A new construction penthouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side has gone into contract for approx. $89 million, according to the developer.

The buyer is combining the top two units at the Bellemont condominium at 1165 Madison Avenue, according to Miki Naftali, chairman and CEO of Naftali Group, the building’s developer. The completed unit will comprise four full-floors spanning roughly 1200sqm, plus approximately 200sqm of outdoor space, he said.

Mr. Naftali declined to disclose the identity of the buyer, but said the purchaser is a New Yorker.

The larger of the two units, designed as a seven-bedroom, was originally listed for around $52 million. The smaller, designed as a four-bedroom, was listed for approx. $35.5 million. Mr. Naftali said the buyer is paying slightly more than the full asking price for the developer to deliver a combined unit with its own elevator. Alexa Lambert and Alison Black at Compass are marketing the project.

The deal is among the most expensive above 59th Street on the Upper East Side. The current record was set in 2015, when a Fifth Avenue co-op sold for approx. $103.5 million, according to research and appraisal firm Miller Samuel. A townhouse on East 67th Street traded for approx. $103.3 million in 2019, records show.

“That kind of price point in this neighbourhood is rare,” said Jonathan Miller of Miller Samuel. “Within the condo market itself, the only activity north of that number has been in one building: 520 Park Avenue.” In 2018, two units in that building sold for $98.8 million and $90.9 million, records show.

Like 520 Park, the Bellemont was designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and it will have a hand-laid limestone facade, Mr. Naftali said. He said he expects to start closings by the end of 2022.

Sales at the building, which has about 12 units, officially launched in late October, and Mr. Naftali said there are two other units in contract. The least expensive unit is asking $8.6 million, he said.

Manhattan luxury sales more than tripled during the third quarter of the year, compared to 2020, according to Miller Samuel.

London’s Luxury Property Market Turns a Corner

After more than a year, prices have finally levelled out in prime central London, while outer London saw a small uptick in high-end prices from the previous quarter

The first quarter of the year brought some long-awaited signs of recovery in London’s luxury housing market, offering the first positive quarterly price growth since September 2022, according to a report from Savills on Wednesday.

After six consecutive quarterly price falls, luxury home prices in central London levelled out in the first three months of the year, with a 0.1% quarterly uptick in prices. The £3 million to £5 million (US$3.79 million to US$6.32 million) market saw a slightly larger increase of 0.3%.

Outer London’s luxury market saw greater quarterly price growth, with home prices up 0.8%, as some stability returned to mortgage costs and lured more buyers back to the market, according to the report.

All of this is evidence that the market is “in early stages of recovery,” according to Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills.

“The outlook for the housing market has certainly improved, partly because the mortgage market has recovered more quickly than expected,” Cook said in the report. “With the first rate cut rapidly coming into view and recessionary risks easing, greater stability has returned to the cost of mortgage debt, which has positively impacted domestic prime markets, where many buyers rely on borrowing, most notably in leafy outer prime South and West London, as well as the commuter belt.”

Outside of London, prices across the U.K. saw no quarterly growth heading into the beginning of the spring market, which is expected to bring higher levels of buyer activity in many regions.

Suburban regions saw prices dip just 0.1%, while urban areas—like Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland, and Bath and Oxford in England—saw prices increase by 0.6%.

Cook said regional buyers are more likely to be concerned about market uncertainty than London buyers in the lead up to the general election.

“As a result, buyers are still expected to be less committed until the dust has settled,” he said.
