Private terrace at 44 Lispenard Street's penthouse, the past week's top contract, overlooking views of Tribeca (Compass)
September 18-24, 2023 was a relatively quiet time for luxury contracts in Manhattan. Olshan Realty's market report recorded only eight contracts signed with asking prices of $4 million and up, the lowest number since mid-August 2022, and noted that the total luxury contract dollar volume of $45,414,199 was the lowest total since the height of the pandemic in summer 2020.
On the bright side, it was a good week for Tribeca: The in-demand neighborhood accounts for three of the top five contracts of the past week, with a penthouse at 44 Lispenard Street, a former store and loft building, leading the charge with a $7,500,000 asking price. It was trailed closely by another penthouse, this one at the top of Passive House building 60 White Street that was asking $5,999,999 in the third-highest price. A three-bedroom unit with a private balcony at 450 Washington Street had the fifth-highest contract with an asking price of $5,970,000.
In this article:
Tribeca has experienced a residential resurgence in recent years, but the Upper East Side has long been considered the epicenter of Manhattan society. It also accounts for the other two highest-priced contracts of the past week: A four-bedroom co-op at 21 East 90th Street with Central Park vistas and an asking price of $6,195,000 had the second-highest contract. In Lenox Hill, a high-floor home at The Chatham with three bedrooms, three full baths, and a private terrace rounded out the top five with an asking price of $5,995,000.
