The first quarter of 2022 draws to a close with the first interest rate increase in more than three years on the horizon and amidst uncertainty about the war in Ukraine, but that does not seem to have cooled the Manhattan real estate market. A report from Douglas Elliman found that in 2022, Manhattan reported the highest number of units ever sold during the first quarter of any year since at least 1989. Coldwell Banker Warburg concurs, with President Frederick Warburg Peters observing that "sales have remained brisk throughout the first quarter."
Billionaires' Row condos have long dominated the top sales charts this year, and the past week was no exception: A full-floor Tower Residence at 111 West 57th Street, New York's most slender buildings and one of its tallest, had the top sale at $26,708,622. The spectacular Great Room looks out on Central Park views through floor-to-ceiling windows, and the south-facing bedrooms face the iconic Midtown skyline.
A short distance away, the second-highest sale of the past week took place at 15 Central Park West, where a three-bedroom unit sold for $18,000,000 in an off-market deal. The seller was listed as Alan Howard.
