It’s all about the superlatives when it comes to describing this high-rolling Central Park penthouse: The biggest unit located atop the world’s tallest residential building is this week’s most popular listing on Realtor.com®.

Located 1,416 feet above New York City in Central Park Tower on Billionaires Row, the $250 million triplex in the sky could become “the country’s highest-ever home sale price,” according to the Wall Street Journal. That’s if developer Gary Barnett gets anywhere near the $14,249 per square foot asking price.

Other real estate that grabbed attention this week include a Spanish-style castle in New Mexico, a stone cottage in Minnesota, and an island mansion in Florida that Cher once called home.
