NYC Residential Real Estate Luxury Tracking Scoreboard
Apartments and Townhouses under Contract $4 million and above
October 10-16, 2011: 8 Contracts Signed
There were 8 contracts signed last week including 5 townhouses/buildings.
The No. 1 sale of the week was a building asking $18 million at 177 Franklin Street. Incredibly, it just closed on June 9, 2011, for $9 million. You read that right! The building went back on the market two weeks later, June 23, asking $18 million after the new owner completed unfinished construction and cleared mechanic’s liens, according to The Real Deal. The building, which is 6-stories and has 12,100 square feet, was sold in June by a church, Glad Tidings Tabernacle, to a company affiliated with architect/ developer Michael Kirchmann, who quickly put the building back on the market and looks like he will make handsome profit.
The No.2 sale of the week was 1703-1705 Second Avenue, asking $9.5 million, a property that for almost 50 years housed the famous Elaine’s restaurant, owned by Elaine Kaufman, who passed away last December . The twin 25-foot wide buildings went on the market in May when the restaurant closed. Combined, the property has 14,850 square feet along Second Avenue between 88th & 89th Streets. There are 16 residential units above the restaurant.
