There’s no question that high-end art can drive luxury sales and that many collectors design their homes around important acquisitions.

Here are five buildings with museum-worthy views.
Summit, Midtown East
This 429-unit luxury rental building is set on the East River, with floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Chrysler Building. The building’s architect, Handel Architects, designed the building with a trapezoid shape to maximize skyline views.
