UPDATED, Aug. 1, 2022, 1 p.m.: Sponsor units had their moment last week, as developers sold half of the luxury properties to enter into contract.
The priciest unit to enter into contract was PH20 at JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group’s 111 West 57th Street, according to a weekly report of Manhattan residential properties priced at $4 million and above by Olshan Realty. The unit asked $21 million, raised from $19 million when the building started marketing off of floorplans in 2016.
The duplex condo has over 5,000 square feet across three bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, along with nearly 4,000 square feet in terraces.
Terraces sit alongside the unit’s 42-foot by 25-foot great room with 26-foot ceilings, along with two downstairs bedrooms. The primary bedroom upstairs opens onto a terrace with over 2,500 square feet.
The Billionaires’ Row tower is a 60-unit, 82-story building that rises nearly 1,500 feet on the former site of the Steinway & Sons piano store. Completion is expected by the end of the year or by the first quarter of 2023.
