Report on Contracts Signed
NYC Residential Properties
$4 Million and Above

27 Contracts Signed

Manhattan’s luxury real estate market took its cue from the weather last week: not too hot, not too cold. Twenty-seven contracts were signed at $4 million and above. And once again, condos out sold co-ops 14-9, with 4 townhouses in the mix.

The No.1 contract—and the only property to sell above $10 million--was 16A at 551 West 21st Street, asking $16.6 million. The 4,271-square-foot unit has 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, and was sold off of floorplans. It is in a new High Line area condo designed by Foster + Partners, home of the Pritzker Prize winning architect Sir Norman Foster. The marketing materials promise high-end finishes with panoramic views of the city and the Hudson River. The entrance to this 19-story building features a gated drive-in court surrounded by a green wall and a 34-foot-tall lobby with prismatic glass. The condo opened for sale in March, and is reporting contracts signed on 12 out of 44 units, averaging $2,956/sq.ft.

The No. 2 contract was the 14th floor at 151 East 79th Street, asking $9,995,000, reduced from $10.95 million when it went on the market a year ago. The 11-room prewar co-op has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 2 working fireplaces. The unit last sold in 2010 for $7.2 million, and needs renovation.
