The Plaza

163 Units 19 Stories Built in 1907 715,226 Sq Ft

The Plaza is one of New York’s most storied buildings, from the children’s books by Kay Thompson that chronicle the adventures of Eloise and her resident menagerie to tales of Donald and the late Ivana Trump gilding every room when they owned it in the 1980s. The list of famous faces that have stayed at The Plaza — which opened in 1907 as a luxury hotel and was renovated to include condos in 2007 — includes some of the boldest bold-face names, with Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Christian Dior and NFL owner Robert Kraft among them. Even The Beatles stayed at the Plaza. Located on Fifth Avenue across the street from Central Park, the French chateau-inspired hotel and residence also impresses with its mansard roof, uniformed doormen and five-star spa. In the mid- to late-aughts, the world’s 1% were lining up to buy, often at absorbent prices. However, there have been issues with the condo development, including lawsuits and absentee owners.

City - New York

There's a reason New York City has been the backdrop of countless films, novels, and lifelong ambitions; it simply does things at a scale and intensity that no other place in the country matches. Spread across five distinct boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — the city offers wildly different ways to experience daily life depending on where you plant your roots. Whether you're drawn to the electric pace of Midtown, the tree-lined streets of Park Slope, or the arts-forward energy of Astoria, each corner of the city carries its own character and cadence.

The rental landscape here is as varied as the city itself. Sleek high-rise apartment communities with floor-to-ceiling skyline views define much of Midtown and the Financial District, while pre-war lofts and historic brownstones dominate neighborhoods like SoHo, the West Village, and Park Slope.
