Built in 1928, the Pierre was designed by Schultze and Weaver. The 44-storey structure is set back from Fifth Avenue, 500 feet above 61st Street, and is topped with a mansard-style copper roof.
The Pierre was once owned by John Paul Getty, who bought it in 1938 and turned it into a cooperative in 1959. The building underwent a $100 million renovation in 2005 and is now a luxury hotel and residence managed by Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces.
Residence owners get to enjoy all the luxurious spoils, including access to all hotel services, including 24-hour concierge, twice-daily maid service, spa and fitness centre, and fine dining restaurants and bars.
The beautiful property is listed with Christie's International Real Estate.
