The building is held up not by an ordinary internal core alone but by a sculptural concrete 'diagrid' exoskeleton, a lattice of angled load-bearing members that Nouvel exposes rather than hides, so the structure itself becomes the architecture, threading dramatic slanted columns and tilting windows through interiors designed by Thierry Despont. Rising directly above and expanding the Museum of Modern Art, the tower devotes roughly 40,000 square feet at its base to new MoMA gallery space, fusing a world museum and a private residence into one address. Every home is essentially bespoke, since the diagrid means almost no two floor plates are identical, and floor-to-ceiling glass frames sweeping views of Central Park, the Hudson and the Manhattan skyline.

Every closing since 2020
Deeds recorded with the City of New York — actual closing prices, never asking prices.
Highest annual average: $3,190/SF in 2021. 2026 to date: $2,955/SF across 9 closings. Annual averages swing with the mix — a penthouse year reads high.
The busiest year was 2020, with 50 closings.
110 closings plotted, from $1.08M to $29.5M. Larger residences generally trade higher.
Lowest: Residence 15E, studio, 442 sf, $1,080,000 (Mar 2025). Highest: Residence 65, 4-bed, 6,448 sf, $29,500,000 (Jan 2026). Lowest and highest figures use arm's-length, single-residence deeds within the $/SF band below.
Source: NYC ACRIS recorded deeds for the 161 residential condominium lots, matched to DOF gross square feet. 110 closings charted. Not counted at all: 4 further deeds recorded with $0 consideration (outside the 114 priced deeds). Excluded from the charts: 15H (Sep 2025) — bought by the condominium's own board of managers — not an arm's-length sale; 37A (Nov 2021) — nominal consideration ($1) — not an arm's-length sale; 37A (Jul 2021) — nominal consideration ($1) — not an arm's-length sale; 72A (Aug 2020) — $/SF outlier ($13,791/SF vs 2019–2021 median $2,507). Rules: deeds under $250K are treated as non-market transfers; a $/SF more than 3× or under 40% of the median of deeds within a year either side (or the building median, $2,406/SF, where that window is thin) is treated as an outlier; deeds to the condominium's own board of managers are not market sales.
