34 Contracts Signed

There were plenty of upsets in the NCAA basketball tournament last week, but it was smooth sailing in Manhattan’s luxury real estate market: 34 contracts were signed at $4 million and above. Condos outsold co-ops 23 to 7, and 4 townhouses were in the mix. More than half of the action was downtown.

The No.1 contract was the childhood home of Gloria Vanderbilt: 39 East 72nd Street, a 13, 310-square-foot townhouse, asking $21.5 million. On and off the market since 2005, switching representation among multiple brokerage firms, this 27-foot-wide, 5-story house is residentially-zoned despite commercial leases for a doctor’s office and 6 art galleries. According to the listing brokers, the 9-year-marketing time was due to the fact that the owners rarely allowed the spaces to be shown. It’s hard to sell what you can’t show. The asking price translates to $1,615/sq.ft with real estate taxes of $185,775.

The No. 2 contract was 11 Hubert Street, asking $16 million for a 50-foot-wide building with 14,000 square feet. It was purchased in 2008 for $9.25 million and then renovated. It is currently configured as 2 ground-floor offices and 2 duplex apartments that feature high ceilings and large terraces.
