NEW YORK – HBO’s critically acclaimed series Succession follows the lives of the Roy family, heirs to a global media and entertainment conglomerate known as Waystar Royco, as they squabble for dominance in the wake of their father’s declining health. Awarded both the Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in 2020 and 2022, the four-season show earned 24 additional Emmy awards, including Outstanding Lead Actor for Jeremy Strong, who plays Kendall Roy. The series is filmed mostly in New York, where the rival factions of the lead family live in opulent penthouses on either side of Central Park. Kendall Roy’s TV home is a three-level penthouse at the top of the tallest tower north of 72nd Street. The five-bedroom, 5,500-square-foot abode has been listed for sale at $29 million.
Overlooking Central Park, the apartment features a luxe but minimalist contemporary aesthetic, with bright white walls, lots of glass and gold trim. A stunning spiral staircase connects the three levels, which feature soaring 13-foot ceilings. A private, glass-walled elevator offers another option for traversing the unique and beautiful space. A total of 3,500 additional square feet of outdoor space include a fabulous rooftop terrace with a gas fireplace, outdoor seating and spectacular city and park views, plus multiple smaller terraces. Carefully chosen design elements include gilded chandeliers and natural brass fixtures. The building was developed and designed by Joe McMillan’s DDG in 2019.
