A high-floor duplex at 25 Columbus Circle just closed for $18.3 million after a flurry of offers, wrapping up a years-long, on-and-off listing saga with a competitive finish this month. The three-bedroom, five-bath spread looks straight out over Central Park and comes with an oversized sauna in the primary bath, plus a separately recorded storage locker that was folded into the sale.
Sale Details And Listing Specs
Unit 7273B closed at $18.3 million, a hair above its $18 million asking price but still shy of the roughly $18.8 million the seller paid in 2013. The purchase included a $190,000 storage unit, according to The Real Deal. The listing on StreetEasy pegs the duplex at roughly 3,491 square feet and shows it went into contract in mid-February before closing this month.
Buyer, Seller And The Brokers
Public records and broker comments identify the buyer as an LLC named Free Dog LLC, registered in Santa Barbara, and the seller as AEH Jay Corp., according to reporting and documents reviewed by The Real Deal. Brown Harris Stevens agents Joshua Arcus and Ileen Schoenfeld had the listing. Schoenfeld told The Real Deal, “Everything in life is timing,” as she explained why the sellers opted to take less than their 2013 purchase price in this cycle despite the bidding war.
The Building And Its Perks
The duplex sits in the residential portion of the Deutsche Bank Center, marketed as One Central Park, a Related Companies development that layers hotel-style service on top of condo living. Residents get a landscaped terrace, fitness center, pool and parking garage, along with access to Mandarin Oriental spa facilities, according to CityRealty. The mixed-use complex also houses The Shops at Columbus Circle and a lineup of well-known restaurants and retailers.
How This Sale Fits The Market
StreetEasy’s sales archive for the building shows a wide range of recent resales, including another duplex that closed in mid-February at roughly $13.25 million, underscoring the spread between more standard high-floor resales and the tower’s trophy-level trades. The full-floor penthouse PH80 was one of the building’s splashiest deals this year, closing at about $50.7 million, according to Realtor.com.
What To Watch Next
The 7273B deal highlights how LLC-shielded buyers remain a fixture in Manhattan’s prime corridors and how pricing has recovered unevenly between penthouse trophies and other high-floor duplexes. Brokers will be watching to see whether similar layouts spark more bidding battles as additional spring listings hit the market.
