An US$85 million (NZ$124 million) penthouse-level suite of condos for sale in the Atelier building in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen neighbourhood comes with an unusual array of amenities.
Along with the 13 condos totaling 15,000 square feet, the buyer can get a US$1 million yacht with docking fees for five years, two Rolls- Royce Phantoms (one convertible, one hardtop), a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, dinner for two weekly at Daniel Bolud’s restaurant for one year, courtside season tickets to the Brooklyn Nets for a year, a Hamptons mansion rental for a summer, a private chef and live-in butler services for one year and two round-trip tourist tickets to outer space.
The Atelier building overlooks the Hudson River and has been home to a number of celebrities over the years, including actors Jeremy Piven, Brendan Fraser, Hilary Duff, Dane Cook, Lindsay Lohan and Mekhi Phifer, as well as rapper and Maryland native Logic, according to Daniel Neiditch, owner of both the penthouse for sale and the brokerage River 2 River Realty, which represents the building.
The sale also comes with a US$2 million construction credit, allowing the buyer to renovate the 13 condos, which have tenants on month-to-month leases or to reconfigure the space to their preferred layout.

“Essentially we’re offering someone a floor and a half, a full floor up top, a half floor, so a duplex,” says Neiditch. “Fifteen thousand square feet — whether they’re individual apartments or not — you’re getting it all in one shot. We’re going to give all the amenities and the construction credit so we can build out the space to their specifications.”
The typical entrance to the condos is designed to have flow-through views of the Hudson River. Operable windows allow for fresh air if desired. Also visible is white oak flooring that comes with each unit.
The kitchens in the existing units come with granite countertops and Sub-Zero and Bosch stainless-steel appliances.
The model unit shows a possible orientation for an open-plan kitchen layout on the main floor. One of the rooms in the model unit is a smaller media room, facing the tall buildings on the other side of the street so there isn’t a strong glare against the screen.
The property has ample space for corner bedrooms with river views.
The building also has indoor and outdoor pools, a tennis court, a basketball court, a dog park, an indoor billiard room and an outdoor kids' play area.
Residents have access to an indoor kids' playroom with a variety of toys and art supplies. The building also has a co-working space, including the option to have a private room for meetings.
The communal outdoor gathering spaces at the Atelier building include landscaped patios, a rooftop deck and a barbecue grilling area.
