23 Contracts Signed

It was a short, post-Memorial Day week, but it was basically the same story: 23 contracts were signed last week at $4 million and above, as once again condos out sold co-ops (14 to 7). Two townhouses were in the mix. The top 2 contracts were apartments with terraces, which typically attract buyers when the weather warms up.

The No.1 contract was 1711 at 60 Riverside Boulevard, asking $13.9 million. The 5,998- square- foot unit is a spectacular duplex facing the Hudson River, with 6 bedrooms, a library, 7.5 bathrooms, and a 1,475-square-foot terrace. It is the last of the sponsor sales at the Aldyn Condominium, which has a 40,000-square-foot amenity space that features a large gym, pool, full-sized basketball court, squash court, 2-lane bowling alley, and a rock-climbing wall.

The No. 2 contract was Apartment 19J at 300 Central Park West, asking $8.55 million, reduced from $10.5 million when it went on the market in September. A 7-room unit in the Art Deco landmark co-op known as the El Dorado, it has 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a maid’s room, eat-in kitchen, and a wraparound terrace. It is positioned on the side of the building, and has some angled views of Central Park and the reservoir. The apartment is in very good condition, and was last sold in November 2011 for $6.25 million.
