443 Greenwich Street, #5H, the top contract (Douglas Elliman)
While soaring new Midtown towers 53 West 53 and Central Park Tower put up impressive contract numbers from April 17-23, 2023, the top deal took place at 443 Greenwich Street, a low-rise building dating back to the 1880s and a celebrity favorite following its conversion to condos. Residence #5H, a four-bedroom home that combines original details with modern appliances and fixtures, entered contract with an asking price of $15,900,000. Neither the buyer nor seller was identified, but the contract was signed shortly after Jennifer Gates, medical student and daughter of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, was identified as the buyer of Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton's $51 million penthouse.

Also last week, Olshan Realty's luxury market report revealed that comedian/actress Amy Schumer found a buyer for the Upper West Side penthouse she listed in May 2022 with an asking price of $15,000,000. Shortly after the weekly report went out, The Wall Street Journal announced that it sold for $13 million to Oscar, Tony, and Grammy Award-winning composer Benj Pasek. The sale comes over six years after Ms. Schumer bought the apartment for $12,147,722, and nearly a year after she bought a Brooklyn Heights townhouse.
