Today architect Nick Potts joins AD in New York City for an in-depth walking tour of Billionaires’ Row in Midtown Manhattan. West 57th Street has been attracting Manhattan’s wealthiest residents for centuries–a former amalgamation of brownstone and gothic mansions in the 1800s, the street has evolved into a hotspot for supertall luxury skyscrapers boasting the three tallest residential buildings in the world. Join Nick as he deep-dives into the area’s rich history and explains why Billionaires’ Row could only be built on 57th Street.

This video is incredible. I'd totally watch an entire channel's worth of videos of this guy just walking around NYC and talking about the different buildings, their past, and their connection to the present.

As a New Yorker that is fascinated by both New York history and architecture....I could watch him talk about the city for literally hours on end and not get bored. Give us more!!

Just visited NYC this past weekend. I never seen such tall & skinny buildings before. This video came at a perfect time! Thanks.

I learnt something today- as I thought all the east / west streets were the same width, and not varying in their priorities. 👏🏽 thank you Nick.

Judging by the comments section, I'm in the minority, but I love the architecture of these buildings. They look sleek and futuristic, and they're great editions to the NYC skyline. What I don't love is how they're only apartments for the ludicrously, extravagantly wealthy.

Nick is awesome. Very clear commentary for a general audience, but without dumbing it down

The triplex in Central Park Tower is an incredible tour. It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. 17,000 sq feet, 45' high winding staircase, private 3 floor elevator, 1441 sq ft balcony, ginormous ballroom, commercial kitchen for ballroom, etc. It's unreal.

What the video doesn't discuss is how many problem these buildings have. They sway WAY too much, the swaying causes the elevators to shutdown frequently, 432 in particular has a lot of wind noise, and they all seem to have plumbing issues.

I'm a native new Yorker born and raised...and these new buildings are hideous!

Very tall buildings require excessive interior space allocated for elevators, pumps, and other utilities...thus these projects are only completed to satisfy vanity, not practicality.

It took me a while to understand why Architect Nick was looking down at the camera, and it was just so we could see the building 😅 But my favorite part was Architect Nick being all happy about being part of the 111 building and taking us inside the windbreak floor.

New York needs more neo art deco.

I love the contrast of the older architecture alongside the newer buildings. I love it!!

I'm curious what the actual occupancy rate is for these, since they're mostly just bought by billionaires as investments, and they don't even live there.

Would love to see the interiors of these, especially the upper floors.
