Fifteen contracts were signed last week in Manhattan at $4 million and above, two fewer than the previous week. Condos tied co-ops, 7-7, and 1 townhouse was in the mix. The volume was a lowly $114,539,000 with only 1 property cracking $10 million. It’s been 5 weeks since Manhattan has registered 20 or more weekly contracts signed at $4 million and above.
Stat Geek Alert: The last time co-ops and condos tied
was the week of December 14-20, 2020, when condos and co-ops also posted a 7-7 tie.
The No. 1 contract was PHA at 10 Riverside Boulevard (a.k.a. One Waterline Square), asking $27 million. The condo has 6,566 square feet including 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and spectacular views of the Hudson River and the city. A 50-foot living room with a fireplace opens onto a partially enclosed, 986-square-foot terrace that functions like a cabana. It also has a library, a master with a huge dressing room, and a large kitchen that opens onto a family room.
PHA is the most expensive unit to go to contract in the Waterline Square complex, one of three new buildings on a 5-acre parcel on Riverside between 59th and 61st Street. One Waterline has 56 condos on 37 floors, plus 216 rentals; it was designed by Pritzker-prize winning architect Richard Meier. Owners have access to a robust amenity package, including a large fitness center with a gym, an indoor tennis court, a 25-meter lap pool with an adjacent children’s pool and spa pool, full-court basketball, squash court, indoor soccer field, rock climbing wall, golf simulator, children’s room, game room, music and recording studio, art studio, screening room, dog playroom, and storage.
The No. 2 contract was 19C at 930 Fifth Avenue, asking $9.25 million, reduced from $11.5 million when it was listed in September 2021; it later cycled through 2 brokerage firms. The co-op has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus 2 terraces. The master bedroom faces Central Park as does the living room with a fireplace and a terrace. The dining room opens onto a 28-foot terrace with an awning and faces south. Amenities include a doorman, a gym, and bike room. The co-op board allows 33% financing but no pets. The seller paid $7.5 million for the unit in 2010.
