Arvin Haddad takes on Trump Tower's penthouse, dissecting it with surgical precision for potential buyers. The tower, a relic from 1970, stands tall at 583 ft, gazing imperiously over Columbus Circle. While architects of the past aimed for futuristic designs, time has rendered this one a dated fossil. Arvin contrasts this with the eternal charm of structures like 220 South, standing the test of time like a fine wine.
Unit 47 BC, a behemoth of an apartment, underwent a lavish 3-year renovation only to remain untouched by human habitation. Arvin's eagle eye spots design faux pas like low ceilings and misplaced furniture, urging viewers to pay attention. The east-facing view of Central Park pales in comparison to the lavish vistas of Billionaires' Row, lacking the depth and allure of its upscale neighbors.
The kitchen, adorned with Italian marble, features a dining table awkwardly placed, a misstep in the grand design. Arvin stresses the importance of functional spaces in high-end properties, where every nook and cranny should exude luxury and purpose. The family room, a cozy retreat with custom-built couches and elegant marble accents, offers a glimpse into opulent living in the heart of the city. The guest bedrooms, boasting breathtaking views and opulent en suite bathrooms, cater to the discerning tastes of potential buyers seeking a slice of luxury living.
