The Astor, #PH1 (Douglas Elliman)
The week ending October 4, 2025 included the Yom Kippur holiday, which could have accounted for a week-over-week decline in the number of sales recorded. The aggregate dollar amount dipped during this time as well, but perhaps this was inevitable with fewer sales over $10 million being recorded during this time.
The past week was a solid one for Upper West Side condominiums. Early last week, Penthouse #2A at One Riverside Park was recorded for nearly $18 million. Public records show that the seller has taken a loss, having bought it from the sponsor for $19.7 million in December 2016, but it was still high enough for the top sale of the week. The listing notes that Emmy-nominated actress Kerry Washington once rented the penthouse, but both the buyer and seller conducted the transaction through LLCs.

The Astor penthouses (Douglas Elliman)
Also on the Upper West Side, Penthouse #1 at The Astor, the condo conversion of a prewar complex developed by William Waldorf Astor, closed for $10.75 million. This is nearly $2 million below the ask when it entered contract in June 2025, but was still high enough for the third-highest sale of the week.
This sale was recorded about five months after that of the first recorded penthouse closing in The Astor, and marks the final penthouse sale in the building. The third was snapped up in an off-market deal before sales officially launched. All three penthouses were newly constructed amidst The Astor's condo conversion, and open to expansive private terraces overlooking historic Upper West Side views. Interiors boast expansive proportions, living rooms with gas fireplaces, kitchens with Calacatta Gold marble countertops and top-of-the-line appliances, and ultra-private primary suites with beautifully finished baths.
The Astor's design by Clinton & Russell was beautifully preserved amidst its condo conversion, and now offers amenities like a fully attended lobby, a fitness center, and a children's playroom; an unofficial perk is its prime Upper West Side address near Central and Riverside Parks as well as popular dining and retail. Such factors were instrumental in its place among New York City's best-selling buildings of 2025, and a small handful of public availabilities starts at $5 million.

Beyond the Upper West Side waterfront, Residence #24A at 220 Central Park South closed for $16.15 million in the second-highest sale of the week. Public records show that the seller, identified through an LLC, bought it from the sponsor for $11.86 million in October 2016.
A few days later, Residence #25A also closed for $16.15 million. This was recorded just outside the parameters of last week's sales data, but will likely rank among the top sales of the first full week of October 2025.

Also of note, a Soho loft listed by the estate of Jackie Winsor, the first female sculptor to be given a mid-career retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, closed for just under $5 million. This is slightly above the ask when it entered contract in July 2025.
The listing for Residence #2M at 541 Broadway notes that it "awaits your architect's vision," but boasts such original features as tin ceilings over 13 feet high, oversized windows, and direct elevator access. It is located on a cobblestone street near popular Soho designer shopping; indeed, retail tenants in the building make for super-low maintenance fees ($200/month).
