One Beacon Court, #PH51W, the past week's top sale (Compass)
The top sale of the past week was the penthouse at One Beacon Court, which closed for $33,000,000. The sale comes less than a year since hedge fund mogul and Mets owner Steve Cohen unloaded it at a dramatically reduced price of $30,500,000. A short time after that sale closed, the seller relisted the penthouse in October 2021; it entered contract in January 2022 with an asking price of $36,000,000.
The top downtown sale and second-highest sale of the past week took place in Tribeca, where a massive triplex maisonette closed for $17,250,000. It is located at 60 Collister Street, which was originally built in 1867 as a stable for American Express. When it was converted to a luxury boutique condominium, original details like exposed brick, cast-iron columns, and oversized windows were painstakingly restored with the blessing of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. In a review of the building, architecture critic Carter Horsley observed that the maisonette, also known as The Marble House, features a lower-level swimming pool, a 12-seat home theater, a game room with wet bar, and an office/music room.
The top co-op sale was a five-bedroom, five-bath home at 1010 Fifth Avenue, which sold for $10,950,000. The prewar building is located directly across the street from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, the latter of which is highly appropriate, given its seller - philanthropist Elizabeth H. Atwood, who was the former treasurer of the Central Park Conservancy and now serves at Vice President of the Board of Trustees at The Battery.

- From April 25 - May 2, 2022, a total of 326 townhouses, condos, co-ops, and condops entered contract

- The 113 condo deals came in at a median asking price of $1.55 million, and spent an average of 81 days on the market
- The 9 condop deals came to a median last asking price of $1.14 million, and spent an average of 29 days on the market
- The 198 co-op deals came to a median last asking price of $895K and spent an average of 74 days on the market

10 East 76th Street (Serhant)
The top contract of the past week was 10 East 76th Street, which was originally built as a brownstone mansion at the height of the Gilded Age in the early 1880s. In 1906, wealthy couple Dora and Alfred Schiffer, who lived at 12 East 76th Street, bought the neighboring property and announced plans to combine the two into one magnificent home; while these did not come to fruition (much like John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s plans for their Nolita penthouses), they did use architects Schwartz & Gross to transform the original brownstone into a Beaux Arts mansion with a limestone facade. Sadly, Mr. Schiffer died before the work was complete and Mrs. Schiffer never moved in. She sold the house to Gilded Age financier James Cox Brady (h/t Dayton in Manhattan).
Mr. Brady died in 1927, but his family lived in the house until 1946; it was converted to a doctor’s office with two apartments per floor that same year. In 1994, Claudio Guazzoni de Zanett, owner of hedge fund Zanett Asset Management, purchased the townhouse and used it as a 12,380-square-foot “family compound” that allowed extended family members to live under the same roof while still enjoying their privacy. When Mr. Zanett listed the townhouse in April 2018, it had two prices - $30 million in US dollars or $45 million in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Ripple, the latter of which nods to the volatility of cryptocurrency. Most recently, at a time when we seem to be in the midst of another Gilded Age, the townhouse entered contract with an asking price of $29,975,000. It was not specified whether the unidentified buyer is paying cash or crypto for it.
The top apartment contract and second-highest overall took place at 111 West 57th Street, where Unit #45 was nipping at the townhouse’s heels with an asking price of $29,750,000. Olshan Realty’s market report notes that this grand full-floor residence’s price went up from $28.25 million, when it was listed off floor plans in 2016. Closings are now underway in the building, and the contract comes a few weeks after a $27.9 million sale was the highest of the week.
