Call a doctor! Prices at a health-focused development in Greenwich Village seem to be ailing.

The biggest price chop in the over-$10 million market last week was the Delos Living townhouse with vitamin C-infused shower water at 66 East 11th Street. The asking price for the townhouse — which boasts “wellness features” like a circadian lighting system — has been downsized by 27 percent, to $12.7 million.

It’s certainly not the only pricey pad in the city where frowning sellers are lowering their expectations. Data provided to The Real Deal by StreetEasy for the period between Oct. 24 and Oct. 28 show significant price reductions on a number of properties — some of which have already been slashed several times before.

Here’s a look at the other biggest price cuts in New York City for the week:

66 East 11th Street, Townhouse

Previous Price: $17.5 million

Current Price: $12.7 million ($1,901 per square foot)

Percentage Drop: 27 percent

The townhouse in this condominium conversion — where the one-and-only Leonardo DiCaprio owns a place  — was first listed back in March for $17.5 million. It sat on the market for seven months and last Monday the asking price was lowered to $12.7 million, a reduction of 27 percent. Delos Living is selling the pad, which spans more than 6,700 square feet across three floors, as a “white box” to be completed by the new owner. Opportunity abounds!

In April, the penthouse in the building — which has vitamin C-infused showers, purified air and posture-supporting flooring — sold for $26 million, nearly half of the unit’s initial asking price.

Nathan Berman’s Metro Loft Management first tried to sell this 3,600-square-foot unit for $10.5 million in September 2014.

The apartment has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The building has a 71-foot indoor swimming pool, a Turkish bath and a temperature-controlled wine cellar.

Earlier this year, Metro Loft found a buyer for a $54 million penthouse at the building.
