jeffrey Beers International.

Edward Baquero, President of Corigin Real Estate, the developer of the property, commented, "there are very few brands that are consistent with our values and what we have tried to accomplish here at 20 East End. Mercedes-Benz has a long legacy of incredible details and fine craftsmanship and we felt it was a great partner to tie in to our motor court launch."

20 East End’s motor court is planned to perfection. The paparazzi-proof custom gate leads cars into the circular drive. The hand-laid stones in a Tuscan-inspired scalloped design were placed to audibly replicate the sound of tires driving on a European driveway. In ground fixtures and chandeliers, which match the gate, light the way to a manned lobby entrance.

The crowning glory is the custom-made three-tiered Italian fountain, which stands at the end of the motor court. The fountain spent months with aeronautical sound engineers being tested to make sure the water flowed at the perfect zen pitch. It does.

On display were four AMG models, the top performance vehicles from Mercedes-Benz. They all oozed elegance. As described on the Mercedes site, “Fitted with numerous AMG enhancements, every vehicle screams "Drive me," because in the AMG family, performance is king. From coupes and sedans to SUVs and roadsters, the power and handling of the 43 lineup beckon to the world's most passionate drivers. All that's left to do is grip the wheel and press the accelerator.”

The 2018 AMG G wagon was a popular attraction. Starting at $142,800, the G wagon was originally designed for the military in 1945 and it is now designed in Austria with pure luxury and performance in mind. Weighing over 6000 pounds with a 7,700-pound towing capacity, the G wagon has three drive options, rear wheel, front wheel and all wheel. The double exhaust on the sides hints at the top tier of vehicle.

This G wagon was suited in a beautiful cranberry red quilted leather with black trim.

The AMG GLE 63S is the perfect family car with a lot of space and three climate zones but don’t be fooled von Karkoch says, “it may look like the soccer mom car but it’s ferocious. You can get whiplash by tapping the accelerator.” It’s described as having, “the usual luxury appointments, but with a hot-rod flavor.” The starting price is $109,700.

The AMG S63 Cabriolet with a V8 engine with 603 horsepower is Mercedes’ flagship model. It comes with the finest Napa leather, a chair massage feature and, if the weather is a tad cold with the top down, neck warmers to take the chill off. It retails for $175,500.

There was also the AMG C63 Cabriolet with 469 horsepower and starting at $73,500.

After touring the cars, guests were led up to the top floor Penthouse A, the true pinnacle of the building. With sweeping 360 degree views of Manhattan and the East River, this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom residence has an art gallery, library and family room, formal dining room, living room, and exclusive rooftop terrace in addition to access to all of the building’s incredible amenities. Spanning approximately 6,050 interior square feet, and 4,542 exterior square feet, this palatial residence features up to 12-foot ceiling heights, three wood burning fireplaces, an outdoor wood burning fireplace and so much more.

It was a night of beauty and elegance. Guests mingled, enjoyed a harp performance and sipped champagne while soaking in the view and contemplating which AMG they would prefer to drive home into the motor court at the end of each day.

Jardim

Jardim, the Portuguese word for garden, is a fitting name for the first New York building by Isay Weinfeld, the world-renowned Brazilian architect and interior designer. With a canopy of native evergreens and flowering trees, an ultra-private urban park envelops the two 11-story towers that comprise this West Chelsea development. Weinfeld has designed spas and pools for some of the most elegant contemporary resorts in the world, including the Fasano Las Piedras in Punta del Este, Uruguay. He brings that same attention to sensory experience to the amenities at Jardim, where a serene pool surrounded by cool terrazzo floors and warm reclaimed old-growth pine walls opens up to the courtyard gardens with staggered skylights, suffusing the space with sunlight. Additional amenities include a fitness center, massage rooms and a block-long tunnel that acts as a private driveway.

Superstar hospitality designer, Alexandra Champalimaud (Beverly Hills Hotel, Raffles Singapore, The Palace Hotel, Four Seasons Jakarta) is at the helm for the interiors of The Kent, a 30-story art deco development located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
