The Apex Duplex: The Highest Duplex Residence in the World

A Global Icon of Residential Luxury

Positioned atop Central Park Tower, the tallest residential building in the world, The Apex Duplex occupies the 127th and 128th floors, offering a residence unlike any other on the planet. At 1,550 feet above ground, Central Park Tower dominates Manhattan’s Billionaires’ Row and redefines luxury living with panoramic views over Central Park, the Hudson and East Rivers, and the iconic New York skyline. 

Central Park Tower itself is a testament to modern architecture and engineering, rising 98 stories and featuring 179 ultra-luxury homes designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, the duo also responsible for globally renowned skyscrapers. Its glass façade and slender profile reflect a contemporary yet timeless presence in Midtown Manhattan. 

Grand Arrivals & Architectural Narrative

From the moment one steps through the private reception hall, The Apex Duplex sets a tone of scale and artistry. A 39-foot gallery leads into living spaces defined by openness, dramatic light, and sweeping views. With ceiling heights soaring up to 14 feet and crystalline floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the duplex is designed to celebrate open space, a fitting home within the world’s tallest residential address. 

The residence’s architectural narrative is anchored by a sculptural double-height stair hall. A glass-enclosed staircase rises between levels, becoming both circulation and centrepiece, reinforcing the duplex’s extraordinary sense of spatial drama.

Panorama & Interior Craftsmanship

The main living area reveals 270-degree views that stretch from Central Park’s treetops to the far edges of the metropolitan horizon. Adjacent to this grand space, a refined library and private office offer quieter domains, each framed by the same extraordinary vistas. 

The chef’s kitchen is a study in bespoke materials and craftsmanship, featuring custom eucalyptus cabinetry by Smallbone of Devizes, book-matched Statuary marble countertops, Dornbracht polished nickel fixtures, bespoke hardware, and white Neuvellano stone flooring, a palette chosen for both beauty and enduring quality. 

A Sanctuary in the Sky

The primary suite unfolds as a retreat above the Manhattan skyline. The suite boasts two expansive dressing rooms and dual marble bathrooms with radiant heated floors, Dornbracht fittings, and a freestanding tub positioned to take in uninterrupted views over Central Park.

Amenity World - The Central Park Club

Beyond the apartment itself, residents of Central Park Tower enjoy access to the Central Park Club, a 50,000-square-foot multi-level amenity experience. This curated set of lifestyle spaces extends the concept of home far beyond private square footage and includes:
