Property Description
Former home of legendary and celebrated music producer Clive Davis, this spectacular penthouse duplex occupies the 36th and 37th floors of the historic Ritz Tower. Rich in provenance and distinguished by dramatic scale, exceptional views, and extraordinary entertaining spaces, this remarkable home offers a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic residence in one of New York's most coveted locations.
Entering through the private main entrance on the 37th floor, the residence opens into an extraordinary nearly 48-foot-long great room, designed on a grand scale for sophisticated entertaining. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and dramatic city views create a spectacular sense of openness, while the panoramic vistas extend in multiple directions, showcasing the Manhattan skyline and filling the space with exceptional natural light. Conceived as a seamless living, dining, and entertaining environment, the great room reflects the residence's distinctive architectural character and exceptional scale.
Throughout the duplex, rich, dark materials and carefully considered finishes lend depth and warmth to the interiors. Makassar ebony, prized both for its dramatic grain and luxurious character, and fittingly often used in custom guitars, features prominently in the paneling, built-in cabinetry, bookcases, and desk, creating a cohesive design language.
The private primary suite occupies a serene corner of the upper level, with dramatic southern and western exposures and sweeping city views. Custom Makassar ebony millwork frames the space and provides convenient and elegant storage. The generous primary bath is finished in black marble and connects to a spacious home office, which offers the flexibility to be reconfigured as an additional bedroom with its own en-suite bath.
A convenient secondary kitchen on this level provides exceptional functionality and allows for effortless service without descending to the lower floor.
Designed by Robert Metzger and Vicente Wolf, the unit's rich wood finishes, refined detailing, and clean architectural lines reflect the apartment's design pedigree, while luxurious materials and thoughtful craftsmanship create an atmosphere of luxurious sophistication.
A striking, custom-designed wood-paneled spiral staircase leads to the entertaining level below, where a gracious formal dining room sets the stage for elegant gatherings. Directly off the dining room is the residence's private screening room, an exceptionally rare in-unit amenity with distinctive Art Deco character and a fitting reflection of the residence's entertainment pedigree. Designed for an immersive viewing experience, the screening room features remote-controlled shades and high-tech capabilities, offering a private cinematic setting within the home.
The 36th floor may also be entered via a private entrance, offering additional privacy and facilitating the use of the lower level as a more independent guest or family wing while maintaining seamless connection to the main residence.
A studio residence on the 14th floor is also available, offering additional flexibility for guests, staff, or a private retreat.
Residents of The Ritz Tower enjoy an exceptional level of white-glove service and hotel-caliber amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, attended elevators, concierge services, in-house chef room service, daily housekeeping, valet and laundry services, and 24-hour on-site maintenance. Additional amenities include a brand-new fitness center, party and meeting room, safety deposit boxes, and notary services.
Perfectly positioned at the corner of Park Avenue and 57th Street, The Ritz Tower, designed by Emery Roth and Thomas Hastings and built in 1926, places residents at the center of Manhattan's most refined offerings, moments from Central Park, world-class dining, luxury boutiques, and Midtown's renowned cultural and business landmarks.
The pet-friendly cooperative welcomes pied-à-terre ownership as well as purchases by internati
