CityRealty's 10 most popular buildings of 2023

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Thursday, November 30, 2023

Many of the most popular buildings among CityRealty visitors enjoy sweeping views of Central Park (View from Central Park Tower, #39B - The Corcoran Group)

There is still one month left in 2023, but many seem to be taking the time between Thanksgiving and the December holidays to reflect on the biggest trends of the year (e.g. Spotify Wrapped). It is in this spirit that CityRealty looks back on the most popular buildings of 2023, as determined by number of views from site visitors.

2023 PPSF: $4,255 (2 sales)

The limestone-clad 15 Central Park West pays respectful tribute to the prewar buildings lining Central Park, and the interiors are beautifully appointed to make the most of park views. Residents enjoy easy access to Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Michelin-star dining, but the building's private restaurant has emerged as a holiday destination.

Glassy towers have come to define Billionaires' Row, but were all but unheard of in this stretch of Lower Manhattan before One Manhattan Square, the only downtown building among CityRealty visitors' most popular, took shape. It stands out as much for its soaring height as for the incredible array of amenities inside and out.

One sale in 2023
3 public availabilities from $15.95M - $48M

While Billionaires' Row has emerged as the new home of New York's wealthiest, the original "tower of power" has not been forgotten. The building has long attracted the world's wealthiest, and owners here are not interested in flipping their apartments, often holding onto them for decades. Between this and the highly selective co-op board, deals in this building are few and far between, but generate headlines when they happen.

While it has been overshadowed in terms of height and luxury by the supertalls to the west, Trump Tower still looms large over Fifth Avenue and in the minds of potential buyers.
