A New York City penthouse that spans five floors and sits just a block from the Empire State Building has hit the market for $98 million.
Called "Le Penthouse," the Midtown Manhattan condo has 19,000 square feet of interior space and about 4,500 square feet of outdoor space.
"To my knowledge, ‘Le Penthouse’ at 172 Madison Avenue is the most expensive home for sale in the current NYC market," listing agent Raphael Sitruk of Keller Williams NYC told Business Insider.
The condo comes as a "white box" without any finishings or appliances so that the buyer can customize everything to his or her tastes, according to Sitruk.
"It’s like having an infinite white canvas and designing the unique apartment you’re dreaming about," Sitruk said.
While it’s been reported that the apartment is New York City’s second-most expensive listing, Business Insider cross-checked the listing across sites including Zillow, Trulia, and StreetEasy, and was not able to find any other listings that exceeded ‘Le Penthouse’s’ $98 million price tag. Real-estate appraiser and marker analysis Jonathan Miller confirmed it’s the most expensive active listing in the city.
Here’s a look inside the most expensive listing in New York City.
