The largest apartment in New York City just hit the market for nearly $40 million.

Luxury real estate YouTuber Erik Van Conover takes viewers through the crown penthouse at 100 Barclay Street in Tribeca, a duplex listed for $39,950,000 and marketed as the single largest continuous apartment in the city. Built inside Ralph Walker’s 1927 Art Deco masterpiece, originally known as the Barclay-Vesey Building, the residence occupies the top of a tower that Magnum Real Estate Group and CIM Group converted from office space into condominiums. Van Conover walks the roughly 14,539-square-foot spread with listing broker Shaun Osher, founder and CEO of CORE.

• The penthouse spans about 14,539 square feet across 10 rooms, including 5 bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms, at an asking price of $39,950,000.
• The tower was designed by Ralph Walker and built in 1927 as the Barclay-Vesey Building before Magnum Real Estate Group and CIM Group redeveloped it into residences.
• Listing broker Shaun Osher, founder and CEO of CORE, guides the tour alongside Erik Van Conover.

Inside the Art Deco Shell

What separates 100 Barclay from the glass towers going up around it is the building itself. Walker’s original Barclay-Vesey design gives the penthouse 21-foot-tall ceilings and 20-foot arched Art Deco windows that flood the upper floor with light and frame the skyline like stained glass. Van Conover lingers on the living room, which alone runs past 3,000 square feet and is anchored by a custom staircase connecting the duplex’s two levels.

It’s a different kind of showpiece than the ultra-modern towers Van Conover typically covers on his channel — the kind of build that a $65,000,000 Beverly Hills mega mansion chases with glass and steel, this one chases with a 92-year-old landmark shell.

A Kitchen Built for Entertaining

The chef’s kitchen tops 1,000 square feet on its own, backed by a butler’s pantry for staging large events. Just off it sits a lounge with a wet bar and wine storage built to hold up to 630 bottles — a detail Osher points out as one of the unit’s most requested amenities among prospective buyers touring the space.

Marketed as the largest continuous penthouse apartment in New York City, the duplex spans roughly 14,539 square feet with room for 630 bottles of wine.

The View That Sells the Listing

At the top of the Barclay-Vesey tower, the penthouse gets unobstructed 360-degree views that take in the Hudson River, the Statue of Liberty, and the full sweep of the Manhattan skyline. With 5 bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms spread across the duplex, Osher frames the unit less as a single apartment and more as a full-floor estate stacked on top of a working Tribeca tower — a scale comparable to what Van Conover found touring an 8-level Manhattan townhouse elsewhere in the borough.

Tribeca Outperforms Midtown Market

The address matters here as much as the square footage. Tribeca’s converted pre-war towers have become a magnet for buyers who want Art Deco bones with modern systems, and 100 Barclay’s residential conversion — turning a former telephone company headquarters into condos — is one of the neighborhood’s marquee examples. It’s the same appetite for outsized, amenity-loaded spaces that shows up in listings like backyard-waterpark mansions elsewhere in the country, just rebuilt vertically inside a landmark shell.

At $39,950,000, the 100 Barclay crown penthouse remains one of the largest single listings Van Conover has toured on his channel, and Osher’s team at CORE has continued to market it as the benchmark for sheer size in Manhattan’s condo market — a title that comes down to one number: 14,539 square feet under one roof, all the way up.
