Expert Opinion:
this terrace has the dimensions and the views that will be a draw for gatherings, the prevailing winds at this elevation downtown might need to be considered when planning events.

$34,000,000
Expert Opinion:
three hundred square feet with 25 feet of width facing the hudson, which is the configuration that actually works for a dinner party. south-facing water views do most of the heavy lifting here. the glass railing keeps sightlines clean, though neighbors have them too. a smaller direct living terrace adds a second option for morning coffee.

650 Park Ave #PHC
$3,495,000
Expert Opinion:
glass railings, south and west light, midtown skyline filling the frame. the view is doing a lot of work here because the width is not. four feet is standing room, two chairs if you're optimistic, a proper dinner party if you're delusional. a direct living terrace with solo morning coffee potential and not much else.

Yorkville
302 East 96 #PH5
$3,495,000
Expert Opinion:
five hundred square feet of roof with city and water views, staged to look like an outdoor living room. the glass rail helps. the cooling tower next door does not. elevator access only, which means hauling drinks up feels like a small expedition. pretty from the photos, less livable in practice.
