NYC Residential Real Estate Luxury Tracking Scoreboard
Apartments and Townhouses under Contract $4 million and above
October 31-November 6, 2011: 15 Contracts Signed
Fifteen contracts were signed last week, the third straight week of healthy sales. It was the best stretch since June, even though half of the units sold below $5 million.
The No. 1 contract was reported in the NY Post but not listed in the brokers’ databases, so it cannot be confirmed: a 17th floor apartment at 740 Park Avenue, asking $27 million for 10 rooms. The reported buyer was William Zeckendorf, who has had quite a run in the luxury market. Zeckendorf was the developer of 15 Central Park West, the most expensive condo in New York and the home of his penthouse that he sold for $40 million last year. He then bought the 11th floor at 927 Fifth Avenue for $29.1 million and sold it 9 months later for $34.6 million. 740 Park is one of the all-time status buildings and was chronicled in a book by Michael Gross. It was the childhood residence of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; current residents include David Koch, Ron Lauder, Vera Wang, and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman.
The top confirmed sale of the week was Apartment 10BC, asking $8.6 million, in the new Laureate Condominium at 2150 Broadway. The unit has 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and 4,221 square feet.
