The San Remo is a luxury, 27-floor, co-operative apartment building in New York City located between 74th and 75th streets. Lots of celebs live there.

The 27th floor (top floor) of the north tower has been combined into a portion of the tower above it (formerly mechanical space for the building itself), creating a unique duplex unit. Steve Jobs owned this unit and oversaw the renovation with architect I.M. Pei, but Jobs never lived there. This unit was purchased by Bono from Jobs for $15 million.
