One Madison, #PH (The Corcoran Group) One Madison, #PH (The Corcoran Group)
From the most intimate boutique condominiums to expansive prewar cooperatives, the definition of a New York City penthouse is largely the same: the top-floor unit with the most square footage and best views in the building. More often than not, the penthouse also includes the highest ceilings, more luxurious appliances and finishes than its counterparts below, and the greatest probability of having private outdoor space. Finally, one should expect to pay for these privileges - the penthouse is typically the highest-priced unit in the building.

From May 10-16, 2023, a total of 353 sales listings throughout New York, a number of penthouses among them, experienced price reductions. A selection of notable listings may be found below; please note that all percentages quoted show cumulative price cuts as opposed to the most recent reduction.
