Billionaire's Row - Driving Downtown - New York City 4K

Morning drive along Billionaire's Row (57th Street - home to the most expensive and anonymous safe deposit boxes in the world through shell companies and trusts) and the Upper East Side in Midtown Manhattan. I'll link to a video that shows these high rises from above.
Starting Point: goo.gl/maps/dbgjHrVjPqcS8irb7 .
Billionaires' Row is a set of ultra-luxury residential skyscrapers, constructed or in development, that are arrayed roughly along the southern end of Central Park in Manhattan, New York City. Several of these buildings are in the supertall category, taller than 1,000 feet (300 m), and are among the tallest buildings in the world. Since most of these pencil towers are built or proposed on 57th Street, the term has been used to refer to the street itself as well.
The area is notable for containing some of the most expensive residences in the world. The top two floors of One57 sold to Michael Dell for $100.47 million in 2015, setting a record for the most expensive apartment ever sold in New York. Another duplex in the building was bought by hedge fund manager Bill Ackman for $91.5 million. The top penthouse at 432 Park Avenue went to Saudi retail magnate Fawaz Al Hokair for $87.7 million, and hedge fund manager Kenneth C. Griffin is said to have bought three floors at 220 Central Park South for $238 million, breaking One57's record for the most expensive home sold in New York City and setting a new record for the most expensive home sold in the United States. Also at 220 CPS, several units were combined into a four-story mansion costing $250 million. These projects have generated controversy concerning the economic conditions and zoning policies that have encouraged these buildings, as well as the impact these towers will have on the surrounding neighborhoods and the shadows they will cast on Central Park.
One of the factors underlying the boom is foreign investment, often in the form of capital flight. Some of these buyers have poured money into high-end New York real estate for the purpose of tax avoidance, money laundering, or to export wealth to locales where it is less easily seized. Many of the apartments are only sporadically occupied, functioning as pied-à-terres, or as real-estate based "safe deposit boxes" for parking money.
The ultra-luxury building boom in the area predates the term "Billionaire's Row". Deutsche Bank Center, built in 2003, is at the southwest corner of Central Park. A majority of its tenants bought their condos anonymously (through shell companies and trusts); at least 17 of these have been identified as billionaires. 15 Central Park West (CPW), two blocks north, contains units that have been purchased by billionaires Sara Blakely, Lloyd Blankfein, Omid Kordestani, Daniel Loeb, Daniel Och, Eyal Ofer, Pan Shiyi, Sandy Weill, Jerry Yang, and Zhang Xin. Prior to the sale of the $100 million penthouse at One57, the record for an apartment in New York was $88 million paid by Dmitry Rybolovlev for a penthouse at 15 CPW.
In 2016, the United States Treasury Department announced it would start identifying and tracking the purchase of multi-million-dollar units, especially those paid for in cash or via shell companies, to cut down on the practice of money laundering. New laws in China restricting capital outflow have also been implemented, and lower oil prices have affected potential Middle Eastern buyers. Uncertainty over Brexit has also played a role. This has weakened the market for the highest-end units, with some declaring that the "Eight Digit Boom" on Billionaire's Row has ended. In the face of this soft market, at least one project in the area (1 Park Lane) has been put on hold.

New York City comprises 5 boroughs sitting where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean. At its core is Manhattan, a densely populated borough that’s among the world’s major commercial, financial and cultural centers. Its iconic sites include skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building and sprawling Central Park. Broadway theater is staged in neon-lit Times Square. ― Google

It’s still eerie to see Manhattan so empty, especially right before Xmas and crossing 5th Ave. I haven’t been back to Manhattan since just before COVID started. I remember a week before Xmas being in a cab and it taking what felt like an hour to get from 5th Ave. to the Queensboro bridge.

[@jalenr.6542]

It's early morning, and most office workers are working from home. It's just like old times after noon though

Funny, because I just experienced the opposite visiting NYC this weekend. It was so busy; everywhere was packed with people.

[@Jhggfyinjjfg]

I was there in October and it was packed to the brim. Took almost 2 hours in traffic to get from JFK to FiDi. All of Lower Manhattan was completely packed.

[@TheSilentWhales]

48 blocks without stopping at the lights? Impressive.

[@jutah]

did I got that many? I remember seeing a video years ago where someone filmed themselves going 100plus blocks on all greens lol

NEW YORK THE BEST CITY 🥰🌠

[@b_rah]

It’s amazing how wealthy people in New York City are even way wealthier than any other individuals in the world, and they’re still not that flexy as rich people in California, you can see a millionaire influencer in Beverly Hills with a Lamborghini Huracan, but in New York you will walk past many billionaires and you won’t realize that they are rich as fuck since they’re driving a Prius or maybe they’re just riding a taxi.
