Inside a $16 Million Full-Floor Baccarat Apartment
A full-floor residence in Midtown's crystal-branded tower, across the street from MoMA, hits the market at $16 million.
In brief
A full-floor residence in Midtown's crystal-branded tower, across the street from MoMA, hits the market at $16 million. Baccarat's residences sell the same thing the hotel does: a French luxury house's name attached to a full floor of Midtown, steps from MoMA. Originally reported by Robb Report.
Sixteen million, one floor
Unit 42A at New York's Baccarat Residences is listed at $16 million, and it takes up an entire floor of the tower.
Right across from MoMA
The building sits opposite Edward Durell Stone's landmark MoMA structure in Midtown Manhattan, one of the most visited corners of the city.

SOM drew the building
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the Baccarat Hotel and Residences, giving the crystal brand a glass tower to match its name.
A crystal house, not a developer
Baccarat was founded under King Louis XV, and the building is built to carry that identity rather than a builder's.
“embodies the luxury crystal brand founded by King Louis XV”
Hotel life, full time
The address works for a two-night stay or year-round living, so residents get hotel service without checking out.
“lavish accommodations suited to both a short trip and year-round living”
Famous for the bar too
The Baccarat is one of New York's glamour destinations for a French 75, and that scene comes with the apartment.

The takeaway
Baccarat's residences sell the same thing the hotel does: a French luxury house's name attached to a full floor of Midtown, steps from MoMA.
