Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II may be spending more time in New York City.
The Queen of England bought a Manhattan apartment worth almost $8 million, The Real Deal claimed.
The listing, which can be viewed on StreetEasy, described the Queen's reported newly acquired property as a 3000-square-foot unit with six rooms, three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. It has an impressive 50-foot long dining room and a majestic-looking foyer that are necessary amenities in hosting parties or meetings with other dignitaries.
The building where the unit is located was developed by Zeckendorf Development, Limited Liability Company with Eyal Ofer's Global Holdings, Inc. and was designed by Sir Norman Foster of Foster + Partners. In 1990, Foster was knighted by the Queen, noted The Real Deal. Seven years after that, he was also appointed to the Order of Merit.
The New York structure showcases modern design by having "deep bay windows unified by a horizontal grid of stainless steel tubes" surrounding the vertical structure. The building also offers several amenities namely: a private motor-court , high-security, valet parking, a well-designed courtyard, all-day all-night assistance from resident manager, lobby that comes with a waterfall and fireplace, a 75-foot swimming pool, an exercise room, a sauna, a steam room, a massage therapy room & locker rooms, climate-controlled wine cellars and even storage units available for purchase.
The Queen's rumored new unit also comes with a fitted kitchen displaying a center island, black granite countertops and white cabinets, stated Variety, citing floor plans. Her Majesty may also relax in her master suite that comes with two walk-in closets and a spacious and lavish master bathroom.
Meanwhile, in U.K., the 775-room Buckingham Palace is in dire need of renovation. The expansive building needs structural upgrades, according to USA Today, citing official statement from the English royal officials. But the queen has several other properties where she can probably stay temporarily, like the Windsor Castle near London, Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham House in Norfolk, added the site.
