Sixteen contracts were signed last week at $4 million and above, a total that is neither too hot nor too cold but just about right for a week heading into Labor Day.

The No. 1 contract was Unit 2 at 13 Harrison Street, asking $11.5 million, reduced from $16.995 million when it went on the market in June of 2017. 13 Harrison is a 24-foot-wide building converted into a condominium with one residential unit and one ground-floor unit with mixed-use zoning for commercial and residential. Unit 2 is the residential portion with 8,442 square feet over 5 floors. It has 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, an elevator, skylights, and terraces that total 1,600 square feet. The contract indicates a loss on sale--the owner paid $13.65 million in June of 2007.

The No. 2 slot was a tie between 2 properties—a co-op and a townhouse, both asking $9.950 million. The co-op is the 17th floor of 812 Fifth Avenue owned by billionaire hedge funder and Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry, who paid $10.6 million in May 2011. This 1-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit has spectacular views of Central Park from the living room, library, and den. The apartment is surrounded by terraces.

The other property asking $9.950 million was a brownstone at 52 West 85th Street, asking $9.950 million. It is owned by Columbia University, and was the former home of Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Sachs. The 20-foot-wide house has 6,266 square feet including 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 2 powder room, 8 wood-burning fireplaces, and a large garden.
