In this article:
35 Hudson Yards is the tallest residential building in the Hudson Yards mega-development, and it also had the highest sale of the past week: Residence #8501, a five-bedroom condo on a high floor, closed for $15,904,250. The price of this sponsor unit represents a small reduction from the last listed price of $16,595,000 and was recorded a few weeks after other sponsor units had their prices reduced to draw new attention and a wider range of buyers. Public records identify the buyer of this unit as Arthur Rabin.
At the Jean Nouvel-designed 53W53, the four-bedroom Residence #48A sold for $12,500,000. The price represents an 18% reduction from the last listed price of $15,250,000, but was nevertheless good enough for the second-highest residential sale. This, too, was a sponsor unit, and the buyer conducted the transaction through an investment group.
