Total Eclipse of the Heart
Alternate title: “Financial Transparency”
Many of the residential units in these Super Talls remain unoccupied, as an exercise in “commodification” of real estate. Easier to store and exchange enormous wealth if you pay, say, $100million for an apartment here, and don’t bother to occupy or personalize it. Lots of prestige, and more liquidity than ordinary real estate. Yes, it’s April Fool’s Day, but the joke is on New York’s taxpayers, not you.
Skyline along W57th St and the southern border of Central Park, in Midtown Manhattan.
