From July 18-25, a total of 451 free-market Manhattan condo, co-op, and condop sales were recorded with an aggregate total of $909,594,481.

A total of 211 recorded condo deals amounted to $574.8 million in deals, with the median sales price coming to $1.588 million, or $1,518 per square foot. 229 co-op deals were recorded at a median price of $920K.

The past week was an impressive one for downtown neighborhoods. A short walk from Google's incoming Hudson Square outpost, the nearby Toll Brothers condo 77 Charlton Street racked up $23 million in closings across 12 sales over the past week. The two-wing building's residential sellout is $326.6 million, and it has racked up $66.3 million in sales so far. Remaining availabilities start at $1.07 million.
A little further uptown, buyers have taken notice of the impressive architecture in West Chelsea. An LLC purchased two adjacent 17th-floor condos at the Foster + Partners-designed 551W21 for a total of $23 million. A few blocks north, a penthouse at Zaha Hadid's 520 West 28th Street closed for $10,937,500. However, another downtown sale on the West Side overshadows all these: A five-bedroom unit at The Abingdon, a prewar condo conversion in the West Village, closed for $33.5 million.

Aman New York Residences / Crown Building on Billionaire's Row where two units were signed asking a total of $64.5M
Meanwhile, from July 19-25, 2021, a total of 39 luxury contracts were signed in Manhattan with a total weekly asking price sales volume of $376,532,990. This is six more contracts than last week, and Olshan Realty's market report attributes the high volume to a combination of low interest rates and a stock market that registered new closing highs on July 24.
Shortly after CityRealty's top sales and contract article appeared online last Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported that in the past few weeks, two three-bedroom apartments at Aman New York Residences entered contract for their full asking price - $34.5 million for an 18th-floor unit with a massive private terrace and private infinity pool, and $30 million for a 19th-floor unit. The buyers were identified only as frequent guests of Aman properties around the world, and their purchases bring the 22-unit building to over 50% sold. Closings are expected to commence by the end of the year.

40 East End Avenue via Corcoran
The top contract recorded by Olshan last week was a triplex penthouse at 40 East End Avenue asking $25.5 million. This sponsor unit represents one of the top sales in the history of East End Avenue, and features 5,949 square feet of interior space and 1,866 square feet of private outdoor space. Many luxury buyers are seeking extra space in the wake of the pandemic, but Crista Villella of Corcoran Sunshine, part of the on-site sales team, says that the unidentified buyers started looking before Covid.
The 39 contracts comprised 23 condos, eight co-ops, and eight townhouses. New York City townhouses previously occupied by Eleanor Roosevelt and Edgar Allan Poe were among the past week's contracts, but homes connected to business impresarios commanded the highest asking prices: The Upper East Side home of real estate investor David Edelstein entered contract with an ask of $23 million, or just over the $19 million he paid for it in 2016. A few doors down, a carriage house once owned by John D. Rockefeller Jr. at 163 East 70th Street entered contact asking $17.95 million; it is currently configured as a single-family home with a ground-floor medical office.

Currently configured as a single family home with a ground floor medical office, with separate entrance, and delivered vacant, the ground floor presents buyers with incredible possibilities. Incorporate the office into the residence, rent as a separate medical office for an estimated $240k in annual rental income, keep as a private home office, expand the garage, use as private gallery space for an important art collection, create windowed staff suites, family recreation space, or any combination thereof.
163 East 70th Street was completely gut renovated in the 1970s to a very high standard, with steel and concrete construction. It combines the elegance and charm of a 19th century townhouse with proportions only found in the very grandest downtown lofts or pre-war Park or Fifth Avenue apartments. While in need of updating, with the potential to enlarge the house with a re-built 4th-floor rooftop addition, it has an ideal residential layout and features that many buyers would retain, including an exquisite sky-lit sculptural staircase that floods the center of the house with natural light, and a central elevator shaft. Upon entering the house, one is immediately drawn upwards by the light pouring in from the central stair, leading to the parlor level. An enormous but gracious living room opens on one end to an elegant library, with wood burning fireplace, and on the other to the formal dining room (which easily seats 20). A hall leads to a massive eat-in kitchen at the rear, with large glass doors open onto a terrace with lovely townhouse garden views. Two guest powder rooms complete the entertaining space.
