King Charles buys luxe NYC condo for $6.63M on Billionaires’ Row
King Charles has made a royal splash on Billionaires’ Row in Manhattan, shelling out for a lavish condo unit at 111 W. 57th St, according to reports in the Real Deal and Crain’s.
City finance records filed this week show this deal, for a unit in the development’s Steinway Hall portion, marks the final sale in the landmarked building.
Listed on the deed as “His Majesty the King in Right of Canada, Represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs,” the buyer snapped up unit 11A, a three-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom pad on the 11th floor for $6.63 million.
The deal closed in June, according to the city register.
Who will bask in the 3,601-square-foot apartment’s luxury, with city views and access to a swanky swimming pool and sauna? It isn’t entirely clear, as the deed mentions Canada in an apparent purchase for that Commonwealth nation, though questions remain as to whether the home will belong to the King himself. Requests for comment and clarification from Buckingham Palace were not returned.
Robert McCubbing, senior trade commissioner and director of trade and investment at the Canadian consulate in New York, signed the deed on behalf of King Charles, the records show. The Post has reached out to McCubbing for comment as well.
The unit starts with an elegant foyer featuring stone floors and a powder room off to the side. It opens out to a spacious living room with an adjacent dining room. The separate kitchen features a wet bar and is finished with Cristallo Gold quartzite countertops, custom hand-crafted cabinetry and a full suite of Gaggenau appliances, according to the previous listing.
A study adjacent to the foyer includes an ensuite bathroom.
In the primary corner bedroom is an expansive walk-in closet with a windowed bathroom clad in Italian white Venato marble, a free-standing copper soaking tub and custom bronze fixtures. The two additional bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms.
Building amenities include an 82-foot two-lane swimming pool with private cabanas, a separate sauna and treatment rooms, a double-height fitness center with a mezzanine terrace, a private dining room and chef’s catering kitchen, and a residents’ lounge with an expansive terrace.
Developers Kevin Maloney and Michael Stern inked the deal for the seller.
The Billionaires’ Row complex features 60 residences, with 14 in the now-fully sold Steinway Hall and the remaining 46 full-floor and duplex homes in the adjacent 91-story tower boasting stunning Central Park views.
