For the week of November 11, 2018, there were a total of 212 condo and co-op closings recorded in Manhattan amounting to a total sum of $411,143,456. The 83 condo sales came in at an average of $3,207,821 or $1,839 per ft². The 129 co-op sales came in at an average of $1,246,346. Find all recorded transactions in the table and map at the bottom of the page.
Six of the top 10 closings came within tall and slender skyscrapers. If the recent conversion of the Woolworth Building is included, eight of the top ten sales were in new construction condominiums. The Robert A.M. Stern-designed and Zeckendorf-developed 520 Park Avenue made a strong showing claiming the top two spots. Last week, The New York Post reported a $73.8 million sale in the recently-finished tower by British billionaire James Dyson. A source tells the Post the 9,138-square-foot spread is a six-bedroom penthouse with a 279-square-foot balcony and 360-degree city views. The closing has yet to be recorded by the city. Other big shots who've reportedly purchased in the building include publicist Ronn Torossian, billionaire Frank Fertitta, and Bob Diamond, former CEO of Barclays.

An iconic Park Avenue co-op – both inside and out. Originally designed in 1912 by the legendary J.E.R. Carpenter, this 5 bedroom, full-floor home with more than 4,000 square feet represents the pinnacle of Manhattan apartment living with picturesque views of both Park Avenue and the historic Park Avenue Armory, and the wall space to fulfill an art collector’s dream. Having undergone a complete renovation by famed architects Gwathmey, Siegel & Associates, the interiors of this grand apartment have been re-imagined for a decidedly modern lifestyle that seamlessly blends both large-scale entertaining and easy everyday living.
Step off the apartment’s private elevator landing into a formal gallery that serves as the heart of the apartment, leading to both the sprawling public spaces and intimate bedroom wing.
The 32-foot living room, featuring south and west exposures, flows seamlessly into a separate, yet still open, formal dining room that can comfortably accommodate more than 20! Both the living room and dining room highlight the high ceilings, grand proportions, and abundance of windows that make 635 Park one of the Avenue’s grandest residences. Completing the magnificent public areas of the apartment are a chef’s kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room, full pantry, and plenty of storage –the ideal stage for all life’s events.
The home’s private wing spans the north side of the apartment and features a library, master suite with dressing area, and 4 additional bedrooms – each with their own en-suite bathrooms. The corner bedroom is currently used as a sun-flooded office complete with three windows overlooking Park Avenue. Gwathmey deftly expanded what was the originally the apartment’s staff hall to create an additional casual entertainment area that is easily accessible from all bedrooms.
