Aman New York scored its first resale earlier this week, The Real Deal has learned.
A penthouse at Vlad Doronin’s luxury hotel condo conversion closed for $64 million, according to public records. The deal for Unit 23A amounts to more than $10,000 per square foot — up from the previous purchase price of $8,000 per square foot.
A spokesperson for developer OKO Group declined to provide the identities of the buyer or seller.
Earlier this year, an unknown trust paid $51 million for the 6,300-square-foot apartment, which has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. It also features a library, home theater and views of Central Park.
The unit resold for a premium, but the deal was still less than the $66 million the developer asked for the condo when sales launched in January 2020.
Amie Buchanan, who led sales at 730 Fifth Avenue for the developer’s in-house team, represented the seller. Buchanan did not immediately respond for comment.
Doronin’s project made headlines earlier this month when the pinnacle penthouse closed for $135 million. The buyer turned out to be Doronin himself, though the developer previously told the Wall Street Journal an Asian investor had agreed to pay $180 million for the unit.

The closing of the crown jewel unit followed a string of pricey deals at the building, which was completed in 2022. In February, Hong Kong-based private equity executive, Terence Chan, paid $62 million for a 24th-floor condo. Last July, an LLC linked to a Swedish money manager bought a full-floor unit for $76 million.
All of the building’s 22 residences, which comprise the upper floors of the Crown Building, have been sold. The building’s amenities include a three-story spa, fitness center, two restaurants and an indoor swimming pool.
Doronin and developer Michael Shvo bought the 290,000-square-foot office portion of the Crown Building for $475 million in 2015. But Shvo was dropped from the project two years later, though he still retains a small stake.
