On a quiet, tree-lined block on New York City's Upper East Side sits 20 East End, a new apartment building that looks like something out of the city's Gilded Age. Designed by high-end architect Robert A.M. Stearn, 20 East End was built for New York's elite. Apartments range from around $10 million to upwards of $30 million. Stearn also designed 15 Central Park West, a now-legendary building that houses some of New York's richest residents, such as Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and actor Denzel Washington. The building has been called "the world's most powerful address" by author Michael Gross. 20 East End features design touches evoking the 1920s and 1930s, when many neighboring buildings were constructed to cater to the era's rich and powerful. "We were inspired by the buildings of the 1920s and we wanted to take that into the 21st century," developer Edward Baquero, the president of the Corigin Real Estate Group, told Business Insider. "To really appreciate this building, you have to be a quintessential New Yorker." Baquero gave Business Insider a peek inside.

The 43-unit building — which includes two duplexes and two penthouses — is inspired by 1920s-era buildings, such as 120 East End Avenue, which was built by Vincent Astor. 
Those buildings were had palatial 20-room apartments. "No one lives like that anymore," Baquero said, adding that they wanted to take the spirit of those buildings and bring it to the present. This motor court, which features heated floors, a two-tiered fountain, and valet parking, will be one of only a few in the city when it's finished. 
Residents enter this eight-sided rotunda from the street or the motor court. Every detail down to the oculus was custom designed by Stern, according to Baquero. The floor is Indiana limestone and Royal Danby marble, which was used on the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
