Manhattan’s legendary “The Pierre” now has room with a view, ready and waiting for its next lucky resident. Built in 1930, The Schultze and Weaver designed Pierre is one of New York City’s defining Art Deco masterpieces along with the famed Waldorf Astoria and the Park Lane Hotel.
The Pierre was transformed from solely hotel use into a mixed use co-op and hotel in 1959, which brings us to the subject of Apartment 3304. The 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath co-op that recently hit the market at $14.95 million USD is owned by philanthropist and former chairman/CEO of First Data, Corp Ric Duques and his wife Dawn. The Duques transformed their 3,000 square-foot residence during a recent renovation in which the couple expanded the kitchen, refinished floors, and enlarged closets. Particular highlights of the Fifth Avenue facing home include direct views of Central Park, a corner master suite, formal dinning room, and two guest bedrooms currently configured as a library and reception room.
With discreet access via a semi-private elevator landing, guests enter Apartment 3304 through a “a gracious vestibule that opens to a marble gallery and corner living room with oversized windows.” In addition to the residence’s unobstructed Central Park vistas, the Hudson River, George Washington Bridge and Midtown Manhattan are all within sight.
Boasting the most spectacular of 5 star hotel services, residents of the Pierre enjoy “full access to all hotel services, including 24-hour concierge, twice-daily maid service, spa and fitness center, conference room, business center and beauty salon.” Room service is also available from the hotel’s dinning facilities, which include Perrine, a new French/American restaurant, along with Two E Bar/Lounge and the famed Rotunda.
