You have to respect Moise Emquies. Trained as a lawyer, Mr. Emiques felt a higher calling. He set out to design the perfect cotton fabric from which he could produce the perfect T-shirt, and by George he did just that. As the founder of clothing brand Splendid, Mr. Emiques has cornered the market for upscale cotton staples from coast to coast.

Situated in “one of the West Village’s most prestigious buildings,” the main living room of this apartment might make it worth the $5.495 million. The corner room has floor-to-ceiling windows that provide views of the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty.
