n New York City's skyscraper landscape, 520 Fifth Ave. stands tall as the highest residential address along Manhattan's iconic corridor. The building's crowning glory is Penthouse 80, a two-bedroom residence that has just listed for $9.95 million and boasts unparalleled views from its perch at nearly 900 feet above street level.

    Spanning the entire 80th floor, this penthouse offers direct elevator access to an expansive entry gallery, which leads to a corner great room with stunning exposures. The spa-like bath retreat overlooks the Empire State Building, while oversized arched windows frame breathtaking views of the city skyline.

    "The penthouse has 360-degree views because it's the full floor," says Donna Puzio, senior sales director for Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group. "You can see downtown, the Chrysler Building, both rivers, and Central Park." The unit's unique features include a custom vanity made from coppery streaked black French Saint Laurent marble in the powder room.

    Despite being a two-bedroom spread, Penthouse 80 is a generous 2,562 square feet with ceilings reaching nearly 13 feet. The primary suite boasts three exposures and a five-fixture bathroom fitted with high-end marbles. With its exceptional views and luxurious finishes, this penthouse is a rare opportunity for buyers to own the highest-elevated home along Fifth Avenue.

    520 Fifth Ave. is set to open in late 2025, but sales have been brisk, with residents expected to move in by next Christmas. As the tallest residential building on Fifth Avenue, it's poised to become an iconic landmark in Midtown Manhattan.
