A glass edifice perched atop the One York condominium complex in New York City's Tribeca, this duplex gem offers the distinction of added customization by designer Thomas Juul-Hansen. Located at 1 York St., the penthouse features four of New York City's most prized attributes – views, space, privacy and personalization.

Valued at USD34 million, this 6,100 sqf three-bedroom, five-bathroom home boasts ceiling heights up to 11 ft., floor-to-ceiling windows and an impressive 1,930 sq. ft. of private outdoor space with panoramic views.

Developed by JANI Real Estate and designed by internationally-praised architect Enrique Norten, One York stands as one of the most recognizable residential buildings in the downtown area. The glass-enveloped tower sits on the brick base of a magnificent pre-civil war building.

A quiet neighborhood in which there is not much left to develop, Tribeca has some of the best schools in the city and continues to be a draw for professionals, with or without children. With an average listing price at twice the New York average, Tribeca's exclusivity credentials are guaranteed.

“Luxury in New York City is space and light, both of which exist in overabundance at the One York penthouse,” Juul-Hansen said. “In addition to this, being separated from the street vertically and not having any neighbors immediately adjacent, allows for the penthouse to retain privacy while being enclosed in glass.”
