Apartments and Townhouses under Contract $4 million and above
August 15-21, 2011: 7 Contracts Signed

The 7 contracts signed last week matches the third week in August in 2010, an improvement over the 5 contracts that were signed in the same period in 2007 and 2008. The big news of the week: the sale of the 11th floor co-op at 927 Fifth Avenue, asking $31.5 million. In December 2010, this same apartment was purchased for $29.1 million by Will Zeckendorf, developer of 15 Central Park West, where he sold his own $40 million condo penthouse, the No.1 apartment sale of 2010.

The 11th floor at 927 Fifth Avenue has 14 rooms, 5 bedrooms, and 5.5 bathrooms, with 55' feet facing Central Park. It was previously owned by the late Bruce Wasserstein, Chairman and Chief Executive of Lazard Ltd.

Also, a $30 million unit closed on the 29th floor in The Ritz-Carlton Condo at 50 Central Park South . It has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with 5,705 square feet and an unconventional U-shaped layout. It has been on and off the market since the end of 2008. The apartment has 4 terraces and spectacular views of Central Park from the living room, master bedroom, library, formal dining room and family room. It was sold by hedge funder Scott Bommer to a limited liability company represented by a Miami attorney. Mr. Bommer has been involved in his share of high-end Manhattan deals: in 2008, he bought a $46 million penthouse at 1060 Fifth Avenue and then sold it in the same year for $48,836,000
