Woolworth Tower Residences #PAVILIONA, the past week's second-highest luxury contract (Sotheby's International Realty)
Manhattan Sales:
- In the third full week of April 2022, a total of 256 condo, co-op, and condop sales were recorded in Manhattan
- The aggregate total of sales was $483.9 million, and came to a median sales price of $1.398 million
- 131 condo sales came to a median price of $1.675 million ($1,585 per square foot)
- Five condop sales came to a median price of $1.595 million
- 120 co-op sales came to a median price of $999K
In this article:
The past week saw 49 fewer sales than last week, and the aggregate total of sales was down 22.7 percent. However, it should be noted that the Easter, Passover, and Ramadan holidays fell at the same time in 2022, which could explain the quieter week. Rising mortgage rates could also be a factor in the slower than average April so far.
The top sale of the past week was a high-floor condo at The Four Seasons Private Residences, which closed for $11,600,000, or 31.2 percent below its last listing price of $16,850,000. Not only do residents have access to the amenities and services of the Four Seasons Downtown, which include Wolfgang Puck restaurant CUT, but the 38th floor is dedicated to residents-only amenities. The buyers and sellers were identified only through LLCs.
The Four Seasons sale was trailed closely by one at The Plaza, which closed for $10,000,000. Seller Vladimir Stolyarenko is a Russian banker and the former president and chairman of the board of Evrofinance Mosnarbank; the buyer is his wife, Alfiya Stolyarenko. While Mr. Stolyarenko's work as the co-sponsor of several anti-corruption initiatives is not likely to make him a favorite of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the sale nevertheless comes at a time when Russian oligarchs and executives all over the world are seeing their assets frozen or seized in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which just entered its second month. According to the New York Observer, Mr. Stolyarenko paid $10,184,363.46 for it in 2007.
Manhattan Contracts:
- From April 18-24, 2022, a total of 302 townhouses, condos, co-ops, and condops entered contract
- The average time on the market was 83 days
- The total sticker price sum came to $721,698,576, and the median last asking price came to $1.28 million
- The 126 condo deals came in at a median asking price of $1.999 million, and spent an average of 109 days on the market
- The 12 condop deals came to a median last asking price of $12.57 million, and spent an average of 52 days on the market
- The 154 co-op deals came to a median last asking price of $948K and spent an average of 59 days on the market
- Eight townhouse deals came to a median last asking price of $6.24 million and spent an average of 176 days on the market
432 Park Avenue, #82 (Douglas Elliman)
Last week, the headlines were abuzz about a $79,000,000 contract at 432 Park Avenue, the Rafael Vinoly-designed supertall on Billionaires' Row. The full-floor, 8,054-square-foot combination unit with soaring ceilings and breathtaking views was originally listed for $90,000,000 in August 2020; nevertheless, CityRealty statistics show that if the sale goes through, it will be the largest residential sale of this year and one of the biggest real estate deals since the onset of the pandemic. Olshan identified the buyer as someone who already lives in the building and is undeterred by reports of design problems exposed in The New York Times.
The second-highest contract was a pavilion residence at The Woolworth Tower Residences, which was asking $23,3355,000, or 30 percent off the original listing price of $33,350,000. The Woolworth Tower was the tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1913; today it is one of New York's most prestigious condos. Only one listing, the five-story Pinnacle Penthouse, remains on the market for $79,000,000.
