The unit that set off a rewarding sales streak in the early days of Vornado’s 220 Central Park South is back on the market.
Unit 24B is asking $21.8 million, or $8,314 per square foot, just four years after selling to an anonymous buyer in 2018 for $14.6 million.
The 24th-floor unit was the first to close in a series of early sales at the Billionaire’s Row tower that saved its developer from a year of tough financial losses. The building raked in $1 billion in profits by the end of 2020, securing its status as the world’s most profitable condo.
One of the tower’s units — a 23,000-square-foot quadplex purchased by Ken Griffin for $240 million — holds the record for the priciest residential deal in the United States.
The building also sparked headlines with Sting and Trudie Styler paying $66 million for a penthouse villa in 2019 and billionaire investor Daniel Och paying $93 million for a 9,800-square-foot penthouse.

The Corcoran Group’s Deborah Kern had the listing.
