Quarter-over-quarter, the total number of sponsor sales in Manhattan decreased by 15.8% from 475 sales during 2Q23 to 400 sales this past quarter.
In that same span, total sales volume decreased by 18.1%, from $1,887,341,637 to $1,545,011,564. Quarter-over-quarter, the median price per square foot

Out of all the neighborhoods tracked by this report, Chelsea / Hudson Yards had the highest number of sponsor sales this past quarter with a recorded 107
closings (26.75%) out of the total 400 that occurred in 3Q23. This was driven by several closings across 300 West 30th Street, 35 Hudson Yards and 555
West 22nd Street.
The highest price paid per square foot and by sales price occurred at JDS Development’s 111 West 57th St, where PT61, which spans 7,175 sqft, was sold for
$52,952,250 or $7,380.10 psf.
MARKET UP-SWINGS
The largest quarterly upswing was observed in East Village where the median price per square foot increased by 7.00% from $1,836 psf to $1,964, with a median sales price increase from $1,252,200 to $2,862,500. This jump was largely attributed to several 2 and 3bed+ closings that occurred this past quarter.
