This is the view out my west windows in the morning. I am so excited that they have rehabbed this gorgeous building and clock tower. This was originally going to be residential lofts called The Tailor, I am not sure what the plans are now but I am loving the Clock Tower!

This home is 5200 Sq. Ft. of pure luxury. It features panoramic views from every room and from the 46th floor these are some amazing views! The gourmet kitchen is to die for with custom cabinets, Sub-Zero, Meile, Wolfe etc. and it’s own private terrace. The master suite is truly an oasis with a huge master bath featuring true Italian marble and spa-bath. The master closet is as big as most bedrooms and features his and her closets with a central dressing area. $4,350,000.

I only had my camera phone with me so I am sorry I do not have better pictures.
