Designed from envelope to interiors by ODA, Era features a striking cantilever design that is progressive with a purpose: growing as it ascends to allow for more open views, expansive common spaces, and generously sized residences, most with at least two exposures. Once complete, Era will offer 52 residences consisting of two- to five-bedroom homes, with select homes offering private outdoor terraces. Penthouse A, a five-bedroom residence with an asking price of $13.5 million, is in contract for a record-breaking price per-square-foot. Penthouse A boasts more than 3,500 square feet of interior space and more than 1,000 square feet of private outdoor space. The contract marks the highest price per-square-foot ever achieved for a condo above 88th Street in Manhattan.
