Completed in 1913, it stood as the tallest building in the world until 1930,

when the Chrysler Building was erected. The top thirty floors have been

converted to residences, though the 33 units are still under construction,

which will include full-floor homes on the market for $26.4 million. Designed

by French architect and designer Thierry Despont, all of the apartments

feature custom kitchens with Dada cabinetry, Calacatta Caldia marble

countertops and backsplashes, solid oak herringbone floors, and a suite of

integrated Miele appliances. The building's amenities include a pool, spa,

and sauna; a wine cellar and tasting room; and an exclusive entertainment

salon. With one-bedroom units starting at $4.6 million, it may be worth it to

live in the "cathedral in the sky."

Below is a model apartment, decorated by Alan Tanksley, which represents

2-3 bedroom units that will be priced around $9.5 million.
