16 Contracts Signed

If you were waiting for September to perk up the typically sluggish August performance of the Manhattan luxury real estate market...well, you will have to wait a little longer. Maybe potential buyers were too busy planning for the Labor Day weekend. Whatever the reason, only 16 contracts were signed last week at $4 million and above.

The No. 1 contract was a townhouse at 38 West 87th Street, asking $18 million. This 20-foot, 5-story Renaissance revival brownstone has 8,400 square feet, and started on the market in February 2014 while still being renovated. It was purchased for $5,150,000 in December 2011 and then gut renovated, transforming a multi-family house into a single-family mansion with 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, 3 terraces, a garden, 4 fireplaces, and an elevator.

The No. 2 contract was Apartment 3304 at 795 Fifth Avenue, asking $16.9 million, reduced from $18.25 million when it started on the market in April 2014. This 6-room co-op in the Pierre Hotel has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and 46-feet of frontage on Central Park. The co-op has access to hotel amenities including a concierge, maid service, and valet parking.
