450 Washington Street, #610 (The Corcoran Group)
For a long time, the Upper East Side and Upper West Side were considered to be the home of Manhattan society. These neighborhoods continue to command high prices and attract bold-faced names. However, in the last week of June 2023, a number of executives and artists' downtown apartments were among the city's most notable transactions.

The Whitman, #3 (The Corcoran Group)
When the NoMad condo of hedge fund executive John Silvetz and his wife, model Wilda Deon Silvetz, entered contract with an asking price of $11,995,000 in March 2023, it tied with another listing for the fourth-highest contract of the week. But for the week ending June 30, 2023, it closed in the sixth-highest sale of the week and the top downtown sale outside 150 Charles Street. While it ultimately closed for less than the asking price, the couple nevertheless makes a profit on it, having bought it for exactly $10 million in summer 2013.

Appropriately enough, his recently sold Tribeca pied-a-terre came with a private garage. It has been on and off the market for years and ultimately closed for below the asking price, but public records show that he has made quite a profit on it, having purchased it for $1.49 million in 2010.
