Kendall (played by Jeremy Strong) lives in a three-story penthouse atop a tower on North 72nd Street, one of the tallest buildings on the Upper East Side. The three-story, five-bedroom apartment—and boasts views of the Manhattan skyline—is among the rarest in New York, and is considered one of the world’s best homes on the market for $29 million.
The Grammy Award-winning series is primarily filmed around New York – with rival factions of the main family living in lavish penthouses on either side of Central Park. In this case, as mentioned, Kendall lives in the penthouse of the chic apartment from the show, which embodies the latest trend of “quiet luxury.”

Inspired by shows like HBO’s Succession, quiet luxury is never boring. Indeed, just like this penthouse apartment, the latest trend exudes understated elegance and timeless appeal. It’s a movement that prioritizes simplicity and refinement, creating cool, serene spaces that exude a sense of refinement without being ostentatious.
This luxurious yet understated home combines lavish gold trim with modern décor ideas – including bright white walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a stunning spiral staircase. Other notable features include a private elevator with glass walls, gilded chandeliers, and a naturally wet bar.

The building was developed and designed by Joe McMillan DDG – a firm that initially focused on buying distressed real estate – but has since developed 2.5 million square feet of real estate worth $2.5 billion. They renovated the apartment in 2019 before it became an HBO wallpaper.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the home was designed for showing off—and stunningly set up for entertaining, dining, and parties. The open plan floor plan connects the living room, dining room and great room with the previously mentioned wet bar and custom designed Molteni & C Dada. (Opens in a new tab) kitchen.
