? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-
What’s the story behind New York City’s giant skyscrapers running from Park Avenue to Broadway? This exclusive residential strip known as the B’naires’ Row is home to some of the world’s most expensive apartments, with pricetags sometimes exceeding USD 100 mn. Are they luxury homes or repositories of wealth for the super-rich? Yes.
The WSJ’s Katherine Clarke goes deep into the behind-the-scenes drama and power struggles that have shaped this unparalleled symbol of extreme wealth inequality. Look for the inside track on the towering “supertalls” that grace the 57th street, highlighting the clash known as the “race to the sky” between the experienced professionals in the Trump era and the ambitious newcomers in the industry.
Clarke's meticulous research and access to key players make this book a compelling read for those fascinated by the world of real estate and the staggering disparities in global wealth.
