Dan Neiditch Leads the Way with NYC's Most Incredible Condominium

New York City real estate has officially entered the stratosphere.

New York is a town of big dreams, big personalities, and perhaps above all, big money. But real estate maven Daniel Neiditch had more than dollar signs on his mind when offering up his greatest property for sale. The 42nd Street penthouse, a stone’s throw from Times Square and the bright lights of Broadway, may possess an eye-popping $85 million price tag, but mega-money luxury housing isn’t out of place in NYC. It’s what else those millions get you (outside of a two-story apartment in the center of the world) that makes Daniel Neiditch’s offering truly spectacular.

Most of the listed amenities of the unit are expected of NYC ultra-luxury: the 8 beds and 8 baths, 24 hour use of the building's basketball, tennis and bocce courts, swimming pool, cutting-edge fitness center and the like. There’s a 24-hour concierge, valet, billiards, landscaped roof deck, daily breakfast, and many more to entice potential residents, but the story doesn’t end there. In fact, for the eventual owner of the penthouse unit, the story hasn’t even begun. Dan Neiditch has ensured that this future owner will be able to experience the city like few have before them.

This resident won’t be wanting for a place to get out of the city for a beach weekend-the unit comes with a summer’s getaway to a rental mansion in the Hamptons. They’ll have several options for getting there, too. Most will likely opt for the included convertible Rolls-Royce Phantom to get the beach air in their lungs as soon as possible. Rain in the forecast on travel day? The hardtop Phantom will do the trick. If they’re especially in a hurry, they’ll have a Lamborghini Aventador to make the trip. Three luxury cars may sound like an outrageously upscale benefit, but in making this penthouse among the most attractive in the world, Dan Neiditch is only getting started.

There’s also the year’s use of a multimillion-dollar yacht, with 5 years of docking fees thrown in as a bonus. How’s that for a Hamptons ride? The luxury vessel is certain to raise eyebrows for any guest, partner, client, friend or family member once they step aboard. Most New Yorkers likely wouldn’t get the chance to invite friends over for a fishing trip, but whoever moves into the top of the Atelier will have that and several other entertainment options at hand once they move in.

For those nights when the Atelier’s indoor basketball court doesn’t quite measure up, the penthouse’s owner can head down to booming downtown Brooklyn to see the NBA’s Nets in action from courtside. What better way to wow a potential partner than taking them to the beating heart of the city’s coolest borough? For an entire season, two courtside season tickets are a part of the package. That means having their feet on the same floor as every one of the NBA’s shining stars when they come into town. Ever stood next to LeBron James? He’s even bigger in person.

Regular trips to Brooklyn’s basketball mecca won’t be the only cultural offerings for Dan Neiditch’s penthouse tenant. For those looking for a bit more refined of an experience, the condo comes with a standing reservation, every week, at Daniel Boulud’s two Michelin-starred showpiece restaurant Daniel. The inventive New French cuisine earned Daniel recognition as one of the top ten restaurants in the world, which will make for a perfect change of pace from the penthouse unit’s included private chef. While at Daniel, if they plan on enjoying a glass or two of their vintage French wines, the building’s private shuttle can provide the night’s transportation. No need to bother with the Lamborghini.

It all may seem a bit astronomical, but that isn’t the half of it. In fact, the biggest bonus of them all will take the purchaser much further out of town than Southampton. In addition to the cars, the boat, the tickets and the dinners, whoever moves into the Atelier’s top floors will be able to reach ever further into the skies: 55,000 feet, to be more exact. That’s right, the apartment’s buyer also receives two tickets on a trip to space. The exact date is up in the air, but needless to say, this is a perk that will make even the busiest entrepreneur gladly clear their schedule.

$85 million might be outside of the purview of the average apartment hunter (even in New York City), but these ultra-luxury amenities, in addition to the building’s already-existing conveniences, await a buyer eager for the living space and lifestyle to be one of NYC’s true elite. For Daniel Neiditch, this is only the latest example in a career spent catering to the needs of the most demanding clients in the nation’s most competitive real estate market. When it comes to standing out, pedestrian simply won’t do. You’ve got to reach for the stars.
