Where the Most Expensive Condos Are
The ten sales are in 6 buildings, all of them on or near Central Park:
- 220 Central Park South, the limestone tower that holds the record and most of the list. Read our 220 Central Park South guide.
- Aman New York Residences at 730 Fifth Avenue, condos above a hotel in the former Crown Building. See the Aman New York guide.
- Central Park Tower at 217 West 57th Street, the city's tallest residential building. See the Central Park Tower guide.
- One57 at 157 West 57th Street, the tower that started the Billionaires' Row boom.
- 432 Park Avenue at East 57th Street, Rafael Viñoly's pencil-thin tower.
- 15 Central Park West, the Robert A.M. Stern limestone building at West 61st Street, whose penthouse sale is the oldest on the list.
The list spans 2012 to 2024, so the top of the market hasn't moved on. The biggest prices are still being paid for full floors and penthouses with park views.
What This Means for Buyers
The price is only the start. At this level, the mansion tax alone is 3.9% of the price, and in a new development buyers usually pay the sponsor's transfer taxes too. See closing costs for a new NYC condo.
Carrying costs are their own budget line. Each apartment's common charges and estimated property taxes are listed in the offering plan's Schedule A. For the biggest units, they can run to tens of thousands of dollars a month. See Schedule A and Schedule B.
Read the plan, not just the listing. Plans for these towers spell out things marketing glosses over: hotel services you pay for, staff apartments and storage sold separately, and who controls the board while the developer still owns units.
How This Is Counted
We counted deeds (and, for leasehold condos, the transfer tax filings that stand in for them) recorded in ACRIS, the city's property records, for the condo buildings we've matched to their tax lots, through September 2026. Each sale is one deed for one apartment, new or resale. Deeds covering several units at once, and deeds for hotel, retail, rental or other commercial units, are left out, since their price isn't one home's. Buildings without an offering plan on file aren't included, so this ranks the 3,110 buildings we cover, not every sale in the city.
