During the yearlong period starting July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017, the average price per square foot was $2,788, which represents a year-over-year price increase of 9%. Prices rose in part because of closings recorded in very expensive newer developments such as 432 Park Avenue and One57, as well as continued high prices in properties such as 15 Central Park West.
