Penthouses in Tribeca and the Upper East Side led another busy week for Manhattan’s luxury market.

Unit PHE at 443 Greenwich, asking $28 million, was the priciest of 21 properties in the borough to find buyers between Feb. 5 and Feb. 11, according to Olshan Realty’s weekly report on homes asking $4 million or more.

The triplex condo spans nearly 5,000 square feet and has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. It features a 1,200-square-foot terrace, and the deal for the unit also includes a parking space with an electric charging station.

The home hit the market in July with an asking price of $32.5 million. It last traded for $20 million in 2017, when the seller purchased it from the sponsor. 

Compass’ Jennifer Regen had the listing. 

Metro Lofts converted 443 Greenwich, a former factory built in the 1880s, into a 53-unit condominium in 2015. The building’s amenities include doormen, a fitness center, lap pool and garage with valet parking.

Since sales launched in 2014, the building — known for being “paparazzi-proof” —  has welcomed a slew of star-studded buyers, including Jennifer Lawrence, Justin Timberlake and Amy Schumer.

The second most expensive home to enter contract was a penthouse at Ryback Development’s 126 East 86th Street, with an asking price just under $20 million. The duplex condo spans 5,700 square feet and has five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

The home also has three balconies and a 1,600-square-foot rooftop terrace with a pergola and outdoor kitchen.

Corcoran’s Beth Benalloul had the listing.

Corcoran New Development heads sales at the 19-story building, known as Arloparc. Its amenities include doormen, a fitness center, children’s playroom and lounge with a terrace. 

Of the 21 contracts inked, two were for co-ops, 16 were for condos and three were for townhouses. A third of last week’s contracts were for homes asking over $10 million. 

The properties’ combined asking price was $204 million, which works out to a median asking price of $7.3 million and an average asking price of $9.7 million. The typical home received a 13 percent discount and spent 695 days on the market.
