  • Unit 91W at 217 West 57th Street, last asking $18 million, was the most expensive home to land a signed contract.
  • The second priciest home to find a buyer last week was Unit 8901 at 35 Hudson Yards, with an asking price of $15 million — almost six years after hitting the market for $29 million
  • The number of contracts signed for luxury properties in Manhattan so far this year is on pace with 2024.  

Sponsor units at Billionaires’ Row and Hudson Yards towers led Manhattan’s luxury market through the end of January. 

Condos at Extell Development’s Central Park Tower and Related Companies’ 35 Hudson Yards were the priciest of 22 homes in Manhattan asking $4 million or more to find buyers between Jan. 27 and Feb. 2, according to Olshan Realty’s weekly report. 

Last week’s total was up from just 14 pending deals in the previous period. Since the start of 2025, buyers have signed 104 contracts for luxury homes in the borough — the same number as the previous year. 

Unit 91W at 217 West 57th Street, last asking $18 million, was the most expensive home to land a signed contract. The 3,000-square-foot apartment initially asked close to $19 million when it was marketed off floor plans in 2016. 

The unit has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It features floor-to-ceiling glass windows with views of the Hudson River. 

Extell’s in-house team and Corcoran Sunshine are heading sales at Central Park Tower, which at 1,550 feet tall, is billed as the world’s tallest residential building. Amenities at the 179-unit development include indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center and cigar lounge. 

Units at the supertall have traded for significant discounts since sales launched in 2018. The developer was initially aiming for a $4 billion sellout but has since amended expectations to closer to $3 billion.

Despite the price cuts, Central Park Tower nabbed the second most expensive home sale in the city last year when a penthouse on the 107th and 108th floors sold for $117 million, down from its $175 million asking price when it hit the market in 2023. 

The second priciest home to find a buyer last week was Unit 8901 at 35 Hudson Yards, with an asking price of $15 million. The 4,600-square-foot condo first hit the market in 2019 with an asking price just under $29 million. The apartment has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and features nearly 15-foot ceilings. 

Sales launched at the 143-unit building in 2019 with a team from Related and Corcoran Sunshine at the helm. Its amenities include a yoga studio, golf simulator and residents’ lounge with a terrace. 

One of the penthouses at 35 Hudson Yards was featured as the home of Kendall Roy in HBO’s “Succession.” The condo, PH90, sold for $35 million in 2022, a discount of more than 40 percent from its original listing price. 

Of the 22 properties, 12 were condos, seven were co-ops, one was a condop and two were townhouses. 

The homes’ combined asking price was $193 million, which works out to an average price of $8.8 million and a median of $7.3 million. The typical home spent more than 800 days on the market and was discounted 14 percent from the original listing price.
