Sure there are luxury buildings with a 24-hour doorman, on-site concierge, and full-service spa. But only one comes with a Volvo specially modified for extra legroom and piloted by a chauffeur.
Moinian Group is collaborating with Volvo to launch luxury house car service at Sky, a 1,175-unit residential tower in Manhattan’s Midtown West neighborhood. But not just any of the thousands of the residents can access this chauffeured-Volvo service. Only residents living in one of the 83 penthouse units at the top of the building get a ride in the roomy limited-edition XC90.
Residents in the penthouse units, which start at $4,000 for a studio and reach close to $7,000 a month for a two-bedroom, 2-bath apartment, can be driven around in a limited-edition XC90 with a a black exterior and interior that has been modified from the standard 7-seater to a more spacious 4-seater. Because nothing says luxury like a lot of legroom.
