November 2022

Located just east of Midtown Manhattan, The Centrale is a new development that blends contemporary design with timeless style. Developed by Ceruzzi Properties and designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the 71-story high-rise features classic Art Deco textures and motifs inspired by the era-defining buildings nearby. With elegant interiors by Champalimaud Design, the 124 condominium residences—80 percent of which are at the building’s corners—offer comfort and sanctuary with picture-frame views of the city beyond. Residents enjoy access to high-end amenities, including the Great Room with 36-foot-high ceilings and an art installation by Pascale Girardin, the Club Room with a fireplace, the Club Terrace for outdoor gatherings with friends and neighbors, an incredible Fitness Center, a 75-foot lap pool and a spa with on-site steam room, private treatment room and yoga studio. Among the residences currently for sale is PH70 , a penthouse unit spanning 5,388 square feet in size and host to five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half-bathroom. Douglas Elliman agents Stacy Spielman , Bertrand Buchin , and Diane Johnson represent the $24.95-million listing. The duplex penthouse is accessed by an elevator that opens up onto a private landing. The first level features an exceptional entertainment space that includes a living room, dining room and library and spans 63 linear feet. The living room boasts 12-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer incredible views of iconic landmarks, including the nearby Chrysler Building, Central Park and the George Washington Bridge to the northwest and well past the Freedom Tower at One World Trade to the south. Pocket doors lead into the dining room and connect the adjacent kitchen, which features a generous center island and sleek stainless-steel Gaggenau and Thermador appliances. The library with a fireplace and bedroom suite round out the first level. Upstairs, the expansive master bedroom suite offers a luxurious sanctuary for homeowners. Floor-to-ceiling windows are featured throughout, including in the spa-like bathroom, which has dual sinks, a private water closet, a walk-in shower and separate soaking tub. The bedroom offers access to five closets, two of which are walk-in. In addition to three more bedrooms down the hall from the master suite, all of which include en-suite bathrooms and spacious closets, the second level features a large laundry room.
