New York City’s frosty first week of January accompanied a slight cooldown in Manhattan’s luxury market.
Buyers signed just 21 contracts for homes asking $4 million and above, according to Olshan Realty’s weekly report. Of those, condos outsold co-ops 13 to six and two townhouses traded hands.
The priciest contract was unit 5C at 71 Laight Street in Tribeca, which asked $13.1 million. The 3,708-square-foot condo has five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, along with an eat-in kitchen and 11- to 12-foot ceilings. The owner purchased the unit from the sponsor for $9.95 million in December 2015.
The apartment is in the 32-unit Sterling Mason condo, which has amenities such as a doorman, concierge, fitness center, playroom, bike room and storage.
The second-priciest contract was also in Tribeca. The unit at 56 Leonard Street — the condo building noted for its Jenga-like appearance —asked $13 million. With 3,371 square feet, the apartment includes four bedrooms and four and a half baths. It also features 12-foot ceilings and balconies off the living room and master bedroom.
