Twenty-five contracts were signed last week at $4 million and above, a normal total for the last week in April. For example, 25 contracts were also signed last year in the same time period, 27 in 2017, and 28 in 2016. And it’s also interesting to note that the top 2 sales last week were Greenwich Village condo penthouses.

The penthouse has been on and off the market since September, and is owned by fashion mogul Andrew Rosen, who paid $13,084,513 in September 2012 for a new unit that he subsequently renovated. The apartment has 3,875 square feet and features a lushly landscaped wraparound terrace. It has 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a large living room with a fireplace, dining room, den, and eat-in kitchen. The master suite has a sitting room, and the second bedroom functions as a gym. The penthouse has use of the neighboring Greenwich Lane condo’s amenities, which include a concierge, doorman, parking, fitness center, a 25-meter swimming pool, golf simulator, garden, residents’ lounge, and children’s playroom.
