\n\tDozens of 50-story-plus skyscrapers now compete for distinction among the Big Apple\u2019s tallest residential buildings.\u00a0Central Park Tower<\/a>\u00a0holds the top spot on West 57th Street, while a new arrival just south of the Empire State Building on Fifth Avenue ranks as the loftiest along the seven-mile strip renowned for its designer boutiques, cultural institutions, and Central Park.<\/p>\n

\n\t262 Fifth Avenue<\/a>\u00a0rises 52 stories, or 860 feet, above NoMad (north of Madison Square Park). Five Points Development Group spearheaded the project, with design by\u00a0Meganom<\/a>\u00a0and Copenhagen-based\u00a0Norm Architects<\/a>\u00a0marking their first residential collaboration in the city. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe pencil-thin tower contains just 26 full-floor and duplex residences and is capped by a 70-foot oculus framed by a 24-karat gold inverted arch. Renowned gold-leaf atelier\u00a0Giusto Manetti Battiloro<\/a>, whose restoration portfolio includes the Florence Cathedral, London\u2019s Big Ben, and the Rockefeller Center\u2019s Prometheus statue, was commissioned to create the beacon-like element that punctuates the building\u2019s light-refracting white facade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOn-site health and wellness options were an important factor in the building\u2019s design, with the state-of-the-art facilities providing cardio and strength-training equipment, a spinning and yoga studio, and private treatment rooms. Indeed, \u201cWellness is embedded into every aspect of 262 Fifth Avenue,\u201d press materials say, including an air filtration system with \u201c100% fresh air circulation on an hourly basis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tSmooth hardwood flooring and veined stone details accentuate the residences.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHayes Davidson<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cConceived as a collection of vertical villas, each residence possesses a distinct spatial identity shaped by orientation, natural light, proportions, and uninterrupted views across Manhattan and beyond,\u201d press materials relay.<\/p>\n

\n\tPicture soaring ceilings, handcrafted millwork, radiant-heated flooring, plus custom kitchens and wardrobes by Molteni&C<\/a> to start. Then consider the high-rise\u2019s exo-core design, a structural concept that separates the building\u2019s core from the residences, which allows them to provide open layouts and expansive living spaces with panoramic vistas.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tA sky-high terrace provides an extraordinary setting for private occasions.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHayes Davidson<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond the limited number of residences, a secure motor court ensures discretion for arrivals and departures. Five hundred and sixty feet above the city, meanwhile, a three-story terrace provides a dramatic setting for private gatherings and quieter moments above the city\u2019s sirens and bustling foot traffic. 262 Fifth is slated to be completed by early 2027, with VIP showings now underway and an official sales launch planned for the fall.<\/p>\n

\n\tNikki Field and Ben Pofcher of\u00a0The Field Team at Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/a>, in partnership with Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Development Advisors, are leading sales. Simplex residences are priced from $7.5 million, mezzanine residences from $8.75 million, and duplex residences from $18 million. Visit 262FifthAvenue.com<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n
