Extell properties top Manhattan’s luxury contracts

Extell Development swept last week’s signed luxury contracts in Manhattan.

Two properties by Gary Barnett’s firm claimed the top spots in Olshan Realty’s weekly report on properties asking $4 million and above.

The most expensive unit to enter contract was a combination of two apartments at 50 West 66th Street on the Upper West Side. Units 47S and 47N asked a combined $45.5 million, and sold off of floor plans.

The 7,000-square-foot condo has five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, an office and a home theater. It also has a 550-square-foot kitchen, views of Central Park and ceilings rising between 13 and 14 feet tall.

Amenities at the 127-unit building include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, basketball and squash courts, a bowling alley and fitness center.

The 14 homes that went into contract last week — 12 condos, one co-op and one townhouse — combined for $182 million in volume. The median asking price was $7.3 million and the average asking price was $13 million. The average home spent 324 days on the market and received a 1 percent discount.

The reported total was down one from the prior week, but four contracts were signed for properties asking $20 million or more.
