23 Gramercy Park South last year for $18.5 million. The buyers of the 27-foot-wide landmark were Colombian heir Andrés Santo Domingo and his wife, socialite and Vogue contributor Lauren Santo Domingo. Apparently they weren't completely satisfied with their purchase, because the house is about to undergo a serious renovation.

--New York--
Designed by Santiago Calatrava
At 251 meters (342 m spire), it is not the tallest building going up in New York, but definitely one of the must unique. It was announced last year, approved a few months ago, and is slated for construction later this year.
The most amazing thing, though, is that it will only have ten units. The first two cubes will house cultural institutions, and the next ten will hold one residence each. The building will have 55 floors.
