One Madison, #41AB, the past week's top apartment contract (R New York)
It is impossible to cite one cause of New York's housing shortage, but lack of buildable space, the logistical hurdles of converting vacant commercial buildings to residential, and bureaucratic woes cannot help. Another factor at work is a certain class of luxury buyers' penchant for turning multi-family buildings into single-family mansions, a phenomenon that could not be overlooked when reviewing last week's luxury contracts. The top contract recorded by Olshan Realty was 276 West 11th Street, a prewar house asking $16,995,000 and divided into five one-bedroom apartments. Velvet Abashian, the broker who has spent the past 30 years handling its rentals, identified the buyer only as being from England and planning to turn it into a single-family home.
Further uptown at 413-415 West 22nd Street, a pair of townhouses with 17 units between them were marketed with a number of flexible future uses, including two single-family homes or one mansion. They entered contract with a $12,450,000 ask.

The top apartment contract was for #41AB at One Madison, a four-bedroom, four-bath, 3,310-square-foot condo that entered contract with a $12,750,000 ask. Neither the buyer nor seller was identified, but One Madison's residents have included Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, and Rupert Murdoch. A full-floor home in the building previously owned by Mr. Murdoch sold for $12,500,000 earlier this fall, and his triplex penthouse remains on the market for $58,000,000. There is also an option to rent the penthouse for $160,000/month.
