The Arconia – Only Murders in the Building

The 13-story building was originally constructed in a Beaux Arts style back in 1908 by architect H. Hobart Weekes of Hiss and Weekes. Since then, the building received the status of New York City landmark in 1966 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places 14 years later

The 13-storey structure now has 211 units, half of which are rentals and the other half are condominiums priced from USD 3.6 million to more than USD 13 million. There are multiple apartments for sale in the famous building, ranging in price from $4.15 million to $8.35 million and one rental of a 12 (yes, 12!!) bedroom apartment is available for $30,000 a month.
