Billionaires’ Row: Tycoons, High Rollers, and the Epic Race to Build the World’s Most Exclusive Skyscrapers

byKatherine Clarke

Real-estate reporter Katherine Clarke tells the inside story of Manhattan's supertall luxury towers, where developers raced to build apartments for the world's wealthiest buyers. Billionaires, architects, brokers, contractors, financiers, and neighbors shape projects defined by engineering ambition, aggressive deals, secrecy, lawsuits, and astonishing prices. The book follows the transformation of the skyline around 57th Street and the global money seeking a stable address there. Clarke presents Billionaires' Row as both business drama and symbol of urban inequality, showing how private wealth can remake shared space far above the city below.
