2015 Top 20 New York City Residential Real Estate Sales (By Price)

In March, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson sold this 14-room 11th-floor duplex to Ukrainian billionaire Leonard Blavatnik. Prior to the sale, Johnson had reportedly been seeking around $80 million. [Photo byNoondayNews/Flickr]

The 18th-floor unit at the Sherry Netherlandhad originally sought $95 million, but when it actually sold on March 6, the take was significantly less. Incredibly, it’s now back on the market, this time for $86 million.

The penthouse was sold in June by Andrey Valilov, one of the men at the center of a New York Times investigation into foreign buyers at the Columbus Circle complex. That means it probably had that barely lived-in feel to it. It’s a full-floor, 8,300-square-foot, six-bedroom unit redesigned by Tony Ingrao.

Get used to seeing One57 on this list—it occupies plenty of spots. This 77th floor unit, likely a duplex, sold for $47,782,187 on April 27. [Photo by Maxime Mialier/Flickr]

Height (and thus presumably better views) doesn’t always mean a home will go for more money. This 88th floor unit was sold on March 27 for $47,367,491. [Photo by Maxime Mialier/Flickr]

Easily the biggest celebrity on this list, rocker Jon Bon Jovi sold his unit in this Soho building(also known as 158 Mercer Street) for $34 million on May 1. There had been word (official and rumor) of him trying to offload the 7,400-square-foot five-bedroom pad since 2011, with the price going from $45 million to $42 million to $39.9 million to $37.5 million. Still, at $34 million, it’s more than the $24 million he paid for it.

This is the penthouse of the former rental building gone condo. It occupies the 21st floor and the roof, with 6,000 square feet of interior space, a whopping 2,270 square feet of wraparound terrace, and a 3,800-square-foot roof deck. The sale’s exact monetary figure was $32,658,763 and the sale took place on May 21.

This townhouse was built in 1848 and has 14-foot ceilings and a mosaic lap pool. It was converted to single-family after being purchased by orthopedic surgeon Warren Hammerschlag and developer David Amirian for $11.2 million in 2012. This sale set a record for the most expensive single-family home sold in Greenwich Village, netting $32 millionin September.

Related Companies CEO Jeff Blau bought unit 14A for $21.4 million in 2008, put it on the market for $43 million in 2014, and dropped the asking price to $34.5 million in 2015. What he got on July 10 was a clean $30 million for the four-bedroom pad with 26 windows and a view of the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.

The list concludes with another townhouse—but one that might not be long for this world, if its new owner gets his way. Russian real estate tycoon Roman Abramovich bought 13 East 75th Street for $30 million on July 13. His plan is to combine it with its neighbors at 11 and 15 into one megamansion. But there is a catch: It’s located within the boundaries of the Upper East Side Historic District, which means the LPC would have to approve any demolition or other modification—which may be a long shot.
