Eight is definitely someone\u2019s lucky number\u2014especially when a few zeros are tacked on at the end.<\/p>\n
The top-floor unit of the 80-story 80 Columbus Circle in Manhattan is coming to market for the first time in more than 20 years and asking a nice round $80 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The full-floor unit spans over 8,000 square feet and is part of the Mandarin Oriental Residences above the hotel in the Deutsche Bank Center.\u00a0It has eight rooms with eight ensuite baths, each with its own walk-in shower. <\/p>\n
It last sold in 2005 for a hair under $30 million to cosmetics executive Sandie Tillotson, a founding member and senior vice president at the Utah-based Nu Skin Enterprises. She agreed to purchase the unit in 2001 while the complex was under development as the Time Warner Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, the six-bedroom apartment features spacious living areas and views from every room, including a close up view of Central Park and panoramic 360-degree vistas stretching to the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, according to listing agent Eva J. Mohr of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are windows all the way around,\u201d Mohr said. \u201cThe views re spectacular and there\u2019s no obstacles in front of the windows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The apartment comes with a library and cinema, a primary bedroom with its own lounge, an oversized kitchen, a corner breakfast area with two glass walls and a utility room with caterer-level equipment and two sinks\u2014one for prepping flowers and the other for bathing pets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 80th-floor unit has never been resold and was rarely used by the seller, according to information provided by the listing agency. The corresponding top-level unit in the complex\u2019s second tower just sold. That unit once belonged to Related Companies boss Stephen Ross and sold for $50.7 million in an off-market deal last week.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe one that went for $55 [sic] million was completely redone with marble and it was beautiful, but you don\u2019t have the views,\u201d Mohr said.<\/p>\n
