THE HONG KONG DOLLAR IN MANHATTAN

The Philippe Starck Building is one of Manhattan's most spectacular conversions. Located across the street from the New York Stock Exchange on what the New York Times calls "Finance's Holiest Corner" and where the global economy all started, is America's renown historic building "The House of Morgan." The conversion was just finished this year as residential condominiums with a multitude of amenities: Full-time Doorman; Concierge; Starck Gold-leaf Receiving Room; Basketball Court; Bowling Alley; Fitness Center; Yoga/Ballet Studio; Theater by Theo; Children's Playroom; and The Starck Park with a terrace, reflecting pool and lounge. The ground floor has been leased by Hermes and will open in 2007 with Tiffany just around the corner on Wall Street.

Available is a high-floor corner unit with a private terrace and spectacular views north and west. Two bedrooms (one ensuite); two bathrooms; living/dining room with 11' ceilings and 4" wide maple floors; Starck designed kitchen with white quartz counters, Bosch and Jenn-Aire appliances; video intercom. Owner of this unit now lives in Hong Kong and regretfully needs to sell. 1763 square feet, asking $2,100,000 US or $16,338,000 HKD.
