A model apartment is furnished inside Madison Square Park Tower at 45 East 22nd Street in the Flatiron District of New York, U.S., on Thursday, May 18, 2017. Madison Square Park Tower is one of several slender high-rise residential towers in Manhattan that rely on new engineering advancements to achieve their height, in this case 777 feet. The tower employs a TMD - a tuned mass damper - which is a 1.2 million pound metal weight suspended from wires near the top of the building designed to sway in the direction opposite of the way winds are pushing it.

The for-rent advertisement on East 75th Street in Manhattan, just a half-block from Central Park, boasts natural light, a marble bathroom, and a granite kitchen. It sounds lovely, a gem of the Upper East Side – perhaps even “triple mint,” as some real estate ads breathlessly proclaim. 

It better be, given that the price for the apartment is US$4,095 (RM17,549) a month.

Just RM5 per month.
