Trophy Downtown condos made a strong showing in Q4 2020, claiming six of the ten priciest deals, with the remaining coming from buildings on Billionaires' Row. The most expensive sale was registered at 70 Vestry Street, where a 12th-floor combination unit previously owned by Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen sold for $40,363,875. An insider tells the New York Post that a local financier picked up the spread, Brady/ Bündchen will maintain a smaller unit they own in the building as they build out a new home in Florida (Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year).
Trailing just behind, at an even $40 million, is a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath "Villa" unit in 220 Central Park South. Remarkably, the sale is the tower's tenth deal above $10,000/ft2, by far making the Robert A.M. Stern-designed condo-tower the most successful in the city, if not the world. Rounding out the top three is Penthouse 11B at 90 Morton Street. Perched above the West Village with Hudson River views, the 5-bed/4.5-bath home closed in early December for $24,802,505 and puts the building's overall average price per square foot north of $3,000. The Brack Capital-developed building has two other penthouses on the market priced at $18M and $17.7M apiece.
