Dyson’s new pad is one of 35 residences in the limestone tower located at East 60th Street, each unit decked out with state-of-the-art kitchens, 11-foot ceilings, white oak floors and, of course, Dyson appliances. 

The building comes with a gym and a rooftop pool. 

The inventor – who is worth an estimated $5.2billion – will soon be neighbors with Bob Diamond, ex-CEO of Barclays, UFC billionaire Frank Fertitta and publicist Ronn Torossian. 

A 24th-floor unit recently sold for a slightly less exuberant $24million along with a 30th-floor unit that went for $25.8million.  

‘It doesn’t get any better,’ developer Arthur Zeckendorf told the New York Post. ‘We have more than exceeded our expectations.’
