Twenty-one contracts were signed last week at $4 million and above in Manhattan, one fewer than the previous week. It was a decent total when you factor in the rapid rise of Omicron cases and its impact on potential buyers’ willingness to shop.
Condos outsold co-ops, 13-6, and 2 townhouses were in the mix.
The No. 1 contract was 5C at 71 Laight Street, asking $13.1 million. The condo has 3,708 square feet including 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and an eat-in kitchen.
It features 11- to 12-foot ceilings and large windows. The apartment is in the 32-unit Sterling Mason condo with amenities that include a doorman, concierge, fitness center, playroom, bike room, and storage. The owner purchased the unit for $9,950,000 from the sponsor in December 2015.
The No. 2 contract was 46 East at 56 Leonard Street, asking $13 million. The condo has 3,371 square feet including 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. It features 12-foot ceilings and balconies off the living room and master bedroom with north, south and west city views. 56 Leonard is a 60-story, 145-unit condo designed like a glass obelisk by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. It has 17,000 square feet of amenities including a 75-foot pool, indoor/outdoor theaters, landscaped sundeck, fitness center, sauna, lounge, and a children’s playroom.
