Thirty-three contracts were signed last week in Manhattan at $4 million and above, 4 more than the previous week. Condos outsold co-ops, 19-9, with 2 condops and 3 townhouses in the mix. All things considered—Passover, Easter, a volatile stock market---it was a surprisingly strong showing for the luxury market.

The No. 1 contract was 2N at 140 Jane Street, asking $19.95 million, raised from $19.35 million when the building started marketing off floor plans in September. The condo has 4,573 square feet including 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, plus a conservatory--a room with a stone floor and sliding glass doors that open onto a Juliet balcony. A 33’ x 15’ great room with almost 10-foot ceilings faces the Hudson River. The primary suite has 2 dressing rooms. This 11-story building was designed by BKSK architects and Leroy Street Studio, and 10 of 14 units have sold with an average asking price of $5,301/sq.ft. Amenities include a doorman, porte-cochere, automated parking garage, a lounge, fitness room, lap pool, and hot tub.

The No. 2 contract was a townhouse at 280 West 11th Street, asking $13.999 million, reduced from $17.999 million when it started on the market in September 2020. This 6-story, 26-foot-wide house has 7,921 square feet and 8 fireplaces. It has been divided into 5 apartments and is on Bleecker Gardens, one of 14 houses that share a landscaped common garden. Annual real estate taxes are $100,946.
