New York City real estate is heading to new heights, but not in terms of the number of storys in a building but rather the price tag.

Manhattan's most expensive condo is on the market for $180 million - almost double the city's current most expensive property - a $100.5 million home bought by billionaire Michael Dell at luxury condo One57 in 2014.

This latest offering is a five story penthouse of The Crown building right across the street from Trump Tower.

If it sells, it will be the priciest condo sale the city has ever had and somebody's second home.
