NYC Residential Real Estate Luxury Tracking Scoreboard
Apartments and Townhouses under Contract $4 million and above
January 30 - February 5, 2012: 15 Contracts Signed
Last week marked the best performance in the luxury market in the last 3 months. 15 properties
went to contract at $4 million and above, kicking off the prime February to June selling season. It seems that January’s stock market spike has started to resonate throughout the real estate market.
The No.1 sale was the 9th floor at 1030 Fifth Avenue, asking $35 million. The co-op went to contract in less than a month. According to our records, this property was purchased in 1995 for $5,766,750 by
George S. Blumenthal, the co-founder of Cellular Communications. The 9th floor is a rare space, with 13 rooms and 55-feet of frontage on Fifth Avenue. The apartment has 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 4 fireplaces, a library, eat-in kitchen, gym, and a maid’s room.
Another 9th floor unit scored the No. 2 spot: Apartment 9 A at 625 Park Avenue, asking $19.5 million. It went on the market in May 2011 for $20 million and was reduced by $500,000 in October. This 12-room co-op is in excellent condition, with 5,300 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a library, 4 fireplaces, and 3 maid’s rooms.
