Penthouse atop world's skinniest skyscraper is now on the market for $110 million
A penthouse of the 'supertall' Manhattan building dubbed the world's skinniest skyscraper has hit the market at $110 million.
The four-story home, or 'quadplex,' spans floors 80 to 83 of the 1,428-foot-tall Steinway Tower and overlooks Central Park. With interiors designed by Studio Sofield, the suggested floor plans features an 'entertaining suite' on the first floor, a 'primary suite' on the third floor, while the proposed layout is topped off by a 'crown suite' containing a bar and screening room. In total, the property features five bedrooms, six bathrooms and two terraces, as well as 360-degree views of New York City.
Steinway Tower, or 111 West 57th Street, was completed in 2022 on the site once occupied by the historic Steinway & Sons piano company. Designed by SHoP Architects and Studio Sofield, the building is one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Western hemisphere — and the most slender, with a height-to-width ratio of 24:1.
The building's design is meant to evoke New York's Gilded Age of the late 19th century, when the city experienced a period of unprecedented wealth and a subsequent boom in skyscraper construction, according to the architects.
The vertiginous tower's facade appears to change throughout the day as the color and texture of the terracotta blocks shift in the light. Inside, designers created a sense of opulence with materials such as marble, limestone, blackened steel and velvet used in the common spaces, and artworks by the likes of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse adorning the walls. Its amenities include an 82-foot swimming pool, private dining rooms and a landscaped terrace.
'We've all been to very luxurious places, but I wanted to create a building that could not be anywhere else in the world,' Studio Sofield's founder, William Sofield, told CNN in 2022. 'I know so many people might have multiple homes, who will have apartments here. And I wanted to create a very distinct experience that could only be had in New York.'
Steinway Tower sits on New York's Billionaire's Row, where pencil towers have continued to climb higher, including the nearby Central Park Tower, which is the second-tallest building in the city behind One World Trade Center. Though quadplex apartments are rare, another one on Billionaire's Row — a 24,000-square-foot apartment at 220 Central Park South — broke records in 2019 when it sold for $238 million to become the most expensive home ever sold in the United States.

McKinley's Gilded Age tariff disaster should give Trump pause
President Trump is fond of the that industrial and financial boom period from the American Civil War to about 1900 — labeled by no less than Mark Twain as 'the Gilded Age' for its superficial appearance of prosperity. Trump is especially fond of the president who best exemplified the high tariff protectionism of that period — Republican William McKinley, a longtime member of Congress, sent to the White House by voters in 1896. Trump praised McKinley in his inaugural speech to a second term, claiming that McKinley 'made our nation very rich through tariffs.' Trump also restored the historic name Mount McKinley to the highest mountain in North America — it had been changed to an indigenous people's name, Mount Denali, by the Obama administration in 2015. Both men saw tariffs as a source of income for the U.S. and both became enamored of high protective tariffs in their 30s. For McKinley, it happened at age 34, upon entering Congress on advice from then-President Rutherford Hayes, who suggested he make one issue the signature cause in his political career. This was a safe move as Republicans and their predecessors, the Whigs and Federalists, had generally supported high tariffs to protect the growth of American manufactures. The McKinley Tariff of 1890 was one of the highest ever, in competition with lower tariff proposals by Democrats, including the Wilson-Gorman Tariff, passed in 1894, which lowered tariffs by about 2 percent, but added a small income tax on the highest incomes. This may be the key to Trump's obsession with raising tariffs, as he always pairs it with lowering income taxes, especially on the wealthiest Americans. Television interviews with Trump, including one from 1988, when he was 42, show him incensed at how the U.S. was being 'ripped off' by foreign nations via trade deficits. He had this outlook at least a decade earlier, and it seems today almost a personal matter with him as he employs vivid language about the U.S. being 'raped,' harmed and brutally taken advantage of, despite easily remaining the top economic power on the planet since at least 1900. 'We were at our richest from 1870 to 1913,' Trump said after beginning his second term. 'That's when we were a tariff country. And then they went to an income tax concept,' he added, referring to the 1913 Constitutional amendment establishing the federal income tax. He was thinking of the windfall of tariff income during McKinley's one full term, but that had followed a steep recession under Democrat Grover Cleveland's second term, which followed the McKinley Tariff of 1890. The problem with Trump's reasoning is that in the 1890s, there was no Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, and quite a small armed forces. The idea that tariff income could replace income tax revenue today is absurd. In fact, less than 1 percent of the U.S. GDP — now a whopping $29 trillion — comes from tariffs, and less than that went to federal income. Trump also ignores the fact that McKinley himself softened on tariffs during his presidency, realizing that the booming North American economy, fed by cheap immigrant labor and British financial investment, was creating more goods than could be absorbed by the home market, thus requiring exportation. McKinley began speaking of 'reciprocity' and became more open to some aspects of free trade. Finally, historians today are doubtful that the U.S. economic boom of the late 1890s owed much to tariff policies. The seesaw between tariff income and tax income took a sharp one-way move when the Underwood-Simmons Tariff Act of 1913 cut tariffs to under 40 percent while endorsing a new federal income tax. Yet Trump sticks to his April 2 tariff policy, which has erased trillions from the Dow and thrown the global economy into confusion, while continuing to claim on his social media network that, 'When Tariffs cut in, many people's Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated.' The most recent trade deficit was about $1.2 trillion, offset by a U.S. $300 billion profit in trade services, leaving a deficit of about $900 billion. Of that, about half ($465 billion) was from two countries, China and Mexico (mostly China). A scaled-back effort to deal with China and Mexico, two fentanyl-producing nations, would have made sense, but Trump went global. Born almost exactly a century after McKinley, Trump's global tariff war is based on a nonexistent crisis that gives him authority under a 1977 'national emergency' law based on a foreign threat to unilaterally change tariff policy. Results include a falling stock market, disruption of supply chains, retaliation from some countries, loss of markets and a falling dollar. Steep increases in prices of foreign goods will follow soon and even the bond market may begin to crater. Inflation in prices could be decisive in handing Congress back to Democrats next year. It could effectively end the Trump presidency's ambitions, except in foreign policy, where his loose talk of taking back the Panama Canal, annexing Greenland and making Canada a 51st state are grotesque shadows of McKinley's policies of expansion to Hawaii and the Philippines. The Gilded Age is not a good model for today. James Delmont is a former journalist and university teacher who taught history for 18 years as an adjunct professor with the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
