Elie Tahari's Frankenpenthouse at 860 Fifth Is for Sale
Briefly

Elie Tahari's penthouse at 860 Fifth Avenue is listed for $22 million but remains a gutted 5,000 sq. ft. space. After buying in 1979, Tahari faced ongoing battles with the co-op board regarding renovation and expansion. He previously moved to a different apartment after deciding not to pursue his original vision for the penthouse, which included an expansive greenhouse-style design. The current listing showcases significant potential for luxury living, with full-floor space, air rights, and approved renovation plans in place.
At first glance, the listing for the penthouse atop 860 Fifth shows a stunning modern greenhouse - glass walls and ceilings with sleek finishes and skyline views.
