this is what one billion dollars looks like in new york city
on this channel we've gotten to tour some of the most expensive real estate that new
york city has to offer i'm talking 10 to 20 50 million dollar pieces of real estate
but no one has ever seen what one billion dollars looks like here in new york city
today is a special day i am pumped to announce my first billion dollar building
sellout i am exclusively representing skyline tower alongside an incredible team of top
agents here at nesseekers international and in this video i'm going to show you exactly what
one billion dollars worth of real estate looks like in new york city welcome to skyline
tower
this is the tallest condo in long island city and all of queens rising 67 stories
offering striking 360 degree panoramic views of manhattan to call this building
impressive is an understatement there are over 350 000 square feet of glass
wrapping this tower that's over six football fields of glass i actually got a chance to sit
down with the developer chris yoo to hear his vision for building skyline tower so chris what
was your vision behind constructing this beautiful building i wanted to leave a legacy project i had
this vision for a masterpiece so i went and built it the tallest residential building in the history
of new york city outside of manhattan changing the skyline of new york city for a generation
in this video we're throwing on the hard hats and giving you the first exclusive walkthrough
of this one-of-a-kind tower touring a model unit and finally checking out the penthouses
and of course for all things luxury new york city real estate make sure to subscribe to
my channel for future episodes and with that i'm proud to present skyline tower
so welcome to the lobby here at skyline tower there is 24 7 doorman concierge service whenever
you need it right here so heading on in you can just see the scale of how large this lobby is clad
with marble on the floors on the walls and a theme you'll see throughout this building is the brass
this is manhattan level quality in queens and the developers and designers really wanted to
make this oversized just so you would never feel like you were crowded in your home you
coming from a long day work you're meeting your friends here there's more than enough seating
just so it really feels open and spacious because this is a massive building but
let's head back down to the elevators from the lobby we're going to put on
the hard hats i'm going to show you what the amenities space looks like in this building
welcome to the spa this is so exclusive it's so new that is still under construction
but you'll see here in this rendering this is a 75 foot long
pool double heightened ceilings when this is done it's going to be all lined in bronze
marble sandstone with oak accents that nice white oak giving it that elevated luxury feeling
it's really interesting to get a look like this because you're seeing the raw construction
i mean we're in queens there's a seven train going by right there when this is all completed
i trained the past five but that even proves my point even more this is so new it's not
even done yet but when this is completed this will all be walled off floor to ceiling glass
city proof you won't be able to hear any train you'll just be able to see it and
enjoy it while you're swimming and your 75 foot long lap pool not only do we have the 75 foot
long lap pool we have just under 20 000 square feet of top of the line amenities i'm talking a
gym a cedar sauna steam room a children's play room this has pretty much everything
and anything you can imagine and you can see that in the renderings i just showed you but
comment down below if you want us to come back here when all this is fully completed
just so you can get that before and after on this construction of such a massive project
now i'm going to show you upstairs we actually have a few model units that are
completed so you can get a full tour of what apartments look like at skyline tower let's go
we are now on the seventh floor and i wanted to keep this as broad and realistic as we
can just to show you what this building is like in the process of finishing it out we
are walking down the corridor here this is apartment number 702 and in my opinion it's
one of the most unique apartments in the entire city it's a two bedroom just under 1 000 square
feet of interior living space it has double heighted ceilings here we're now in the kitchen
open concept living dining room but this apartment has something that i'm pretty
sure it's safe to say no other apartment has this this apartment has just under 4 000 square feet
of outdoor space
from the corner of the balcony looking up you can get that true perspective of how colossal
skyline tower is and this is something i want to touch on really fast especially
the concept of selling such a big project there's a general perception on social media
when it comes to luxury real estate that it's a one-man show but as you can see this is a huge
building and i am so fortunate to have such a team behind me a team of some of the best
agents here in the city that are working day and night on weekends pretty much 24 7
to sell this building a lot of people are going to call this place home one day
and it takes a team to sell that so we're only on the seventh floor and we have views like that
but back into this apartment this is a corner unit double-heighted ceilings lots of natural light but
as you can see this is empty space so to really get a sense of what it would be like to move into
a turnkey apartment we're gonna head up to the 27th floor and give a tour of a fully staged
unit as you can see it looks very different from the seventh this floor is pretty much
move and ready all the finishes on the walls the doors and like i said we're about to tour a unit
that is turnkey ready except in skyline tower we don't have keys check this out every apartment
in this building has latch security so simply download the app tap it on the door unlocking
this is a two bed two bath just under 1 000 square feet of interior space and this is move-in ready
we're just going to do a quick tour kind of showing you what it would actually look like
if you were living here so starting right off the entry we are in the open concept kitchen where we
have beautiful quartz countertops with the quartz backsplash all the appliances in this kitchen
are top of the line by bosch the cabinetry is all seamlessly designed just so aesthetic it is white
oak on these cabinets and then you'll notice even the accents on the sink keeping with that brass
that we saw in the lobby that brass theme kind of runs throughout the whole building and it really
gives it that elevated feeling all the interiors were done by white hall and right across here
we have the dining room table set for four and the main feature of this apartment is the views
we have floor to ceiling windows we're currently facing south so we have all that natural sunlight
we have views of downtown one world trade center you can see soho tribeca and also something very
unique it's one thing to see the views from your living room it's another thing to have
outdoor space where you can walk out to be in the city and have your own private outdoor space
this is what it's all about the views are one thing but to actually come outside
and to experience the city the ambiance the noises that's something very special and you
can find that here at skyline tower but let's head back on in from the main living space
we're now going to head down this hallway to the bedrooms so off to the right here we have
bedroom number one this is very spacious and it's currently staged as an office space from
the first bedroom we're gonna head back out to the hallway off to my left we have the guest bathroom
and at the end of the hallway we have the primary bedroom suite even take a look at this primary
bathroom it has such a minimal yet elevated feeling you have marble you have the glass
steam shower with those brass handles throughout and especially the vanity i love how you have this
recessed lighting giving you that nice glow you're getting ready for the day it's very aesthetic
along with the latch system we have a top of the line nest heating and cooling it's set to 80 right
now it's cooled down a little bit it's not that cold out spring's on the way but yeah everything
in this apartment is top of the line but if you really want to see top of the line we need to go
to the penthouse let's go to the penthouse so welcome to the penthouse level here at skyline
tower and as you can see it's still very much so under construction but i wanted to note that the
developer is willing to let if you are purchasing a penthouse here to let you customize it however
you want meaning you can reconfigure any layout any floor plan to essentially build your dream
house in the sky let me give you a quick example so we have the kitchen here and we have this
long hallway where all the bedrooms are off to the right the very end we have the first guest bedroom
as you can see it's sun drenched very warm there's a door to the terrace and outdoor space if you so
wanted this wall right here you could bust this down and connect this bedroom to this second
bedroom which is a bit smaller and combine it to make one just massive suite the possibilities are
really endless in these penthouses but the selling point of this unit check this out
the selling point is this private 1 000 square foot terrace
this is the highest private residential terrace outside of manhattan you know 1 000 square feet it
is huge as you can see on a clear day like today you can even see the atlantic ocean coney island
if you head over to the south you have views of brooklyn dumbo you can see all of downtown
one world trade center this is why this building was named skyline tower because you are literally
living in the sky all the information to purchase skyline tower is down below in the description
i'm not just saying this because i'm selling the building but these are going very fast
this is truly a one-of-a-kind building i want to thank you for watching this video especially
if you've been watching my channel since the beginning the og viewers back in 2015
