New York City's top sales and best-selling buildings of May 2020

In May 2020, there were 436 residential condo, co-op, and condop sales recorded in Manhattan for a total dollar amount of $821 million, down 21.8% from even one month ago, when April's aggregate sales still hovered over $1 billion. The effects of the coronavirus outbreak and the lockdown to contain it cannot be ignored, but The New York Times notes that several of the top deals that closed in May entered contract while New York City was still open.

For the most part, flashy, amenity-rich new construction dominated the list of top ten buildings. However, a single sale of a full-floor home in a J.E.R. Carpenter-designed Upper East Side cooperative left even 220 Central Park South in the dust. See the fully sortable table of May's listings below.
