LUXURY HOMES “Today, we celebrate the official sales launch of The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria,” said Sheng Luo, Head of Overseas Business, Dajia Insurance Group. “We look forward to seeing the restoration of this remarkable landmark through completion. The restoration is a top priority for Dajia as we continue to commit significant resources and passion to this project.” “We have embraced a profound responsibility as the stewards of the Waldorf Astoria and assembled an incredible team to bring an unmatched residential product to the New York City market,” added Andrew Miller, CEO of Dajia US. “For almost 100 years, the Waldorf Astoria has been New York’s ‘Unofficial Palace,’ and was famously anointed by Conrad Hilton as ‘The Greatest of Them All.’ Now, with residences for sale for the first time, buyers from New York and all over the world can call it home.” The sophisticated residential interiors and amenities by internationally renowned designer Jean-Louis Deniot, the visionary behind some of the world’s most opulent private homes, create a truly modern experience within the building’s historic framework. Deniot has carefully considered each detail, designing his own custom creations for The Towers that include: solid custom-paneled interior doors with bespoke antique bronze hardware, custom cabinets manufactured by Molteni&C in Italy, vanities with polished marble countertops, custom forged polished nickel fixtures, and tile mosaics featuring a Waldorf Astoria-inspired pattern, done in a modern style with a nod to French Art Deco, further complimenting the building’s history.
