Report on Contracts Signed

Properties
$4 Million and Above
22 Contracts Signed
Twenty-two contracts were signed last week at $4 million and above, a tidy increase over the previous 2 weeks. But buried in the stats are a couple of figures that are truly remarkable even by Manhattan standards. Year-to-date, 1,020 contracts have been signed at $4 million and above, totaling $8 billion, a record since we started keeping track in 2007. This represents a 79% increase in the number of sales at the same point last year. Seriously. And with 3 months left in 2013, it’s a good bet that the year will end up with double the volume over 2012.
The No.1 contract was a townhouse at 45 East 74th Street, asking $30 million, reduced from $33 million when it went on the market in April 2012. This 19.5-foot wide house has 6,872 square feet, and was gut renovated after being purchased in 2008 for $10 million. The renovation is a spectacular post-modern design with 5 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, and an elevator. One of the outstanding features of the house is a basement-level spa that features a large glass mosaic pool with a waterfall, a fitness area, sauna, and wine room. The owner resurfaced the façade with limestone, and banisters in the house are crafted out of bronze and leather. This masterful renovation is worth taking a look: www.45east74thstreet.com.
The No. 2 contract was PH15W at 135 East 79th Street, asking $25 million. This is a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom unit with 5,086 square feet and 2 terraces in a new 30-unit condo that is supposed to start closings in November. Designed by architect William Sofield, and developed by the Brodsky Organization, 135 East 79th Street is one of the most outstanding new condos to rise on the Upper East Side in recent years. Modeled after prewar buildings, the façade is a handsome limestone-and-brick design with a few accents of cast iron. The interiors have tasteful high-end finishes; prices averaged over $3,200/square foot and sold quickly off of floorplans. The condo has a doorman, concierge, fitness center, resident’s lounge, and an attractive landscaped courtyard. There are only 3 units left, all penthouses, with the lowest-priced starting at $20.35 million.
