The biggest price cuts on luxury pads last week
An UES townhouse received the biggest price reduction
Don Imus knows a thing or two about getting cut.
But this time, the radio show host, who was famously dropped by CBS in 2007, is doing the slicing and dicing. He’s just lowered the asking price of his Upper East Side co-op by $2 million.
In total, seven pads asking $10 million or more received price reductions of more than 5 percent, according to StreetEasy. The ultra-luxury market was sluggish last week, with just two contracts in the over $10-million market signed, Olshan Realty reported.
Here’s a look at the biggest price reductions on luxury pads:
870 Park Avenue
Previous Price: $29.9 million
Current Price: $24.5 million ($2,279 per square foot)
Percentage Drop: 18 percent
This four-story, 25-foot wide townhouse with a facade designed by Robert A.M. Stern has quite a history with price cuts. It last sold in 2011 for $18.3 million, after a number of severe reductions.
The buyer back then, shielded by an LLC, picked up the home from Town Residential’s Lori Shabtai.
It’s now back on the market, and was first listed in October 2015, asking $29.9 million. It was delisted and re-listed in January last year for the same price — and it sat there for more than a year. Last week, it was reduced by 18 percent, and is now asking $24.5 million.
Paula Del Nunzio of Brown Harris Stevens has the listing. She was not immediately available for comment.

This full-floor, 3,380-square-foot condominium at RFR’s development at 100 East 53rd Street just got $1.5 million cheaper. With three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, the apartment has 11-foot ceilings, oak flooring and southern, western, northern and eastern exposures. Foster + Partners designed the building.
Rosen told The Real Deal last year that most units at 100 East 53rd Street would not be affected by the slowdown in the luxury market, and said there is a “very vibrant market” for apartments at that particular price point.
Amenities at the building include a 60-foot swimming pool, a yoga and pilates rooms and a “highly-curated” library.
