  1. The best apartments were built in the 1920's.

  2. They'll hire a decorator who will get things to the trade only at the D&D building and similar places. The Macassar ebony veneers throughout the living area suggest 1920's Art Deco furnishings.

  3. It's not a "raise three kids" kind of place. The typical owner would have multiple homes and just use this as a pied-a-terre for visits to the city.

  4. I wouldn't call banks "unsafe". People don't lose their money in banks anymore. Not in the US. But bank CD's or savings accounts aren't much of an "investment" unless your only goal is safety of principal. The last place you want to put your money is in the so-called "cryptos". Unregulated is unsafe.

  5. The person who buys it will have other homes. It will proably be vacant most of the time. They took the "Trump" name off the building but it still has all the phony lies. This apartment is 82CD but it is not the top floor and the building only has 72 floors.

  6. I'm glad the building was smart enough to drop the "Trump World Tower" name. The building has 72 floors but Trump told the penthouse buyers that they were on the 92nd floor. This apartment is on "82". Yes, the ceiling heights are higher than average, but legally the entire building is 72 stories, whih is still pretty tall. $17K/mo in common charges and taxes, which is high, even for a "5,000 s.f." apartment. The renovation looks very high end. Macassar ebony cabinetry is expensive. Needs window treatments if you want to get out of bed after dawn. Originally, lots of Russians and Saudis bought here. So did Jeter. Now? It's a condo, so probably foreign owners. Near the UN, but remote from the rest of the City. You need a car and driver.

  7. About $17K/mo
