The biggest price cuts on luxury pads
A penthouse at the Metal Shutter House received the biggest price cut in the last two weeks
Price cuts on the city’s priciest pads have slowed in recent weeks, as sellers wait out the summer slowdown.
Just three homes asking more than $10 million have been price reduced by more than 5 percent in the last two weeks, according to data from StreetEasy. There’s also been little activity from buyers, with luxury contracts dropping to a five-year seasonal low this summer, according to data from Olshan Realty.
Here’s a look at the biggest price reductions:
524 West 19th Street, Penthouse
Previous Price: $12.9 million
Current Price: $11 million ($3,312 per square foot)
Percentage Drop: 15 percent
This penthouse in the Metal Shutter House in West Chelsea hit the market in late June for $12.9 million, but it’s now received a rather severe price cut and is asking $11 million.
The home, designed by Pritzker prize-winning Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and nearly 2,000 square feet of landscaped terraces, according to the listing. The living room has a 20-foot pivoting wall that can open to create one indoor/outdoor space. It last sold in 2011 for $11.5 million, records show.
The Corcoran Group’s Robert Browne, Chris Kann and Jennifer Ireland Kubis have the listing.

151 East 58th Street, PH53W
Previous Price: $37.5 million
Current Price: $35 million ($7,777 per square foot)
Percentage Drop: 7 percent
First listed back in September for $37.5 million, this One Beacon Court penthouse now has a new broker and a price cut. It’s now on the market for $35 million, a 7 percent reduction on its last asking price. The owner bought it for $18.5 million in 2010, using an LLC called “Credit Nikomu,” records show.
The three-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom home has 200 linear feet of 12-foot high glass ceilings as well as staff quarters, the listing says. It’s not the only unit at the building — which features a fitness center, entertainment suite and 24-hour doorman — to see dramatic price cuts. Billionaire Steven Cohen has been forced to chop the price of his apartment there several times since it hit the market asking $115 million.
