Stephen Ross Lists Time Warner Center Pad for $75M; Moving to PH at Hudson Yards

By Arnold Weintraub

Related Chief Executive Officer Stephen Ross has reportedly listed his 80th-floor condo atop the south tower of the Time Warner Center for $75 million.

According to ny.curbed.com, Ross — real estate developer, philanthropist, sports team owner and the chairman and majority owner of The Related Companies, a global real estate development firm he founded in 1972 – “and his wife, jewelry designer Kara Ross, have called the apartment home since the Time Warner Center was completed in the early aughts. They brought on interior designer Tony Ingrao (who’s also behind the interiors for 35 Hudson Yards) to design the space, which has custom everything—flooring, moldings, cabinets (in both the kitchen and dressing room), and more.”

The apartment is something to behold, As ny.curbed.com explained, “The parallelogram-shaped apartment spans 8,500 square feet, with views of Central Park from its enormous living room and adjacent dining room. The master bedroom, which occupies one of the apartment’s corners, also has those views, along with two dressing rooms and two bathrooms. There are five additional bedrooms, although one is currently being used as a golf simulator room—in short, it’s everything you’d expect from a billionaire developer’s apartment.”

The five bedroom apartment “sits atop the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, according to the listing. When the project was completed in the early 2000s by a partnership that included Mr. Ross’s real-estate firm the Related Companies, the couple acquired the top floor for their own home, Ms. Ross said,” according to the Wall Street Journal.

The couple chose designers Tony Ingrao and Randy Kemper, who according to the Journal “have worked on condo projects like the Baccarat Hotel & Residences in Midtown, to design the property. The result is modern, with African bubinga wood floors and an entryway featuring various types of inlaid stone, Ms. Ross said. There is a large dining room with marble floors, a wood-paneled den with a fireplace, a library with upholstered walls and a 42-foot-long living room with floor-to-ceiling windows. The master suite has two marble bathrooms and two dressing rooms. Another bedroom is used as a gym; another holds a golf simulator.”

“Living above Central Park like this feels like you’re actually living in the park,” Kara Ross told Architectural Digest in 2015. “It’s as if you’re in a painting that’s always changing, from green to yellow to red to gray and slowly back to green again. It has a kind of power that most art can only dream about.”
