Pretty sure Jon has this bad boy on pre-order.
I wouldn't live in that place if they gave it to me for free...Because in that same city there are hundreds maybe thousands of people who either go to bed without a meal or doesn't have a roof over their heads.
It's nice...for someone else. To me though, it just looks so cold and soulless.

It's minimalist design. Some like it, some don't. The money is in that view though.
View? $95 million to stare at a city skyline? meh, here's another view for you:

Even better, it's only about 45 mins down the road from you. You can get a gorgeous 2 storey, 2bdrm condo for just under $500k, and stare at that from your home office every day. Not to mention, having three world class ski resorts in your backyard doesn't hurt either. It was great. Have a rough day a work, no worries, spend the next day on the hill.
To each their own, but I'd prefer that instead.
Well, it's not like those 95 million will go down the drain. You will still have a luxury apartment that you will be able to sell after some time to buy a castle in France if you ever get bored with it.
It doesn't take 95 mil to buy a castle in France. A couple mil will do just fine...
9 jaw-dropping French castles for price of 1 Vancouver tear down
You know what's funny, this NYC apt could probably be negotiated down to 80-85m with a good real estate agent, and that extra "chump change" the buyer would have could buy him all those 9 castles. :ugone2far:
You'd be better of negotiating paying $100 million and they throw in all the castles as a bonus with some other extras. The developer really wants that high price tag to bring up all the other units in the building. They'd much prefer a high price with a bunch of kick backs. The sale price is public information - the exact terms of the deal are not.
Also remember after you pay the $95 million cash you still have about ~$4 million a year in tax and building fees.
