A LUXURY penthouse on top of the world’s skinniest skyscraper has hit the market for an eye-watering £85million.

The magnificent apartment features a stunning view of New York City and boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

The lavish apartment is on the top floor of Manhattan’s Steinway Tower that was once home to the historic Steinway & Sons piano company.

The 1920s piano store was converted into a series of luxury apartments in 2022 – and this five bed penthouse is the pick of the lot.

Arranged over four floors, the pad “quadplex” is designed to make the most of the unrivalled views of New York City.

The property boasts two terraces and a multitude of floor-to-ceiling windows throughout.

The bottom floor, which is on the eightieth story, comprises a luxurious entertaining suite – sure to impress any guest.

But it’s the crown suite which is the most impressive – complete with a bar and screening room.

The penthouse’s interior oozes luxury with an abundance of marble, limestone, blackened steel and velvet throughout.

And to top it all off, original artworks by the likes of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse adorn the walls.

If you’re still not convinced the property also comes with 82-foot swimming pool, letting you swim among the clouds.

The Steinway Tower is the world’s skinniest skyscraper with a height-to-width ratio of 24:1.

The tower is an impressive 1,428ft tall but just 57ft wide.

Its design is inspired by New York’s Gilded Age – when the city experienced a period boasted great wealth.

But what really makes the tower stand out is the way its colour and texture changes in the light.

Steinway Tower is an addition to Steinway Hall, once a cultural hub in Manhattan.

The new construction began in 2013 and was completed in 2022.

Steinway tower sits on New York’s Billionaire’s Row, next to the infamous Central Park Tower – the second-tallest building in the city behind One World Trade Center. 

Central Park Tower is home to the world’s tallest penthouse which hit the market for £250million.

The penthouse – known as The One Above All Else – is located at 1,416 feet at the top of the tower.

The impressive property has 23 rooms and even offers a view of the Empire State Building.

Dubai is planning to unveil a new skinny skyscraper which will be the second-skinniest in the world after the Steinway Tower.

The Muraba Veil will stand at a huge 1,247 feet high but will only reach 74 feet across.

The building is set to be a high-end living complex for some of Dubai and the world’s uber-rich.

A mix of 131 luxury two to five-bedroom apartments will span across the skyscraper’s 71 stories.
