Overview

This unique private tour will take you on a journey along Billionaires Row!
(each booking allows for a group up to 10 people)

See the world’s tallest residential building. Stare up at the world’s thinnest skyscraper. See the building where a penthouse sold for $238 million… the highest home sale price in US history. And more!

NYC is in the midst of a new skyscraper age, leaving icons like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building in the dust. In the last decade, 40+ skyscrapers have popped up, all over 700 feet tall. In the entire previous century, there were 38 skyscrapers. But the biggest buildings in this age of the “supertalls” are a series of residential buildings dubbed Billionaires Row.

And learn the factors that led to this modern skyscraper boom.

And we will discuss the controversies over how these buildings reflect the economic divides of 21st-century NYC.

[NOTE: We do not go inside any of the buildings. It is an outdoor tour only.]
