For the last nine years, Esquire has attempted to create a spot whereevery man would want to live.
The magazine works with vendors, designers, clothing companies,and more to outfit their "Ultimate Bachelors Pad."
In the past, they have alternated every year between New York andLos Angeles.
This October, Esquire -- with the help of "Selling New York" -- pickeda new spot: Brooklyn.
"I think if you would have asked us a few years ago, I think we wouldhave said we will remain on the island of Manhattan, but this place isreally that unique," Jack Essig, SVP, publishing director, and chief revenue officer, told us on Wednesday afternoon whenwe spoke to him in the apartment's massive open first floor.
"This place" is the 6,800-square-foot triplex "Clocktower" apartment in DUMBO. The space features an incredible greatroom, a piano, DJ equipment, the most comfortable couches ever, and four, 14-foot clocks. And that's just the first floor.
Nobody actually lives in the apartment. Esquire just uses it to host parties and raise money for charities throughfundraisers. (They have donated almost $9 million.)
It's a shame, because as we got to see the place is seriously awesome.
Clocks and panthers and bridges, oh my.

Could have been a nice place if they hadn't butchered the decorating so badly.
Would a guy want to live there? Maybe.
Would a man? Not a chance.

Looks like some Nancy boys dream. It would probably be cold in the winter and those hardwood floors would be ice! They never thought ofrugs? No sauna? No huge bed for two women and the guy????

I thought Esquire was deeply liberal, how can they show this type of luxury when their brothers are outside protesting. Enough with the peoplewho could afford such a place, everyone should live in equal soviet style apartments, if you refuse off to the re education camp with you!
