15 Central Park West, #36D, an artist's masterpiece and the past week's top contract (Compass)
From May 8-14, 2023, the top contract signed in Manhattan took place at the Robert A.M. Stern-designed 15 Central Park West, where Residence #36D entered contract with an asking price of $26,500,000, a small reduction from when it was listed for $28 million in October 2022. The buyer has not been identified, but the family of prolific political cartoonist Ranan Lurie listed the home following his death in June 2022.
In a statement to Crain's New York Business, Mr. Lurie's daughter and the apartment's listing agent, Danielle Lurie of Compass, said, "My father replaced all the walls in the east wing of the home with glass so that you essentially step into Central Park immediately upon entering." The publication also notes that Mr. Lurie was the only owner of the apartment, having bought it from the sponsor for $11.5 million in 2008.

15 Central Park West is a Billionaires' Row mainstay, but a newcomer in the West Village took the Manhattan market by storm last week: Contracts for eight units, or exactly one third of the newly created condos, were recorded at The Keller, the residential conversion of the Keller Hotel at 150 Barrow Street that recently launched sales, coming to a total of $55,125,000. Among them was Penthouse A, a four-bedroom duplex with a massive private terrace that entered contract with a $17,500,000 ask in the second-highest contract of the past week. Residence #5A, a four-bedroom unit a few floors below, had the week's fifth-highest contract with a $9,995,000 asking price.

The top co-op contract and fourth-highest overall took place at 101 Central Park West, where the longtime home of former ABC World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings entered contract asking $10,450,000. The contract comes a little over a month after Mr. Jennings' widow, Kaycee Freed Jennings, put it on the market. Ms. Jennings told The Wall Street Journal that she and Mr. Jennings hosted a number of book parties and benefits in their beautifully renovated apartment, and that its views of Central Park made it hard to part ways with it. It is in a prime Upper West Side location a short distance from the ABC News studio and Peter Jennings Way.
15 Central Park West, #36D (Compass)
From the Listing:
The rarely-available, highly-coveted D line unfolds over nearly 3,200 square feet, spanning the northern edge of the 15 Central Park West tower from east to west. To enhance the wonder of panoramic views, the original owners of 36D made a unique design elevation, replacing the interior walls of the great wing with panels of glass and making this unit the only D line that opens directly into breathtaking views of the whole of Central Park. Framed by the glinting towers of Billionaire’s Row, the grand cultural institutions of 5th Avenue, and the far northern reaches of the Central Park Reservoir and Ramble, there’s both a restful sense of remove and a unique integration with the city skyline.
Throughout the home, this balance repeats: grandeur and intimacy, excitement and calm. Distinct perspectives from the living wing gallery, study, great room, dining room, and kitchen - each with its own view of Central Park - are framed by crown moldings and colonnades, giving old world shape to modern elegance. The expansion of the gallery hall and the arresting glasswork renders every living space radiant. With 11’ ceilings and graceful proportions, a sense of composition pervades. The west wing comprises three separate bedrooms with en suite baths, all with romantic views west across Lincoln Center to the shimmering expanse of the Hudson River.
