Penthouse 80: The Highest Residence on Fifth Avenue Hits the Market

As the second-tallest structure on Fifth Avenue, surpassed only by the Empire State Building, 520 Fifth Avenue redefines grandeur in the city that never sleeps. Rabina is the renowned developer behind this architectural feat, celebrated for thoughtfully implementing innovative design elements and upscale features.

Every detail of Penthouse 80 exudes timeless elegance, crafted by acclaimed designers Charles & Co., whose prestigious clientele includes luminaries such as George and Amal Clooney. Spanning 2,562 square feet, this full-floor residence encompasses two generously proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a powder room, all accessible via private elevator entry.

Upon entering, a striking 31-foot gallery leads to the corner great room, bathed in natural light from southern and eastern exposures. Ceilings nearing 13 feet and dramatic arched windows frame sweeping vistas of Manhattan, creating a sanctuary in the sky. Wide-plank white oak floors add warmth, while a four-pipe HVAC system ensures year-round comfort.

The primary suite offers the ultimate retreat, with triple exposure views and a spa-like ensuite. The windowed five-fixture bath, adorned with Calacatta Gold Lincoln and Verde Laguna marble, includes a freestanding Waterworks cast iron bathtub, a rain shower, and polished nickel fixtures, while the spacious walk-in closet ensures ample storage. 

The secondary bedroom includes an ensuite bath with Carrara marble tiles and polished nickel fixtures. A Saint Laurent marble vanity enhances the powder room, located off the entry gallery, elevating the residence’s sense of refinement. 

Also, residents of Penthouse 80 will enjoy exclusive access to the Penthouse 88 Amenity Suite, a collection of impeccably designed spaces for every mood and occasion. The journey begins in the Solarium, a three-sided glass-enclosed haven with expansive city views, ample seating, and a skylight. The Reading Room and Lounge invite relaxation with a warm marble fireplace and plush furnishings—perfect for quiet afternoons immersed in a book or thoughtful contemplation. For hosting, the Private Dining Room provides an elegant setting with its mural wall coverings, while the Game Room features a vintage billiards table and stylish decor, setting the tone for leisure and entertainment.
