If you can make it in the Big Apple, you can make it anywhere.

This penthouse space in SoHo on historic Greene Street is in a restored cast-iron building, according to Compass listing agent Scott Hustis.

The space will leave most “speechless,” he said, given the “exposed brick and Venetian plaster walls,” along with floor-to-ceiling windows.

With limited light and outdoor space available in the city, the five outdoor spaces make this luxury property stand out.

One of the more expensive properties available on the Upper East Side, this home is in a building designed by architect Rafael Viñoly, who says it has “a unique and striking personality.”

Viñoly has designed projects all over the world, including Tokyo’s International Forum and The Curve Theatre in London, according to Compass listing agent Maria Belen Avellaneda.

With seven levels, the home includes an elevator and roof deck with visually stimulating perspectives.

Avellaneda calls it “an art collector’s dream.”
