Another bold-faced name among the top sales was former chairman/CEO of First Data Corp. Ric Duques. Within two days, he and his wife Dawn sold their three-bedroom home at The Pierre for $11,333,298 and purchased an Upper East Side townhouse for $11,200,000. Their apartment at The Pierre was the largest three-bedroom available in the building; but with their six grandchildren (and dogs!) in Manhattan, the couple wanted to upgrade to a larger space with room for everyone.

From April 12-18, 2021, a total of 47 luxury contracts priced $4 million and up were signed in Manhattan with an aggregate asking price sales volume of $370,218,000. This extends the streak of 30 or more deals to 11 weeks in a row, the longest since Olshan Realty started keeping track in 2006.
The market report also notes that 22 out of the 36 condo sales contracts were inked by developers for the biggest week of sponsor sales since mid-February 2018. These included contracts at 520 West 28th Street and The Benson, the latter of which was the final sponsor unit in its building. Construction on The Benson topped out in fall 2020, and a recent visit saw facade work well underway.
