Fifteen Central Park West is the New Gilded Age address of a new
generation of moguls enjoying the costliest real estate in an enclave of
international wealth from the worlds of finance, technology,
information, and entertainment. Gross, chronicler of the wealthy in 740
Park (2005) and Unreal Estate (2011), looks beyond the list of notable
tenants (Sting, Denzel Washington, top executives from Goldman Sachs,
Google, and Yahoo) to explore the changes in the architectural and
social landscape of elite Manhattan. Drawing on interviews with real-estate titans and power brokers, Gross
provides a deliciously detailed and completely engaging look at how the
0.1 percent live in one building.--Booklist
