When The Benson was under construction in 2020, luxury condominiums were a somewhat rare offering in its stretch of the Upper East Side. Sponsor listings in the building regularly ranked among Manhattan's top sales, and it sold out quickly. A few short years later, The Benson is back on top, albeit in a more crowded market and not at such dizzying heights: $29,399,500 might have once been the closing price for a single unit, but this figure represents the total of two separate five-bedroom apartments with fireplaces and high-end finishes and appliances.
The Benson (Brown Harris Stevens for Naftali Group)
Full-floor residences #10 and #11 were delivered as a duplex with a staircase connecting both levels in March 2022 with a closing price of $27,950,000. But a few months later, the owners (identified only as Leftshoe LLC) changed their minds and listed the two floors for $33.5 million, as well as the option to purchase separately for $17.5 million each. Buyers appear to have chosen the latter: Residence #11 had the week's top sale with a closing price of $14,999,500, and Residence #10 was not far behind at $14,400,000.
Manhattan's top sale outside The Benson and third-highest overall took place at ONE11 Residences, where Penthouse A closed for $13,850,000, or $3.1 million below the asking price when it entered contract in early 2024. The buyer, identified only through a trust, will enjoy 3,042 interior square feet, a combined total of 2,642 square feet of private outdoor space, and access to the amenities and services of Thompson Central Park.
The bargain prices (for Billionaires' Row) and the sexy marketing at ONE11 Residences seem to have paid off.
